Subramanya is only nine years old. He has already lost his mother, and today, he is facing another difficult battle, one that has kept him in a hospital in Bengaluru and separated him from the ordinary childhood he deserves.

Subramanya is critically ill. He has atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (AHUS), which is a rare condition, and needs continued dialysis for his kidneys and liver. Every 15 days, he needs to undergo dialysis as part of his ongoing treatment. His father stays beside him at the hospital, doing everything he can to make sure his son receives the care he needs.

But the family is struggling to keep up.

Subramanya’s father works as a waiter in a restaurant. His job is far from Bengaluru, and with his son undergoing treatment, he has not been able to work for some time. Without a regular income, managing the costs of prolonged treatment has become an enormous challenge.

“My wife has passed away. We are struggling a lot,” he says.

Doctors have also told the family that Subramanya is likely to keep getting infections because his white blood cell count is very low. For his father, every day brings another worry: his son’s health, the next dialysis session, and how they will manage the expenses required to continue his treatment.

While other nine-year-olds may be thinking about school, friends, games, and what they want to be when they grow up, Subramanya’s days revolve around hospital stays and medical care.

His father has already endured the loss of his wife. Now, he is trying to protect his son through an uncertain and difficult medical journey, even as he is unable to earn a living.
