“Once you choose hope, anything is possible ” ~Christopher Reeve

There may be a thousand reasons why something will not work, but there will always be one reason to make it work. Just believe in that reason and don’t lose hope. Hope is the only thing that pushes you to dig deeper, find alternatives and never give up. It makes anything possible. 

Vaishnavi is one such soul fighting this hard battle at a very young age.  Vaishnavi, a 18 year old,  is suffering from Blood Cancer. She was admitted in Basavatarakam hospital, for treatment which costs approximately 16 Lakhs. The family financial condition cannot afford the cost for treatment. One of our regular donors brought this to our attention seeking help. With our volunteers’ help we are able to reach out to the family and hand over a check of Rs.20,000 to Vaishnavi’s father. We sincerely pray for Vaishnavi to gain that strength and courage to fight back the monsters cancer and with great hope wish for him to win this battle.

Keerthana, at the age of 4, unfortunately has to go through this painful process. She was suffering from blood cancer Aplastic anemia (when your body stops producing enough new blood cells. The condition leaves you fatigued and more prone to infections and uncontrolled bleeding)and was undergoing treatment in Niloufer hospital. They exhausted all the resources that have and are looking for some help from the donors. We came to know about Keerthana from one of our Ashvattha Volunteers and contacted the family. Team Ashvattha volunteers reached out to the family and donated a check of Rs.20,000/ for the treatment.
We believe her spirit is stronger than her Cancer. We wish and pray for Keerthana’s speedy recovery. Thank you Volunteers and Donors of Team Ashvattha for coming forward and helping her.

Khyati is a sweet little 6 month-old girl who has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 – a disease that affects kids and claims 95% of them before they turn 2 years of age.When Khyati was born her parents, Raman and Joshna, had tears of joy in their eyes. Childbirth is one of the most beautiful feelings of life. The bond children have with their parents is inexplicable. The doctors cut the umbilical cord of the child but the connection with the mother lasts for a lifetime.After Khyati turned 6 months of age, her parents couldn’t help but notice that she didn’t have any neck control and was not able to sit up on her own. They took her to the pediatrician who suggested waiting one more month to see if there were any improvements. However, when nothing changed even then, they were suggested to do some diagnostic tests. The doctor’s words when he announced the results to them still ring in their ears and haunt their lives.Khyati was suffering from a very very deadly and dangerous disease – SMA. In this, the gene responsible for the entire muscle function of the body is missing or severely defective. So the child keeps losing out on muscle functions until they eventually lose their life.Their hopes rose when they were told that not all was lost but it crashed even deeper when they were told that she will need the world’s most expensive drug.2.1 million USD is the ray of hope for Khyati, is something that a middle-class family can’t afford alone. Team Ashvattha donated Rs.35,000 to help with Khyati’s treatment.

We hope Khyati recovers soon to live a happy life with her family. Thank you donors and volunteers for your help!

Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.
― Saint Augustine



As stated in the quote, whatever is surplus, it should be shared with the people who are in need of it. 


Through one of the volunteers, Team Ashvattha received a request to help a boy, Master. Sappidi Yuvan, suffering from Cryptogenic Chronic Liver disease. In this kind of liver disease, scar tissue replaces soft, healthy liver tissue. As scar tissue builds up, the liver becomes hard and slowly cuts off blood circulation in the liver. This interferes with the liver’s many important functions, including the ability to process nutrients and filter toxins. In extreme cases,  like Yuvan’s, the liver stops working and the child will need a liver transplant. He needs this transplant as a life saving measure, at the earliest for the cure of his condition. 


Our volunteers visited the boy in Apollo hospital and donated a 25k check on behalf of Ashvattha for his ongoing treatment . We pray for Yuvan’s speedy recovery.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
It is not everyday we find meaning in the things we do and the things we own. Most of the time we find it in the happiness of others. And, Life gives us the purpose and sense of fulfillment when the happiness is due to an act of kindness from oneself. That fulfillment drives us to do much more to fill happiness in the world. That is what we at Ashvattha are always striving for. We appreciate all the support we are getting from you, in our journey.

Here is the story of Deepak and Jayashree trying to save their 9 months old baby boy Ranveer Singh. Ranveer was admitted to Nice Hospital under critical conditions with nasal bleeding, blood in stool, skin rashes and skin infection. The little one was monitored for manifestations of thrombocytopenia and bleeding. And, he needs a bone marrow transplantation. The treatment would cost more than Rs.15 Lakhs and the family is not in a financial situation to bear such expenses. They reached out to Ashvattha for help and one of our volunteers visited Deepak, the boy’s father, at the hospital to donate a check of Rs.25,000. It was heart-breaking to see the pictures of the baby in his father’s phone. Hard to imagine how the little one is surviving the treatment. All we can do is provide some moral support to the family and pray that the baby boy gains the strength to survive.

We hope Ranveer recovers soon to live a normal healthy life. Thank you donors and volunteers for your help!

“Keep putting one foot in front of the other. That’s all you need to do right now”
And that is how one can fight Cancer, the monstrous disease which frightens and weakens us. We just need to keep fighting with it each and every day and never give up to become a survivor. Team Ashvattha, supports the fighters and admires the survivors of Cancer. We are trying to be there for them and help them not give up their hope.

Here is another story of a woman suffering from Breast Cancer. Shashikala, 40 years-old, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and was admitted to KIMS. The diagnosis indicated a lobulated solid lesion outer quadrant of the right breast. As we are all aware that treating any form of cancer costs a huge deal. Also, it is exhausting both physically and emotionally. Team Ashvattha reached out to Shashikala’s brother Nagababu and handed over a check of Rs.30,000 for the chemotherapy and the treatment.

We hope and pray Shashikala gains the strength to fight this monstrous disease. Thank you donors and volunteers for your help!

“We rise by lifting others” ~ Robert Ingersoll

Never underestimate the difference you can make in others lives. Team Ashvattha is always willing to take a step forward, reach out to someone that needs a lift. And, we are proud to have volunteers and donors who help us achieve those goals.

This is one more request from our volunteer to help a young man, Naveen, from Khammam who met with an accident. He fell off the bike trying to avoid hitting a dog. Unfortunately, the accident caused severe head and spinal cord injuries. The doctors said the situation was critical and he also could have a blood clot in his head. The 24-year was working at a printing press to feed his family. He or his family was not in a position to bear the expenses of the treatment. Our volunteers went all the way to Khammam and handed over a check of Rs.20,000 to the family. 


We hope he recovers soon to take care of himself and the family. Thank you donors and volunteers for your help!

Never underestimate the difference you can make in others lives. Team Ashvattha is always willing to take a step forward, reach out to someone that needs a lift. And, we are proud to have volunteers and donors who help us achieve those goals.

Here is a request that Ashvattha acted upon to give that lift and make that small difference in the lives of others. 

We got a request from Subramanyam who is the father of an 8-year-old daughter Shena Sameera. She was diagnosed with Wilson’s Disease where her liver was decomposed and she had to undergo a Liver Transplant Surgery. She was admitted to Rainbow Children’s Hospital and the treatment cost about Rs. 18 lakhs.  Subramanyam is a farmer and the family couldn’t afford such a huge amount for treatment. Back in 2015, his elder daughter suffered from the same disease where he spent all the money he had but, unfortunately, couldn’t save her. Now, he is going through that pain all over again with his second daughter and reached out to Ashvattha for help. A volunteer from Team Ashvattha reached out to the family and donated a check of Rs.20,000 for the treatment.

We hope Sameera recovers soon and the family is happy again. Thank you donors and volunteers for your help!
