Story
Today i came across this story.
Shalini Yadav is 16 and suffers with Erythroderma, a painful condition that dries out the skin.
She was recently removed from school as her condition frightens other children. She would love to continue with her studies but for now remains at home.
As her skin has become so hard she has severe mobility problems and struggles to walk.
Her parents believe their child would be better off to die than to live the life she does now.
My heart broke for this child on all levels. Her pain and suffering, her exclusion from society, her missing out on a desired education and her family struggles.
All this on the shoulders of this poor girl.
I can't imagine her suffering.
Surely we can raise enough funds to get her seen by the best medics, even if it means her travelling or for them to travel to her. To see specialists and for them to give her the best treatment they can as her parents are unable to afford it.
We can't leave a human being to go through this and not offer to help.
Please try and give whatever you can so we can get her some care, make her life a bit easier in some way.
Please help her!
Thank you.

She is such a brave young girl! It touched my heart seeing her imprisoned in a body that slowly turns into a painful cage. And the way the school treated her-just cruel. I hope we can help her.

Put the direct address or PO box for this girls family on here, so that some needed organic cream can be sent ASAP. Would anything sent to Shalini Yadav 'Skin comdition' girl India? get there OK
