**Update to the Community:** To everyone who saw my post last time—thank you. Because of your incredible help, we have raised 40% of my goal. I am posting this again to reach those who missed it, as time is ticking and I am still fighting to reach the final goal for my surgery.

Hi. My name is Avi. I am 17 years old, from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.

When I was 13, I was diagnosed with **aplastic anemia**, a rare blood disorder in which the body stops producing enough blood cells. I was treated by Dr. Neeta Radhakrishnan at PGICH Noida. My life changed from being a normal school student to someone dependent on frequent blood transfusions and lifelong medication like Cyclosporine just to survive.

I slowly adjusted to that reality. Then, in **September 2024**, everything changed again.

I met with a severe road accident that:

* Shattered my right thigh bone (femur)
* Fractured my right shin (tibia)
* Broke my left arm (humerus)

Because of my blood condition, normal surgery was extremely risky due to uncontrolled bleeding. We returned to PGICH Noida, where Dr. Ankur Agarwal used external fixators — metal rods placed outside my body to stabilize the bones.

**It has been over a year.** In April 2025, when the leg fixator was removed, the bone snapped again. We later tried a corrective surgery at St. Stephen’s Hospital in July 2025, but the procedure had to be stopped midway because I began bleeding heavily.

My bones still have not healed properly. I am completely bedridden.

I attend Class 11 from bed. I prepare for exams from bed. I watch my classmates move forward while I remain in the same room, under the same ceiling, every single day. Recently, I also tested positive for Hepatitis C, likely due to the multiple blood transfusions over the past few years.

My father is a farmer, and managing three serious medical conditions at the same time has completely financially exhausted my family.

Our current recommendation is a highly specialized corrective surgery at **Indraprastha Apollo Hospital**. They have the facilities to manage my bone reconstruction without letting me bleed out. However, the cost is beyond what we can afford on our own.

I want to make one thing clear: **I am not writing this for sympathy.** I want to walk again. I want to complete my 11th grade properly. I want a life that is not defined by hospital visits and medical reports.

I have started a verified fundraiser to cover the surgery, ongoing treatment, and recovery expenses. If you are in a position to help — even a small contribution moves me closer to standing on my own feet again. If donating is not possible, simply upvoting or commenting on this post increases its reach and gives me a better chance.

Thank you for reading this far and for the massive support you have already shown. Truly.

*(Mods: If this post isn’t allowed, I sincerely apologize and understand—I’m just trying every honest way I can to get the help I need.)*

*P.S. English isn't my first language, so I used writing assistance to help fix the grammar and structure my thoughts clearly.*

i'm 17 and I’ve spent another week staring at my bedroom ceiling, with my leg bone shattered .
