Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,

My name is Bala Ankarla, and I'm reaching out to you with a heavy heart for my cousin, Charan. We never thought we'd have to share such painful news, but here we are, asking for your help during what has become the darkest chapter in our family's story. Our beloved Charan—a kind, caring, and innocent soul—suffered an unimaginable, violent ordeal in Houston, Texas. He was unfortunately shot multiple times during a robbery, an act of violence committed without any remorse, leaving him in critical condition. He's now in intensive care, fighting with all his might, but the injuries he sustained have left him paraplegic.

I've started this GoFundMe campaign because I want to do everything I can for Charan. Here's what your generosity will help with:

Emergency surgeries and ongoing hospital bills
Long-term rehabilitation and physical therapy
Necessary medical equipment like wheelchairs and mobility aids
Day-to-day living expenses as Charan focuses on nothing but getting better
Travel and accommodation expenses for his family to be close to him during these tough times

As we navigate through this nightmare, we're all doing our best to support Charan. The emotional, physical, and financial toll is overwhelming, and the road ahead is filled with challenges he should never have to face alone. Due to some limitations on Charan's bank account, I'll personally handle the funds and make sure every penny goes directly to him for his recovery and needs.

We're clinging to hope—hope that with your love, support, and the best medical care available, Charan can start to rebuild his life. This journey is uncertain, but one thing is clear: he won't be alone. We'll keep you updated on his condition and progress, and from the depths of our souls, we thank you. Your kindness, generosity, and love are not just appreciated; they are what's keeping us going during these trying times.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Each donation, share, and prayer means the world to Charan and to all of us standing by him.
