Dear Beloved ImpactGuru Donors,
In your hearts, you already know the journey I have undertaken, the challenges I have faced, and the transformation that has taken place. But I want to share my immense appreciation for the remarkable role you played in rewriting my story and giving me a second lease on life. Together, through ImpactGuru's crowdfunding platform, you have bestowed upon me the gift of a lifetime.

As you may already know, life has always thrown challenges my way from the moment I was born. Incomplete features that included lips, palate, and nose due to my facial deformity threw a long shadow over my life. Breathing, a simple act of living, was a daily struggle for me. Due to my cleft lip, I struggled to eat properly.
The most painful thing I had to endure was the judgement from society. Mothers would warn their children to stay away from me, strangers would pass judgemental remarks, and my parents had to bear the brunt of these cruel comments. It was a heartbreaking experience that made me feel isolated and shunned. But deep down, I held into that one flicker of hope that one day, a miracle would happen and snatch away all my concerns.

In the chapter of turmoil, my parents, or as I like to call them, my superhuman support system, stood beside me like a rock. My parents went to great lengths to ensure I received the best medical care possible. They visited numerous hospitals and consulted with several doctors to get the best advice and treatment for me. Despite the emotional hurdles, we faced the challenges head-on, overcoming every obstacle with strength.

My parents tried their best to raise funds for my medical treatments. Unfortunately, they didn't have sufficient funds for my entire treatment. It was through the guidance of the hospital staff that my family discovered ImpactGuru, a people-based crowdfunding platform that assists you in raising funds for your medical needs.
Together with ImpactGuru, we embarked on a journey filled with hope that kind donors like you would support us. ImpactGuru's team crafted a compelling fundraising campaign and shared my story nationwide. ImpactGuru's intervention in our life is something that I will always cherish throughout my life.

Your contributions reached far beyond medical funds; they became beacons of hope that guided me through the most challenging moments. Through your support, you not only provided me with a new nose but also gifted me a new life.
This chapter of my life is new and profound, and I am optimistic about the possibilities ahead. I am grateful for everything.
My family and you, kind ImpactGuru donors, are the true heroes of my life.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Prince
