Mangaluru, Feb 19: Bhavyashree V Devadiga (19), daughter of Anand S Devadiga, resident of Kulai here, was like any other teenager immersed in studies and friends, until tuberculosis that struck her over a year ago changed her life.

Now, Bhavyashree, a first year degree student, is being treated with drugs. In December 2014, she suffered from jaundice. Medical tests at KMC Hospital in the city recently have concluded that her liver has suffered drug-induced injury.

Bhavyashree has been advised to continue with medications till she gets rid of the disease completely. Anand works in a small canteen at Thane, while Bhavyashree's mother is a housewife. The family has spent a huge amount so far on Bhavyashree's treatment, by borrowing from various sources, as it entirely depends on one man's income, and resides in a rented house.

The doctors expect that it will take not less than18 more months for the disease to completely subside. Anand is hard pressed for money and finds it impossible to pool enough to keep the treatment going. He wants to see his daughter regain full health, and now looks up to the large-heartedness of philanthropists. Having no other option to pool funds for his daughter's treatment, he has sought helping hands and requested financial aid from philanthropists.

Do help Bhavyashree lead a normal life once again and also please pray for her quick recovery. Contributions may be sent to her father's bank account given below:
