Indore, MP: In a deeply emotional appeal, a mother from Indore has reached out to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav for help to save her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Anika, who is suffering from a rare and life-threatening disease. The mother has urged the CM to request all beneficiaries of the “Ladli Bahna” scheme to contribute just ₹10 each, a small amount that could collectively help fund her daughter’s critical treatment, which costs a staggering ₹9 crore.
A Rare Disease Demanding Urgent Treatment
Anika, daughter of Praveen Sharma from Rajgarh Byawara, has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA Type 2), an extremely rare genetic disorder. Unfortunately, this treatment is not available in India and requires specialized therapy in the United States, costing nearly ₹9 crore.
During a public hearing at the Collectorate on Monday, the case moved everyone present, highlighting the urgent need for assistance. Anika is currently undergoing preliminary care at AIIMS, Delhi, but her family fears serious complications if the specialized treatment is delayed.
Appeal to Government and Society
Her mother, Sarika Sharma, has been tirelessly approaching authorities and social organizations to raise the required funds. She personally appealed to Collector Shivam Verma, who assured her of full administrative support and urged industrialists, social organizations, and citizens to come forward to help save Anika’s life.
A Simple Request to Save a Life
In her heartfelt plea to the CM, Sarika said:
“You have done wonderful work for Ladli Bahna. I humbly request that each Ladli Bahna contribute ₹10. With this help, my daughter can have a chance at a new life.”
The mother’s emotional appeal has resonated widely, underlining the critical role of community support in saving lives of children suffering from rare and severe medical conditions.
