APPEAL FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We, the Central Young Chakma Association (CYCA), make a heartfelt appeal to the kindness and generosity of all to extend financial assistance to Dg. Kalendra Chakma (60 years), S/o Dg. Rattan Chan Chakma, a resident of Kamalanagar-IV, Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC), Mizoram.
Dg. Kalendra Chakma has been battling severe health complications for the past several months, including a life-threatening gastritis ulcer accompanied by persistent high fever. Despite seeking treatment at Lunglei in April 2026, his condition has only worsened. Today, he lies in a critical condition, in urgent need of advanced medical care at a well-equipped hospital. Tragically, due to acute financial hardship, he is unable to afford the treatment that could save his life.
It is worth recalling that this is the same Kalendra Chakma who once stood courageously for his own Chakma people. As the then Karbari of Toijongdor village, he fearlessly approached the Gauhati High Court to fight against the illegal eviction of his fellow villagers. He dedicated his life to the cause of justice, dignity and the welfare of the community. Once regarded as a pillar of strength and a voice of resistance, he now finds himself in a moment of helplessness.
Today, the man who once stood for many is now standing alone in his darkest hour.
At this critical juncture, we humbly urge all community NGOs, kindhearted individuals, donors, and well-wishers to come forward and extend your support to help save his life. Let us stand together - not only to save a precious life, but also to honour a man who once dedicated his strength and courage for the welfare of his fellow Chakmas.
