Mokshith Sai
Mokshith Sai received his last injection on the 31st January 2023. The Shalom team had the opportunity to walk with this family for two and half years.
Mokshith was diagnosed with Leukaemia at 7 months of age at Christian Medical College (CMC) Hospital, Vellore. He was started on chemotherapy and referred to Shalom Gotlam for monthly maintenance therapy. Shalom is just 27 kilometres from their home and therefore they could access services easily.
The parents brought Mokshith for monthly cycles of chemotherapy and for any sickness in between mandated additional visits which meant hospital stays for the family. It was a difficult path for a young family with limited resources. After a while, the father gave up on caring for this child. However, the mother did not. She persevered through the difficult phase with little support from her own parents. Dr Santhi along with the caring team of nurses and other staff went the extra mile with this family to see that the child not only completed the treatment successfully but also that the family was restored back to normal rhythm.
