THE BACKGROUND:
Manoj Kumar, a 30-year-old sports enthusiast and coach at the Adventure Athletic Academy in Kanakpura, had his life dramatically altered after being involved in a life-threatening accident. As a role model for numerous young individuals, he had been instrumental in nurturing their aspirations and uplifting them through his coaching.

On the 2nd of February 2023, while riding his two-wheeler near Kirguvula, Mysore, Manoj encountered a skid and suffered a severe fall. He was diagnosed with cerebral edema and traumatic brain injury. In addition to these grave injuries, Manoj began experiencing persistent fever spikes, quadriplegia (paralysis in all four limbs), and spasticity throughout his body.

To help with Manoj’s recovery, He needs an insertion of an intrathecal baclofen pump which will help resolve his quadriplegia and spasticity in all four limbs. This implantable device would deliver medication directly to his spinal cord, reducing muscle spasticity and promoting greater motor control.
He also needs intensive neuro-rehabilitation to optimize his functional recovery. Additionally, given the severity of Manoj's condition, continued hospitalization and close monitoring are very essential.

ABOUT ME:
My name is CHIRAG GANDHI, and as a concerned citizen, I am doing this initiative to save the life of Mr. Manoj Kumar.
Manoj, a 30-year-old sports enthusiast, and coach, recently experienced a life-altering accident that left him with severe injuries, including diffuse cerebral edema and traumatic brain injury. Tragically, his parents, a bus driver, and a housewife, cannot bear the financial burden of his hospitalization and treatment.
I firmly believe that access to healthcare is a fundamental human right that should not be limited to those who can afford it. Through this campaign, we can make a profound difference in Manoj's life and restore hope to his family. By contributing to this cause, you hold the power to save a life.
I humbly request your support in this noble endeavor as we work together to save the life of this young man. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact.
I sincerely request you to support me in this endeavour. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and empower them to face the future with renewed strength and optimism.
