“I’ve seen her endure so much pain, yet she never complains. She deserves a chance to live without suffering.”-Shubham (son)

In January 2023, everything changed.

My mother, Suman, started having trouble breathing. At first, we thought it was something mild, something treatable. We took her to AIIA, Delhi, clinging to the hope that medicines would fix it. But with every passing week, she only got worse. I watched her go from walking around the house to barely making it across the room without gasping for air.

Then came the diagnosis: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). I remember the doctor’s voice fading as he explained that it’s progressive. All I could hear was, “Your mother’s lungs are turning to stone.”

We immediately shifted her to AIIMS Delhi, placing all our faith in the best minds, hoping for a miracle. Since then, we’ve done everything, every prescription, every test, every sleepless night by her side. We’ve rushed her to the emergency room five times when she could no longer breathe on her own. No child should have to watch their mother fight for every single breath.

She’s been on very strong immunosuppressants for a long time now. Alongside that, anti-fibrosis medications, multiple multivitamins, nebulization, inhaler pumps, and oxygen therapy have become part of her daily routine. We’ve tried everything humanly possible to slow the disease.

But ILD doesn’t stop.

Despite all treatment, the disease has progressed aggressively. 80% of her lungs are now permanently damaged. She’s down to just 15% lung function. And every day, I watch her slowly fade, pretending she’s fine, while her body struggles silently.

We’re at the edge now. There’s only one last hope left, and that is an urgent lung transplant. It’s the only thing that can save her life.

What is Interstitial Lung Disease?

• ILD is a group of lung disorders that cause inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue.
• It makes breathing difficult by stiffening the lungs, reducing their ability to expand.
• Symptoms include breathlessness, dry cough, and fatigue, especially during physical activity.
• It is progressive and often irreversible, meaning it worsens over time.
• Causes can include autoimmune diseases, exposure to toxins, or unknown reasons (idiopathic).

Please save my mother!

Mummy is the strongest woman I know, enduring immense pain at the age of 42, holding on with unshakable courage, just to live life with her family, to watch everyone grow, to see her sons get married, to travel more, explore more, and most of all, to finish raising her boys and be their mom fully, the way she’s always dreamed.

The cost of her lung transplant is overwhelming, amounting to several lakhs.

My family and I have done everything we can to arrange the funds needed for my mother's treatment, but we are falling short.

You could be the reason my mother gets a second chance at life.
