Dear ImpactGuru Community and Lavanya, 

I have something special to share with you all.

It's been almost a year since I joined ImpactGuru as a supporter, and I have witnessed countless miracles happen through this platform. 

What drew me to ImpactGuru was their commitment to amplifying every donation's impact. The success stories they have shared on this platform have reassured me that my contribution, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference. 

Among the countless stories, a story that truly resonates with me is that of Lavanya, a mother of two beautiful children from Telangana. 

This is the story that inspired me to become a donor on ImpactGuru.

A year ago, I came across a video titled "Young Mom Lavanya Needs Heart & Lung Transplant." After watching the video, my first thought was, "How could anyone possibly live without a properly functioning lung and heart?"

The story of Lavanya, a mother of two, was a tragic one. She suffered from a rare condition known as Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). Despite the difficulty of the situation, Lavanya was surrounded by love. Her daughters, Likitha and Ishwitha, and her husband, all cared deeply for her and wanted her to receive the best possible treatment. But the only way for her to lead a normal life was to get a heart and lung transplant - a treatment worth Rs. 85 lakhs.  

I am a humble man from Mumbai, leading an ordinary life, and working hard to provide a sustained life for my family. As someone who values the importance of being together as a family, I could feel the pain of Lavanya and her family.

Before coming across this video, I didn't know who Lavanya was or how she lived her life till now. But watching that video etched my heart with sorrow and a sense of empathy to want to at least support her with what I can afford. 

After a brief scroll on ImpactGuru's website, I was immediately drawn to their values of transparency and honesty. Without hesitation, I made a contribution to Lavanya’s fundraiser, hoping that this small contribution would make a difference.

One of the best parts was that the ImpactGuru team provided regular updates about Lavanya's condition to all the donors throughout the fundraising journey. This not only gave me a sense of assurance that the funds were being used responsibly but also made me feel connected to her progress and motivated me to contribute more.

A Year Later…

I was scrolling through Instagram and came across this post that made me so happy. I was filled with contentment to learn that Lavanya finally received her long-awaited heart and lung transplant and is now resting well at home, with her family beside her. 

A year ago, I had little to no knowledge about crowdfunding but Lavanya's story was the beginning of everything. Her story is what drove me to become a part of ImpactGuru and make a difference in people's lives.

As the saying by Anthony Liccione goes, “Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home.” Lavanya had just that. Lavanya's family was her rock, her support system that kept her pushing to be strong. The warmth of her family and the support of the 20,000+ donors who supported her fundraiser provided Lavanya with the courage to persevere. 

All it took was a slight nudge, and here I am, a proud and happy supporter of India's leading medical crowdfunding platform - ImpactGuru. I've seen first-hand the difference it makes when people come together to support those in need. You can, too, join this transformative journey and become a part of something truly special. With this platform, you have the power to make a difference.

Before I end my note, I want to express my gratitude to all the supporters who made a difference in Lavanya’s life. And Lavanya, thank you for inspiring us with your journey

Regards, 

One of 20,000 supporters
