Aakriti Ale Magar is a 3 year old girl from Pokhara. She has been spent the last month in the Cancer Hospital in Barathpur after she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Her father works as a taxi driver in Pokhara. Her mother has no job, as she is currently looking after her daughter in the Cancer Hospital, sleeping in the corridors of the hospital. With only one income, the family cannot afford the expensive treatments required to fight against cancer.
Aakriti needs an intense treatment of chemotherapy and heavy medication during the next 36 months. She had spent her first month in the hospital. The treatment is especially intense (and expensive) during the first 6 months, where she will receive chemotherapy treatment. After that, Aakrita will be able to come back to Pokhara. But there are many steps still on her fight for life.
After those 6 months there is still a huge risk that the treatment will fail. Most families cannot afford the medication and continuous travels to Barathpur. After the chemotherapy is finished, most parents think their child is cured and stop the treatment due to the high cost.
