Manpreet may look like a toddler but he’s actually an adult. Looking at his small body frame, swollen palms, feet and a big face with saggy skin, it’s impossible to tell he’s a 23 years old boy.
His condition remains a mystery without a real diagnosis, mainly because of the exorbitant cost that his rare condition demands - a staggering Rs. 5 lakh. The doctors in India are baffled by his condition and are unable to come up with a proper diagnosis of the condition. Scientists believe that Manpreet could have Laron Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that is believed to have affected just 300 people across the globe, whether it’s a true is a question without an answer.
His aunt and uncle are constantly worried about his future. The family has been consulting doctors in the metro cities but his condition has not improved in any way. The doctors have said that they need to do a proper investigation of his condition before being able to diagnose his condition.
Manpreet’s uncle and his son are both drivers who barely make enough money to run the house. Manpreet requires a medical investigation to get to the root of his condition so an appropriate treatment option can be worked upon.
Their family needs help to afford this treatment. “We don’t have enough funds to take him to a better doctor or hospital. We appeal to the kind people of the internet to help us raise funds for Manpreet’s treatment,” said Karanvir, underlining the cost of the investigation and preliminary treatment would be around Rs 5,00,000
