Jainish Nakum’s life began with struggle when he was diagnosed with thalassemia major at just seven months old. What followed were years of hospital visits, blood transfusions, and constant care as his parents Jaman and Mital worked to keep him stable.
Amid this journey, the family welcomed their younger son, Drumil, bringing hope into their lives. However, a cure felt distant due to the cost and complexity of treatment, especially HLA testing required for a bone marrow transplant.
Their turning point came at a free HLA camp organised by Sankalp India Foundation, where they learned that Drumil was a perfect match for Jainish. With medical support, Jainish was stabilised and prepared for transplant.
Today, after a successful procedure and recovery, Jainish is healthy and free from thalassemia. His journey reflects resilience, timely support, and access to care that turned hope into reality.
