While i was visiting India last winter, I went to Amritsar to meet Kanwar (whom we all friends call bhullar). The same guy I met a year before on his wedding. Never ever i imagined that i will see him in this situation. I was excited about seeing him, only to find out that i cannot. And the reason, chemotherapieshis, his body defence has become so weak that even a cough or sneeze can be fatal for him. Only his wife sees him every day for his day to day care. Even his parents don't see him that often. His room needs to sanitation few times a day to prevent anything that can attack his body.
He was sitting in the next room from where we (me, our other friends and Kanwar's mom) were sitting. A friend with whom i spent a majority of my time during my undergrad was just a few steps from me. It was hard not to see him. All i could see was a closed door and a fact that he is just right there. His mom was sad, at that time they were facing two daunting tasks. One was to find a bone marrow donor (which now that have found) and the second was to arrange $500,000 for this treatment in USA (which is still a challenge)
We all promised that we will help them financially as much as we can. We saw a little satisfied mom, who now knew that we will help them. After having a cup of tea and updates on this health we left. But we did not leave promises behind, we knew we have to raise $500,000 for him. The amount seemed huge, but if you think even if 5000 people donate $100 each, we will easily achieve our target... we are trying every single day.. raising awareness and urging everyone to donate.. everything anything matters.. please do your part and make a donation... we really need your help.
