| Fifteen month-old Anvi needs a life-saving bone marrow transplant, but her parents, Ruchita and Rupesh Pednekar, are struggling to put together the 15 lakh required for the procedure. This, after the couple from Kandivali already lost their first daughter, 18 month-old Sanika, in 2008.
At the time, they combined all their savings and even took a loan to treat her for Bilateral Urethral Reflux (she would pass blood in urine) but she could not be saved and died on March 13, 2008. The shock of that loss meant that 31 year-old Ruchita, who was three months pregnant, miscarried. Today, the couple owe Rs. 5 lakh to various people, but are in no position to repay them as they are hoping for a miracle to save their third child.
Ruchita and 36 year-old Rupesh had a love marriage in 2003. When faced with the ordeal of saving Sanika's life, Ruchita gave up her job as a team leader in a private company and her husband Rupesh, who was working in the same company, took up freelance marketing work
Sanika underwent nine surgeries within 10 months of her birth and was hardly ever brought home. Ruchita says, "I was three months pregnant when I was informed that Sanika passed away and I went into shock. Two days later, I had a miscarriage. In addition to the grief, we were finding it difficult to convince lenders who would visit asking us to repay their money."
Once bitten twice shy when Ruchita got pregnant with Anvi in 2007, she took good care of herself and underwent all tests as advised by her gynecologists as hers was a high risk pregnancy. Anvi was born on June 26, 2011. However, tragedy struck once again when Anvi, at three months, was diagnosed with Myelofibrosis (disorder of bone marrow).
