Story
Shalini Yadav is a 16 year old girl, living in her extended family of 8 in India. She was born with an incurable inflammatory skin condition known as Erythroderma.
Shalini loves studying but due to her physical appearance, she was thrown out of school, as other classmates were scared of her face.
Her entire body has become scaly and her skin sheds every 45 days, causing Shalini excruciating pain. Her family cannot afford the treatment creams, which Shalini must use to prevent her body from hardening and seizing up.
Help us help Shalini - With her whole future ahead of her, together we can raise money to provide Shalini with the vital treatment creams and help her get back into school and pursue her dreams.

8 years agoFirstly, we'd like to say a BIG thank you to all our supporters. Despite our target of £250, together we have raised a phenomenal amount for Shalini. We have contacted our local MP, Sarah Olney, to help us track down Shalini Yadav and ensure the money gets to her safely! We will keep you updated as soon as we hear any news as to Shalini's whereabouts. Fingers crossed, we can get this life-changing donation over to Shalini as soon as possible.

6 years agoHello everyone, I have just received a video from Shalini showing her amazing progress, since receiving treatment in Spain at Hospital Humanline Banus in 2017. At the time, Shalini was suffering from malnourishment and limited mobility, exacerbated by her skin. With continued treatment since 2017, Shalini has made great progress. She is studying hard for school and very optimistic about her future.

8 years agoThank you so much to everyone from all around the world for donating! It is so heart-warming to see that we can all come together in the name of a good cause. I am currently contacting the newspapers and media outlets to find out Shalini's address as well as contacting MPs to find out how we can get the donations sent directly to Shalini. Together we can provide Shalini the medication, access to education and opportunities which she is otherwise being deprived of. Please carry on donating and sharing this page. Thank you again!

I, Syed Bashar, am the owner of an Indian Takeaway, based in Richmond. Upon reading this news article, I was touched as it was so close to home. I, alongside my team, decided we would set up a page to help fundraise the money for Shalini's essential medication.
