Who is Sharmila

Sharmila was simply and profoundly the most beautiful person I have ever met. Sharmila fought stage 4 cancer for almost 11 years. In the process she proved every doctor wrong and defied all medical statistics and logic. She was the ultimate example of how not to merely survive in a perilous situation but to thrive. Sharmila faced her seemingly hopeless situation with a unique and angelically hopeful smile. People often ask how she maintained her defiance and joy for over a decade. She had an exact plan. She let nothing “just happen” to her. She was actively engaged with her medical team in order to better understand her disease and always replied with fervent thank yous for all their efforts. She habitually thanked God that so many people worked so hard to attack her disease and stood ready to help her. Literally everything she did she would fiercely attack with a simple smile and a laugh. People that knew her would also tell you that you couldn’t be around her for more than a minute without getting a hug. She was always quick to remind me that if she had gotten cancer in 2012 she would’ve “whooped its tail.” She truly believed that ultimately anyone could defeat cancer if they become educated about their unique situation, surround themselves with love and most importantly, attack with reckless abandon all situations with a beautifully irrational smile. The smile and the love is what we want to share with you. Whatever you face in life you can thrive if you learn to smile and dare to live life to its fullest. Follow Sharmila Smile

and spread the smile that is changing people’s lives everyday.

You Can Always Help Someone Find what you have and share it, it all starts with a smile.

Sharmila Bharath May 2012

We aren’t suppressing the difficult times; Sharmila was on chemotherapy for close to 10 years. Sharmila embraced the terrible times with a smile and a little music. Faith-hope-love was Sharmila’s battle cry.

Sometimes days were long, so many times our Sharmila couldn’t even make it home without help. But even then it was hard to find her without a smile to share

Always a hug and smile to share

So What Is Sharmila Smile? We are a group of people striving to live in the present tense of life just as Sharmila did. We want to find the small ways to help others smile. One of the main ways is by providing crackpotcubes as a vehicle for others to share helpful and often expensive equipment that they may have available that can now be used by others who find themselves in difficult circumstances so that they may live life to its fullest and dare face challenges with a smile.

What do You Have to Share? Maybe you have an oxygen machine, or clothes or maybe you

can give someone a ride to treatments. We hope we can help you help others find their smile and enjoy every second

of this precious life. Sharmila would always say, “I’m 11 times healthier when someone makes me smile or better yet

when I make someone smile.” What do you have to share with those in need?

Go out of your way to make someone smile! Sharmila wants every patient to know you must find a way during your long hard days to lift yourself up and get around kids or family or strangers for that matter and make them smile. She wanted everyone to know that a laugh, a hug, and a smile are undoubtedly the best medicine.

So Please, take some time out of your busy schedule

Discover what you have to give. Perhaps it’s a medical device or maybe its making dinner for someone. Maybe it’s taking a

walk with someone, donating new beautiful clothes or making a pray blanket like the one she cherished so much. Whatever

it is please realize that life is beautiful. Please love each other and aspire to live out that timeless creed of faith-hope-

love with a defiant and beautiful smile.

Cheers from Sharmila She rewrote the meaning of cheers. Nothing was ever left unsaid with Sharmila
