As Raksha Bandhan nears, a festival celebrating sibling bonds, a touching story from KIMS Cuddles Hospital in Kondapur highlights that love knows no bounds. A 10-year-old girl from Warangal went beyond the traditional rakhi to give her 11-year-old brother the ultimate gift—life.

The boy was diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia, a rare and life-threatening condition where the bone marrow fails to produce sufficient blood cells. Upon admission, he had dangerously low haemoglobin, platelets, and neutrophils, according to Dr. Chandana Mareddy, Consultant Paediatric Haematologist and Bone Marrow Transplant Specialist.

With stem cell therapy being his only hope, doctors requested a donor from within the family. Without hesitation, his younger sister bravely volunteered. Her stem cells were successfully transplanted, offering her brother a new chance at life. Understanding the family’s financial challenges, KIMS Cuddles provided major treatment support and discounts. Thanks to their compassion and medical expertise, the boy has now been discharged and is on his way to full recovery.
