from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

After falling on her own several times and experiencing pain in her pinkie finger while playing the violin,  Prabal Chakrabarti and Venessa Ruget's  daughter Sajni was diagnosed with DIPG at the age of 7. Sajni tried to lead her best life possible for the next 19 months, as she spoke French fluently, rode horses, did karate, and wrote a letter to the White House about Climate Change. As Venessa put it, Sajni wanted to change the world. Sajni took over 100 trips to Boston Children's Hospital and took 10 trips to England as her parents tried to do whatever they could to help their beloved daughter. Unfortunately the viciousness of DIPG took over and she passed away on July 1st of 2017.
