Why this campaign matters
Dear Friends, Well-Wishers, and Supporters,
I am reaching out to you as a desperate uncle fighting against time. My name is Muralidhar Badwaik, and I am organizing this campaign on behalf of our family to raise urgent medical funds for my 2-year-old niece, Shreenika Rohit Makde.
🏥 The Medical Diagnosis
For the first year of her life, Shreenika was a joyful, energetic child who met her initial motor milestones normally. However, shortly after her first birthday, we began noticing delays in her movements. Following comprehensive diagnostic tests and genetic analysis at AIIMS Nagpur and B.Y.L. Nair Hospital in Mumbai, she was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2 (homozygous deletion of exon 7 & exon 8 in the SMN1 gene).
SMA is a rare, severe neurological disorder in which the body lacks the functional SMN1 gene necessary for motor neurons. Without intervention, her muscles continue to weaken over time—making basic physical movements like sitting unsupported, standing, crawling, or even breathing increasingly difficult.
💉 The Treatment & Target Medical Cost
Treating pediatric neurologists have prescribed AVXS-101 / Zolgensma (Onasemnogene abeparvovec)—a revolutionary, one-time gene therapy injection that targets the genetic root cause of SMA. Because this life-saving medicine is not manufactured in India, it must be imported directly from abroad.
Patient Name Shreenika Rohit Makde (Age: 2Y 8M) Patient Location Nagpur, Maharashtra Campaign Organizer Muralidhar Badwaik (Uncle) Diagnosis Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2 TOTAL REQUIRED CAMPAIGN COST ₹10,00,00,000/-(Ten Crore Rupees for Zolgensma Gene Therapy & Medical Care)
🤝 Why We Need Your Help
Shreenika’s father runs a modest shop and is the sole income provider for the entire household. Generating a sum as large as ₹10 Crores is completely impossible for a single family. Time is crucial because gene therapy provides the maximum benefit when administered as early as possible while muscle function can still be saved.
Every single contribution—no matter the size—brings our little girl closer to receiving her life-saving dose. If you cannot contribute financially, sharing this page with your friends, family, and community networks will help us reach people who can.
✨ Please Keep Shreenika In Your Thoughts & Prayers! Thank You For Your Generosity! 🙏
