12-year-old Shivani is suffering from a Germ Cell Tumor of the Ovary

She’s too young to face this alone

Shivani Kumar Bhandwalkar, just 12 years old, has been diagnosed with a Germ Cell Tumor of the Ovary — a life-threatening condition requiring immediate treatment. She is currently under the care of specialists at Onco-Life Cancer Centre, where doctors have prescribed urgent chemotherapy, followed by surgery and continuous supportive care.

This includes multiple hospital admissions, medications, and advanced diagnostic testing throughout her recovery journey. Every day delayed increases the risk. Every step forward depends on financial help.

Estimated Cost: ₹3,00,000

The total cost of Shivani’s complete treatment is estimated at ₹3,00,000 — an amount far beyond the family’s means.

Family Background

Her father, Kumar Ramdas Bhandwalkar, is a daily wage laborer. Her mother, Poonam Kumari Bhandwalkar, is a homemaker. The family lives in Taluka Purandar, Veer, Pune, Maharashtra – 412312, and earns barely ₹40,000 annually.

They are struggling to afford even daily needs, let alone chemotherapy and surgery for their daughter. But they’re holding on to hope — and asking for your support.
