My name is Sudha Devi, and I am the mother of my 4-year-old son, Krishna. Today, I am writing this with tears in my eyes and hope in my heart, asking for your prayers and support for my little boy.

Krishna is just four years old, too young to understand the pain he is going through. He has been diagnosed with eye cancer, a disease no child should ever have to face. So far, he has already undergone two painful operations. Watching my small child being taken into the operation theatre again and again has been the most heartbreaking experience of my life. Yet, despite everything, he tries to smile and hold my hand tightly, trusting that his mother will make everything okay.

Doctors have now told us that Krishna needs one more major operation for his treatment to continue successfully. This surgery is very important for saving his life and giving him a chance to see a brighter future.

Our situation is very difficult. My husband is suffering from paralysis and is unable to work or support the family. As a mother, I am trying to manage everything alone — caring for my sick husband, taking Krishna to the hospital, arranging medicines, and somehow running the household. There are days when I feel completely broken, but when I look at my son’s innocent face, I gather strength again.

Krishna is our only hope and our entire world. He deserves to play, to laugh, to go to school, and to live a healthy childhood like other children. Instead, he is spending his early years in hospitals and operation rooms. As a mother, I feel helpless that I cannot give him the secure and happy life he deserves without the support of kind people.

I humbly request you to please keep my son in your prayers and extend your support in any way possible. Your kindness can become the reason for Krishna’s recovery and the light in our dark times.

From a mother’s broken yet hopeful heart, I thank you for taking the time to read our story and for standing with us in this difficult journey.
