Anitha is a 15 year-old girl who loves school and wants to become a math professor when she grows up. She is known as a hard working student and likes to study. Recently, she passed her standard 7 exams and was admitted to continue her secondary education.
As a result of trauma, Anitha has severe arthritis in her left big toe. Despite intense pain, Anitha walks to school every day. However, her arthritis has become particularly painful as of late, rendering her immobile.
Anitha’s parents have taken her to several hospitals in search of help, but have not found any success. With limited resources, they cannot afford further treatment. Anitha needs surgery soon or risks being unable to walk and be away from school for the foreseeable future.
Let’s work together to raise $500 for Anitha’s surgery and get her back into the classroom!
