Power Of The Community - Crowdfunding Saves 5-Year-Old From Brutal Accident

A Tragic Incident That Changed Everything… 

It was just another day when Srishti, a 4-year-old innocent and bubbly girl, went out with her mother to run some daily errands. Little did they know that this would be the day that changed their lives forever. Srishti was hit by a reckless driver who fled from the site of harm, leaving the young one with severe life-threatening injuries. 

After The Traumatic Incident… 

Srishti was rushed to Rainbow Children's Hospital. With pelvic ruptures, perineal tears, and contusions in the brain that eventually led to polytrauma, she was critical and thereby confined to her hospital bed. 

The 4-year-old needed immediate treatment and surgeries, the cost of which came up to ₹9.20 Lakhs. Srishti’s father is a humble craftsman and the sole breadwinner of the family. He had already exhausted most of his life’s savings on his daughter's hospital stay, making it difficult for him to arrange funds quickly.

A Father’s Determination To Save His Daughter

In Srishti's eyes, her father was her hero. And this hero was not going to give up on his daughter. He was determined to save his daughter's life at any cost. That's when the hospital staff recommended ImpactGuru - a crowdfunding platform that helps patients raise medical funds in need.

Srishti's father reached out to ImpactGuru to save his little one.
