Mumbai: On Daughters’ Day, a father’s relentless fundraising efforts have helped raise ₹7.25 crore to fund his 14-month-old daughter Gargi’s treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic disorder. Gargi is fighting a serious condition requiring Zolgensma gene therapy, with the estimated treatment cost around ₹10 crore.
During Ganeshotsav, devotees at Lalbaugcha Raja in Mumbai contributed around ₹12–13 lakh to Gargi’s cause, standing with banners and donation boxes near queues and during the immersion procession. Jadhav personally stood outside a famous temple for 12 days, collecting ₹1–1.25 lakh each day.
Sandeep Jadhav, Gargi’s father, expressed his gratitude for the support received. He also approached the Lalbaugcha Raja Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandal and Reliance and the Adani Foundation for assistance, awaiting their responses.
