Help Rishi recover from Traumatic brain injury

Donation protected
It is an extremely sad and devastating time for Jindal family, their 20 year old son Rishi is dealing with a traumatic brain injury that he sustained due to an unfortunate road accident on October 28, 2020. He was hit by a vehicle while he was on the roadside near his hometown in Uttarakhand, India. and has been in coma since then. Neurologists treating him say that he has a good chance to recover completely owing to his young age, but he has a long road to recovery. This 20 year old child had big dreams and was very excited about cracking the JEE exam and joining an esteemed and highly competitive engineering college in New Delhi within three days of his accident but fate had a very difficult course planned for him and now he is struggling for his life while being on life support. Currently, he is in an ICU care in a hospital in New Delhi. He had been on a ventilator for over a month but as a positive sign of recovery he has been taken off the ventilator. He is still tracheostomized and is feeding with a PEG tube. He has been fighting off multiple infections and complications due to the diffuse brain injury.

His father runs a shop in a remote area in Uttarakhand, India and mother is a home maker. They have used all their savings and over all the family has spent over Rs 75 Lakh ($ 102,000 approx.) and expenses are mounting every passing day with an everyday expenditure of Rs 1.5 Lakh ($2000 approx.) Rishi’s full recovery may take up to a year with a few interventional procedures needed and a long  institutional rehabilitation to recover from the brain injury.

Rishi’s family is heart-broken and is requesting financial support to help with the unsurmountable expenses for his intensive treatment. Please help Rishi’s family to provide him the medical treatment that he needs to come back to his family and stand a chance at a good life. My name is Shilpa Agrawal and I am Rishi’s mom’s sister. As his family, we have created this fundraiser to continue his treatment.The funds raised through this fundraiser will be 100% used for his ongoing and upcoming treatments and medical procedures. These funds will help Rishi get the much needed therapies and rehabilitation that he will imminently need.

The money will be transferred to Rishi's mom Surekha's account in India via wire transfer. The funds raised will help to continue with the ongoing treatment.


Your prayers and financial support bring a lot of hope to this family that is suffering immensely for no fault of their own.

Thank you for your generosity
