Anjali is 12 years old and hails from Aurangabad, Maharashtra. She was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and was treated at a hospital in Borivali, Mumbai.
Challenges
The family had no clue about childhood cancer and it was shocking and astonishing for the family to accept that their child was diagnosed with cancer. They also faced financial difficulties and so had to take loans from relatives and close people for the child’s treatment. Anjali has a brother who had to stay with their grandparents. Furthermore, the family did not have any acquaintances in Mumbai and it was very difficult for the family to manage shelter, food, and treatment all together when they first reached Mumbai.
