Milan worked with a construction company. The first lockdown made it really difficult for him to survive. At the same time, the health of his younger son started going south and then deteriorating. Milan consulted multiple hospitals for his treatment. The doctors suspect that his son may have blood cancer. ‘I don’t have the money for his treatment’, Milan said in helplessness.

‘Two people had contacted me to inquire about the kidney, but the blood group didn’t match. So, our conversation couldn't come to a monetary conclusion’, he mentions.

There is no money for my child’s treatment. I can make a video and make it public, but I have not done it for the sake of respect, because my parents are already very upset because of me.’ He said in anguish.
