“Every day, I wake up and wonder if today will be another day my body turns against me. I was diagnosed with sickle cell anaemia when I was just 8. Since then, my life has been filled with excruciating pain, countless blood transfusions, hospital visits, and dreams put on hold. While others my age plan their futures, I learn to survive one painful day at a time. Doctors have now told me that a bone marrow transplant is my best chance at a healthy, independent life. I've waited for it since childhood. My family has already spent everything; my father's pension is all we have left. But more than anything, I want to live without pain. Your support can be the reason I finally get to live the life I've been fighting for.” - Megha, 27.
