Help Partha fight MSA (Multiple System Atrophy)

Multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare degenerative neurological disorder that leads to progressive dysfunction of muscular movements of the human body. People with MSA ultimately end up restricted to bed or in a vegetative state. They develop pneumonia and may suddenly die from cardiac or respiratory issues. 

Partha Sarkar, a resident of Ghaziabad, India is an exemplary soul with a lively and energetic persona. He is a friend, a husband, a son, a brother and a father of a teenager. Everyone around him has known him to always be up for a road trip. His passion for driving and discovering new and difficult terrains in remote corners in his spare moments gave him many happy hours. He was struck by this disease nearly three years ago, which has not only stopped him from doing what he loves the most, he also lost his earning soon after this.

His wife, Archana Sarkar has been the caregiver ever since. Partha has showed nothing but strength and courage right until the last few months where his condition deteriorated rapidly. He has been in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and on ventilator since the last two months. He's holding out, hoping that maybe there's someone who might find a cure for this however at present, no research proven to find a cure.

 

This unfortunate and tragic happening has brought a substantial financial strain on the family due to regular hospitalization and maintaining a home ICU, with heaps of medical expenses. Though the family is trying to hold the fort, it is clear that the family needs immediate external support. 

When someone is struck with this terrible disease, one will miss the person they used to be, because not only does this disease damage the motor functioning, involuntary movements, in advanced stages affects all organs like heart, lungs and eventually it kills the essence of what it truly means to be alive.

While nothing can fill the emotional turmoil the family is going through, we, as his well-wishers, are raising this fund to show our love to Partha in a small way. We are seeking your support, love and blessings for his family to tide through these difficult times. Your contribution, small or big, will immensely help!
