Hear the cry of more than 20 lakhs of Indians like him, with cancer, AIDS, paralysis or other prolonged debilitating diseases:     This pain is killing me.  Will it never end? Will I die in pain? Photo: Ruth Fremson. New York Times      I am already breathless. Will I suffocate to death?      Will my children have to drop out of school?      Will my daughter ever get married?      My life is worthless!      The doctor says I don’t have to go back to hospital.      Everyone has deserted me!      Why did God do this to me?

We refuse to look the other way. We choose to hear the cry. And to do what we can.
