Abandoned, Sick, and Alone in Delhi — Let’s Help Apuronti Get Home Safely.

A heartfelt appeal from the Delhi Chakma Students' Union (DCSU).

A young Chakma girl, Apuronti Chakma, daughter of the late Shri Gamesh Chandra from BPS–II (Buiyobam), Mizoram, came to Delhi all by herself chasing a dream. Today, that dream has turned into a nightmare.

She has been hospitalized for over 12 days, battling typhoid, jaundice, and high fever — completely alone. The girl she shared a room with abandoned her on Day 1 and stopped responding to calls.

No friends. No family. No one to care.

By a miracle, a doctor treating her noticed the word “Chakma” in her records and reached out to us — the Delhi Chakma Students’ Union (DCSU) — via Instagram. That one message changed everything.
DCSU immediately stepped in, rushed to the hospital, and found her in a critical and emotional state. After contacting her family, we learned the painful truth — her father had passed away recently, and her mother is seriously unwell.

She had no support system. Until now.
Since then, we’ve done everything we could:
✔ Covered her hospital bills
✔ Stayed with her during recovery
✔ Provided emotional and physical support

But now we need your help.

We are unable to bear the cost of her travel tickets to send her back safely to Mizoram.

You Can Help Right Now
Any contribution — big or small — can help send Apuronti home. Let her know that she’s not alone, that we’re a community that cares.

DONATION DETAILS:
Account Holder: Susona Chakma (Finance Secretary, DCSU)
Account Number: 42055967084
Google Pay / PhonePe: 9862418085

Let’s come together — not just in words, but in action. Share. Support. Stand with Apuronti.
