Father Saved His 6-Year Old Daughter Once By Donating His Liver, But Now Struggles To Save Her Again
Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.
6-year old Ritika’s abdomen swelled so drastically that strangers stared.
“She is 6…but her stomach looked like a pregnant woman. People in the hospital whispered, ‘How can a child’s belly be this big?’ I wish I could tell them how a rare Wilson’s Disease is eating her liver alive?” - Tutan, father
The doctors said only one thing could save her and they got that but still she is critical
Doctors suspected jaundice. Weeks passed and her condition worsened. And then a month later came the diagnosis of Wilson’s Disease, a rare genetic disorder that floods the liver with copper until the organ collapses.Ritika could only be saved with a liver transplant.
In January 2025, when Ritika received her transplant, everyone believed the worst was behind them
The cost of surgery, hospitalization and medicines went up to Rs.15-20 lakhs. Tutan sold their small house, jewellery and emptied every saving. Even borrowed money with interest that would take a lifetime to repay.
“They asked who the donor would be. I didn’t even blink. I told the doctors, ‘If my liver can save her, take all of it. Take whatever you need. But don’t take my only child away from me.’” - Tutan, father
But the tragedy still wasn’t over.
Without treatment, her transplanted liver, the piece of her father inside her, may fail
After donating part of his liver, he needs medical tests for his own health, but he refuses to spend a single rupee on himself.
“What’s the point of healing myself if I lose her? She is my life.” - Tutan, father
He was fired from his job at a grocery store that at least gave him Rs.10,000 monthly because he kept taking leaves to be beside his only daughter’s hospital bed.
They are now penniless, exhausted and terrified. The battle has one last number of Rs.6 lakhs to keep Ritika alive with infection control, medicines and hospitalization.
After losing his job, this father just wants to return the childhood his girl deserves
Please help Ritika fight. Your donation can keep her alive.
