About Sangamesh

Sangamesh Simpi, a SSLC student, is an ambitious and talented 15 year old boy residing in a remote village in Bijapur. Sangamesh is an exceptional student. Despite his illness, which rendered him unable to walk to school, Sangamesh remains determined to overcome the odds to resume and flourish in his studies. Sangamesh aspires to be a successful engineer and is working hard to achieve his dreams and goals. One can see the immense potential he possesses. He is a boy of many talents and interests. Sangamesh is a learner. He spends dedicated time studying and reading books and newspapers. When he is not poring over books, he takes delight in playing football and cricket at school.

Sangamesh comes from a caring family. His father, an electrician, is the sole earning member in the family. His mother is a house-wife and his younger brother is in the 6th standard. His parents praise his responsible nature and consider him the glue that keeps the family together. Armed with a thoughtful nature, Sangamesh has pledged to pay his way through higher education to reduce the financial burden on his parents.

Medical Details

In early September 2022, Sangamesh complained of a sharp pain and noticed swelling in his left knee. Troubled by the pain, his parents took him to a nearby physician for a check-up. Unable to determine the root cause of the pain and swelling, the physician promptly referred Sangamesh to a more capable doctor in the district. What came next was completely unexpected. The FNAC cancer test conducted at Dr. Karigoudar Diagnostic Laboratory revealed that Sangamesh is suffering from Osteogenic Sarcoma of the upper left Tibia, a deadly form of musculoskeletal cancer. To say the least, Sangamesh and his family were heart-broken and left with many tears to bear. With depleting psychological strength and hope his family had left, they transported Sangamesh to HCG Hospital Bangalore to Consult Dr. Shekar Patil. This began his arduous journey of medical treatment.

Financial Details

The estimated cost of three cycles of chemotherapy and surgery is INR 9,45,000. With great difficulty, his family has managed to raise INR 1,00,000 to pay for his treatment. Due to their insufficient financial resources, they are all out of options. The family has turned to the HCG Foundation for assistance.

Required Aid

Sangamesh requires a further INR 8,45,000/- for his entire treatment, which includes chemotherapy and surgery.

Total Fundraising Goal: INR 8,45,000/-
