Twelve-year-old Shubhangi Sharma, a resident of Rohini, Delhi, should be spending her days attending school, playing with friends, and dreaming about a bright future. Instead, she is fighting a painful orthopedic condition that is slowly affecting her ability to walk.
Shubhangi is the only child of her parents. Until nearly two years ago, she was a healthy, cheerful, and active child. Her family was living a simple but happy life, and everything seemed to be going well. However, over time, her parents noticed that the structure of her legs was gradually changing. Walking became difficult, standing for long periods became painful, and with each passing day, her condition continued to worsen.
Deeply concerned, her parents consulted several doctors before being referred to an orthopedic specialist. They later consulted Dr. Govind Vallabh Joshi, Orthopedic Specialist at Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, New Delhi, where Shubhangi was diagnosed with Bilateral Genu Varum (Bow Legs). After a thorough evaluation, the doctors recommended that she undergo Bilateral Epiphysiodesis Surgery at the earliest. According to the medical team, timely treatment is important to prevent the deformity from progressing further and to reduce the risk of long-term damage to her knees and mobility. The estimated cost of the surgery and associated treatment is ₹3,03,400, an amount far beyond what her family can arrange on their own.
While Shubhangi is courageously fighting her medical condition, her family is facing an equally difficult financial battle. Her mother is a housewife, and her father is currently unemployed. Despite continuously trying to find work, he has been unable to secure stable employment due to his advancing age. With no regular source of income and no financial backup, arranging such a major surgery has become almost impossible for the family.
Despite all these challenges, Shubhangi has not stopped dreaming. She wants to continue her education, build a successful future, and one day support her parents, who have always stood by her through every hardship. Her innocent smile still carries hope, but today, that hope needs the support of compassionate people like you.
Your contribution—big or small—can help Shubhangi receive the surgery she urgently needs and give her the opportunity to walk towards a healthier, brighter future.
Together, let's help Shubhangi take her next step with confidence.
