A Heartfelt Appeal from Angelina Samuel for Stephi’s Treatment

Latest Update:
Online Collection (as on 10/06/26) - Rs.4,91,017
Karunya Charges (5%) - Bank Gateway & Admin - Rs.24,551
Payments to Hospital/Pharmacy so far - Rs.1,56,989
Balance with Karunya - Rs.3,09,477

I, Angelina Samuel, aged 22 years, am writing this appeal on behalf of my sister, Stephi Samuel , who is currently battling a severe bloodstream infection, Hepatitis C, and extensive nerve, tissue, and muscle damage in her left hand. While her initial hospitalization has been managed, we are now seeking financial support for her ongoing and critical medical treatment.
Stephi’s condition requires long-term care and multiple medical procedures. The infection spread rapidly through her bloodstream, causing severe damage to her left hand, while Hepatitis C has also affected her liver function. Her doctors have advised the following urgent treatments in the coming months:

* Skin Grafting Surgery – Due to the extensive tissue damage, Stephi urgently requires skin grafting surgery to restore the affected areas of her hand and prevent further deterioration.
* Hepatitis C Treatment – She also requires continued treatment and monitoring for Hepatitis C and related liver complications.
* Physiotherapy & Post-Surgical Care – Long-term rehabilitation, physiotherapy, consultations, medications, and follow-up care will be essential for her recovery.

The estimated cost for her treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and medical care is expected to exceed ₹5,50,000.
Our family is currently going through severe financial hardship and does not have a stable source of income. We have already borrowed ₹50,000 from my mother’s tuition parents to support the treatment expenses. Through the previous social media fundraiser by friends and family, we have raised ~₹5.26 Lakh so far, out of which ₹4.5 Lakh has already been utilized towards her medical treatment.
In this difficult time, we humbly appeal for your support. Any contribution, big or small, will help Stephi continue her treatment and move closer towards recovery. Your kindness and generosity will not only help save her hand and health but also give our family hope and strength to keep fighting.

P.S.
* Case verified by Karunya Team
* All donations are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G
