“Her Feet Once Told Stories. Now Even Lifting Her Hand Brings Pain.”
Help This Kathak Teacher Fight Cancer & Dance Again
🎥 Watch Her Story Unfold
✅ Pooja Journey So Far
1. A Life Full of Grace and Rhythm
Pooja was a Kathak teacher whose graceful movements brought joy to countless children. She was known for her warm smile and her dedication to her students. Dance was not just her profession — it was her identity, her passion, her peace.
2. The Diagnosis That Shattered Everything
A few months ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a sudden blow, and it shook the family to its core. Still, she chose to fight — drawing strength from her husband Gaurav and their young child.
3. Chemotherapy, Pain & Loss of Strength
She has completed two rounds of chemotherapy. But the toll has been devastating. Pooja now lies in bed, too weak to sit up or eat properly. Hair loss, unbearable pain, nausea, and sleepless nights have drained her completely.
4. A Family on the Brink
Gaurav is doing everything he can. He manages the home, cares for their child, supports Pooja emotionally — all while watching the woman he loves fade in front of him. Their insurance is exhausted. Every rupee in savings is gone. And yet, surgery and 11 more cycles of treatment remain. The cost: ₹14 lakh.
5. Her Only Wish
The hands that once formed beautiful mudras now tremble. The feet that once moved with grace now struggle to walk. But she still smiles for her children, hides her fear, and holds on to hope — hope that with your help, she can recover and return to the life she loved.
