3-year-old Sathvik’s vision is rapidly diminishing. He can’t walk around on his own anymore, and on some days he can only see blurred objects. As the days go by, Nagesh and Sujatha’s worry for their son’s life is only increasing. Without an urgent bone marrow transplant, their only child will go completely blind and never overcome this debilitating bone disease that will slowly take over his entire body and life. Sathvik can't walk without support and thinks that he can’t see because the lights are off“6 months ago, our normal, happy child suddenly started walking around the house by feeling things around him. He wouldn't walk without holding on to something. When we asked him, he told us that he couldn’t see because the lights in the house were switched off. We were so shocked. We didn’t know what to do. For months even the doctor couldn’t tell us what was wrong with him." - Nagesh, Sathvik's father.Sathvik has osteopetrosis, a rare disorder that causes the bones
