Sahithi's father has long been the quiet backbone of his family, working as a car driver and serving as its primary earner. That changed when a blood clot in a vein carrying blood from his intestine cut off circulation to part of his small intestine. The condition was serious enough that doctors advised immediate surgery.
So Sahithi did what it took. She borrowed heavily and leaned on everyone she could to get her father into surgery in time. That surgery has since been completed successfully, and he has been discharged home.
But the relief comes with a cost Sahithi is still carrying alone. The ₹5,25,000 spent on his surgery, hospitalization, and related care was borrowed money, and it is still owed to the people who lent it to her. His recovery isn't finished either - doctors have advised continued monitoring, medication, and care, which is expected to cost around ₹40,000 every month during this period.
Sahithi began her career only about a year ago, and she is her family's sole earner. Between repaying what she borrowed and funding her father's ongoing recovery, the financial weight on her has only grown since the surgery — even as the most frightening part is now behind them.

Sahithi's father has always been the one holding the family up - not just emotionally, but financially. Sahithi herself began her professional career only about a year ago and is still early in the process of becoming financially independent. With her father now unable to work and the family's primary income suddenly gone, she has become the sole financial support for her household at the same time that she is facing medical expenses running into several lakhs of rupees.
It is an enormous amount for any young professional to carry alone. That is why Sahithi is reaching out beyond her immediate family - to her colleagues at Nirmaan, her friends, and well-wishers - in the hope that collective support can do what one income cannot: give her father the surgery and the recovery care he needs, without delay.
Surgery is done. Recovery is ongoing.
Continued monitoring, medication, and care are needed for his full recovery - expected to cost around ₹40,000 every month.
The amounts below reflect what has already been borrowed and spent to get Sahithi's father through surgery, plus what his continued recovery is expected to cost.
