???? The Child Behind the Fight

Meet Riya Raja, a bright, gentle 8-year-old girl who should be in school, chasing friends on a playground, and dreaming of an ordinary childhood. Instead, she spends her days in a hospital bed at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi — one of India's most respected centers for pediatrichematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplant — bravely enduring one of the toughest battles a child can face: cancer.

Riya has traveled with her family all the way from Tikamgarh, Madhya Pradesh, in search of the specialized, life-saving care that only a handful of hospitals in the country can offer. Through it all, her quiet courage has become the strength her family holds on to.

???? Understanding Riya's Diagnosis

Riya has been diagnosed with Medulloblastoma — an aggressive, fast-growing cancerous tumor that develops in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance, coordination, and movement. Left untreated, medulloblastoma can spread rapidly through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to other parts of the brain and spine, which is why immediate, uninterrupted, expert-led treatment is not optional — it is life-or-death.

Under the specialized care of Dr. Manas Kalra, Paediatric Hematology, Oncology & BMT, and Dr. Shikha Halder, Radiation Oncologist, Riya is currently undergoing an intensive, multi-week treatment protocol that includes:

Treatment Component

Purpose

Concurrent Chemo-Radiotherapy

Daily precision radiotherapy on the advanced Tomotherapy machine, combined with Carboplatin chemotherapy infusions

Supportive Medication

Anti-nausea therapy (Inj. Emset) to help Riya tolerate treatment

G-CSF Injections

Boosting white blood cell counts to protect her immunity through chemotherapy

Continuous Monitoring

Regular hepatic, renal, and blood profile testing to track her body's response

CSF Cytology Testing

Her most recent CSF test came back negative for malignant cells — a genuinely hopeful milestone in her treatment journey

This is a long, demanding, and closely monitored course of treatment — one that requires weeks of continuous hospital admissions, radiotherapy sessions, chemotherapy cycles, and specialist care, at a cost that grows heavier with every passing week.

???? A Family Holding On Through Uncertainty

Behind every hospital form and every treatment cycle is a family quietly running out of options. Riya's parents have left behind their home and support system to be by her side in Delhi, doing everything humanly possible to give their daughter a fighting chance. But the relentless, ongoing cost of chemo-radiotherapy, hospital stays, medicines, and diagnostics has pushed them far beyond what they can afford on their own.

Like so many families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis, they are not asking for anything more than the chance to keep fighting for their child — a chance that depends, in large part, on the generosity of strangers.

???? What Riya's Treatment Requires

Medulloblastoma treatment is among the most intensive and expensive pediatric cancer protocols, typically combining radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and extended hospital care over several weeks or months. Riya's treatment is ongoing right now, with repeated admissions for chemo-radiotherapy cycles still ahead of her.

[NGO to insert exact fundraising target based on the hospital's official cost estimate.]

Without sustained financial support, there is a real risk that her treatment could be delayed or interrupted — a risk no child fighting cancer should ever have to face.

???? Our Appeal to You

Save Life Trust appeals to every compassionate donor reading this: Riya's life is in a race against time, and your support can be the difference between hope and heartbreak. This is not charity in the abstract — it is a direct, tangible investment in one child's chance to live, heal, and grow up.

No contribution is too small. Every rupee brings Riya one step closer to completing her treatment and returning to the childhood that cancer has interrupted.

? Together, We Can Give Riya Her Childhood Back

Somewhere between a hospital corridor and a radiotherapy machine, an 8-year-old girl is fighting harder than most adults ever will. She cannot fight this battle alone — and she shouldn't have to.

Your generosity today can be the reason Riya smiles again tomorrow.

???? The Cost of Riya's Treatment

Medulloblastoma treatment is one of the most intensive and expensive pediatric cancer protocols in India, combining daily radiotherapy, chemotherapy infusions, supportive medication, and extended hospital stays over several weeks. According to Riya's family, the out-of-pocket cost of her ongoing treatment currently runs at approximately ?15,000 per day — covering hospital admission, Tomotherapy radiotherapy sessions, Carboplatin chemotherapy, supportive medicines, and daily monitoring tests.

Cost Component

Estimated Amount

Daily treatment cost (radiotherapy + chemotherapy + hospitalization, as reported by the family)

?15,000 / day

Current concurrent chemo-radiotherapy cycle (8 days, as per hospital treatment chart)

? ?1,20,000

Full radiotherapy course for medulloblastoma (typically 24–30 sessions)

[to be confirmed with hospital billing]

Post-treatment medicines (anti-nausea syrup, antibiotics, supportive care) per cycle

[to be confirmed with hospital billing]

For broader context, published pricing for radiation therapy in India varies enormously by technique and hospital — general estimates put per-session costs anywhere from a few thousand rupees up to a couple of lakh, with a full course of roughly 30 sessions commonly totaling in the low lakhs. Looking at complete treatment courses (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy together), industry cost data for pediatric brain tumors like medulloblastoma suggests a total treatment cost in the broad range of roughly ?12–24 lakh in India, depending on the hospital, technology used, and number of cycles required.

Riya's treatment is ongoing right now, with repeated hospital admissions for chemo-radiotherapy cycles still ahead of her. At the family's reported daily rate of ?15,000, every week of treatment adds over ?1 lakh to their bills — a burden far beyond what they can sustain alone.

[NGO to insert the exact fundraising target based on the hospital's official written cost estimate, once available.]

Without sustained financial support, there is a real risk that her treatment could be delayed or interrupted — a risk no child fighting cancer should ever have to face.

???? The Child Behind the Fight

Riya Raja, a bright 8-year-old, should be in school and playing with friends. Instead, she's fighting for her life at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, one of India's leading pediatric oncology centers. Her family traveled from Tikamgarh, Madhya Pradesh in search of the specialized care that could save her.

???? Her Diagnosis

Riya has been diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor that develops in the cerebellum and can spread through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — making immediate, uninterrupted treatment critical.

Under Dr. Manas Kalra (Paediatric Hematology, Oncology & BMT) and Dr. Shikha Halder (Radiation Oncologist), Riya is undergoing:

  • Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy — daily Tomotherapy radiation combined with Carboplatin chemotherapy
  • Anti-nausea medication and G-CSF injections (3x/week) to protect her immunity
  • Regular blood, liver, and kidney monitoring through each treatment cycle
  • CSF cytology testing — her latest result came back negative for malignant cells, a hopeful sign

???? A Family Running Out of Options

Riya's parents have left their home behind to stay by her side in Delhi. Like so many families facing childhood cancer, they're doing everything they can — but the relentless cost of chemo-radiotherapy, hospital stays, and medicines has gone far beyond what they can afford alone.

[NGO to add guardian name, occupation, and family income details here.]

???? The Cost of Treatment

Riya's family reports an out-of-pocket cost of approximately ?15,000 per day — covering hospitalization, Tomotherapy sessions, chemotherapy, medicines, and daily tests.

Cost Component

Estimate

Daily treatment cost (as reported by family)

?15,000/day

Current 8-day chemo-radiotherapy cycle

? ?1,20,000

Full radiotherapy course (typically 24–30 sessions)

[to confirm with hospital]

For context, published radiotherapy costs in India range widely — typically a few thousand rupees per session up to ?2+ lakh depending on technique, with full courses of ~30 sessions often totaling in the low lakhs. A complete medulloblastoma treatment course (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) is commonly estimated at roughly ?12–24 lakh in India.

At the family's rate, every week of treatment adds over ?1 lakh — a cost they cannot sustain alone.
