I AM ADVIKA

I AM ADVIKA. ADVIKA BHATTARAI.

I am a two-year old from Kathmandu, Nepal.
I love to laugh and play, when I can. Which is not often. Because I need a complete blood transfusion every 3 weeks.
Yes. Every 3 weeks. EVERY 3 weeks.
Which is why I cannot play and run around like most other children you have come across.
WHY?
About a year ago I was diagnosed with Beta Thalassemia Major. I need a complete bone marrow transplant very soon. Or…
My parents have raised all they could, friends and family have helped as much as possible. But they still do not have enough for the transplant.
Now, it’s ON YOU.
I NEED YOU, TO BE ABLE TO SEE MY NEXT BIRTHDAY in JULY.
CAN YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN?

Here’s me on a good day. You can give me so many more.
