A Small Family’s Big Fight — Appeal to Save Tista’s Life
My wife Kuhali Samanta (Tista) is only 33 years old. She has recently been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a severe form of blood cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment at Tata Medical Center.
Doctors have advised that an urgent Bone Marrow Transplant is the only life-saving option. According to the hospital’s initial estimate, the total cost of the treatment is approximately ₹50 lakh.
For a simple middle-class family like ours, this amount is almost impossible to arrange. Yet we have started this fight with hope, because this is not only a fight for treatment — it is a fight to save a life and protect a family’s future.
How we are trying to arrange the funds
Possible support through hospital applications:
• Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund – approx ₹3 lakh (awaiting approval)
• Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, West Bengal – ₹1 lakh (sanctioned)
• Tata Trusts – approx ₹4 lakh
➡️ Total expected support: ₹8 lakh
Family Contribution
My late father’s small savings and the support of our relatives — brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and family members — are being gathered with great effort.
➡️ We are trying to arrange around ₹12 lakh from family support.
Public Donations Received
From 26 February to 14 March, with the love and kindness of so many people, we have received about
➡️ ₹5.50 lakh
We are deeply grateful for every small contribution.
Amount Still Needed
Estimated treatment cost: ₹50 lakh
Total arranged / expected so far: ₹25.5 lakh
➡️ Still required: around ₹25 lakh
We are reaching out to various trusts, organizations and kind people for help. I do not know how much we will manage, but we will not stop fighting.
Because this fight is not only about money — it is about saving a human life.
🙏 Humble Request
If possible, please contribute any small amount or share this appeal so that it reaches more people.
Your small kindness may become the hope that saves Tista’s life.
