“We have watched our son grow up fighting an illness he never chose. Seeing him in the ICU breaks us, but we still believe he can get better. He is brave, stronger than we ever imagined. All we want is to see him healthy and smiling again.”
Twelve-year-old Mayank Patil from Pune, Maharashtra, has spent much of his young life in and out of hospitals, growing up far too familiar with needles, blood transfusions, and long days of waiting. Diagnosed with Thalassemia Major shortly after birth, Mayank’s condition was first noticed when his parents saw his face turn unusually pale. Medical tests soon confirmed their fears, marking the beginning of a long and exhausting journey.
