Ira - The Fighter

Last couple of days have brought in many disturbing news, so that nothing feels right. These are gloomy times. It does not feel right to joke and laugh. It does not feel right to be happy. It did not feel right to write this post.

And stay strong and safe people!

Even as it shifts shape, hope sustains life Following a major surgery for brain tumour, four-year old Ira ended up in a vegetative state. With each passing day, her family’s hopes for cure and recovery changed to hopes for comfort and relief. For her mother, Ira’s life was a lesson in the importanc

This post is for those who often asked 'why Ira had cancer?'

For those who have loved her despite never having met her (through this post you will get to know her more).

For those who knew her and miss her.

And for every parent who has ever lost a child.

WHY YOU SHOULD STOP ASKING YOURSELF THE QUESTION 'WHY ME?'?

In the broader perspective, medical treatment may drain one of the saved finances. It definitely shook our accounts during Ira’s treatment.
Here’s how crowdfunding saved us from a financial clinch, how to start a campaign ( for business or social causes) and what it means to the general Indian population.
