Just 14 months ago, the Patils were the picture of health and happiness, until Jyoti was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2017. Two months later, her husband Harish barely survived a heart attack. Then they learnt that their only child, four-year-old Mayank, had a rare and life-threatening liver condition, requiring an urgent transplant.

Despite the terrible odds, the family is not short of fighting spirit. What they have run out of, though, is money, to pay for the mounting medical bills. Harish, 35, and Jyoti, 29, had already wiped out their savings on her treatment and his heart surgery, not knowing they would need even more money to save their four-year-old son Mayank.
