Like every other girl her age, Tanishka Kadam led a normal life. But after January 26, all this changed when she was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia. Their parents were waiting for her older sister's SSC exam to get over, so that she could donate bone marrow to her.

But two weeks ago, Tanishka, 10, collapsed with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and has since been admitted to the intensive critical care unit (ICCU) of LTMG Hospital in a comatose state. While the internal bleeding has stopped, there is a swelling in her brain and she continues to be critical.
