My name is Saarthak, and I am reaching out with a request that is very difficult for me to make.

I am living with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the spine and can progressively cause severe pain, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. I am currently able to work and support my family, but keeping my condition under control is becoming financially overwhelming.

After evaluating my condition, my doctor has prescribed Adalimumab injections, one injection every 15 days for a year. Each injection costs approximately ₹10,000–₹12,000, making the yearly treatment extremely expensive.

I am the sole breadwinner of my family. My income goes toward running my home and taking care of my family’s needs, and I simply don’t have enough financial capacity to bear such a large medical expense on my own.

I am not asking for this treatment because I want an easier life. I am asking because I want to continue living the life I have worked hard to build.

I want to keep working.
I want to remain independent.
I want to continue supporting my family.
And most importantly, I don’t want my condition to progress to a point where my health prevents me from earning a living and taking care of the people who depend on me.

I have set a fundraising goal of ₹2,00,000 to help me afford my treatment and reduce the financial burden of these injections.

Even a contribution of ₹100, ₹200, ₹500, or whatever you can comfortably afford would mean a lot to me. If hundreds of people come together with small contributions, it can make a life-changing difference for someone like me.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, colleagues, or on social media. A share costs nothing, but it could help this reach someone who can.

I know there are many people asking for help, and I am genuinely grateful that you took the time to read my story.

I am not looking for sympathy. I am simply asking for a little help so I can continue standing on my own feet.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
