He says it is a sum beyond his family’s financial means.

Chand is reaching out to family, friends and the wider community, hoping for support in his time of need.

He says any contribution, big or small, will help him move closer to the treatment.

Donations can be made through MPAiSA 9719680 or BSP Bank Account 86791659.

Chand and his family say they express heartfelt gratitude to all who offer their support during this difficult time.
