Rithwik's Story

Rithwik is an 8-year-old boy from India, currently studying in the 3rd grade. He lives with his younger brother, Dharwik, who is 5 years old and deaf and mute. Their family has faced immense hardship following a series of tragic events.
In 2020, Rithwik’s mother fell ill during the delivery of her second baby and was subsequently diagnosed with cancer. She passed away in 2021, leaving the family devastated. Following her death, their father, Swamy, who was a car driver, struggled with alcoholism and became increasingly irresponsible in caring for his children. Tragically, in 2023, their father also passed away due to a bike accident.
