This 4-month-old might not live to see his first birthday. You can save him.

While other babies his age are learning to move and play, little Ayush lies still. He has spinal muscular atrophy—a cruel disease that is slowly taking away his ability to move, cry, and even breathe. He wants to hold his mother’s hand, but all he can do is look at her. At any moment, he could lose his fight.

Ayush’s parents, Arjun and Kajal, only wished for a long, happy life for their son.

Kajal’s pregnancy and delivery were normal. But when Ayush was just 2 months old, his parents noticed something was wrong. He stopped moving his legs. He stopped crying. He would turn blue from pneumonia, and his parents rushed him to the hospital again and again, praying for a miracle.

After many tests, doctors told them the heartbreaking truth: Ayush has spinal muscular atrophy. This rare genetic disorder slowly paralyzes every muscle in the body—even those needed to swallow and breathe. Most babies with this disease don’t live to see their first birthday.

“The doctors said his mind is fine, but his body is giving up. Knowing he is aware of what’s happening, but can’t move or cry, breaks us every day,” says Kajal, his mother.

There is hope—but it comes at an impossible cost.

A single injection called Zolgensma can save Aayush’s life. It can stop the disease and give him a chance to grow up. But this life-saving medicine costs ₹16 crore.

Arjun, Ayush’s father, is an auto driver earning just ₹15,000 a month.

“I’ve borrowed from everyone I know. I work day and night, but it’s never enough. I can’t save my son alone. If he doesn’t make it, I’ll feel like I failed him as a father. Please, help me save my little boy. You are our only hope.”

Your support can give Ayush the gift of life. Please help.
