To all the kind-hearted souls I met through ImpactGuru, I pen down this letter to you.

I have lived for more than 40 years. A life filled with surprises, happiness, and downfall - I have seen it all. But in my 40 years, I have never experienced the kind of generosity I was showered with up until a few months ago.

It's the kind of love you'd anticipate from cherished ones. It's the compassion you would expect your parents would shower you with. My dear ImpactGuru donors, you've not only helped me survive but thrive because of the love and compassion you had for me.

Out of all the accounts of things that have occurred, hearing from my doctor that I was diagnosed with a Chronic Kidney Disease was definitely something uncalled for. A chronic illness diagnosis hits you like a bolt from the blue, like an unexpected thunderstorm on a bright sunny day. 

The road ahead seemed daunting. After the diagnosis, Dialysis became an integral part of my life. Furthermore, the doctors informed me that I may need a kidney transplant in the future. This put a great financial strain on me, as I watched my savings dwindle while I tried to manage this chronic condition. Facing this financial struggle alone was like battling a giant with only a pebble in hand.

I felt overwhelmed and defeated when I thought of the medical bills that kept piling up until I heard about ImpactGuru through a colleague. A quick research on the internet told me that it's a Crowdfunding platform curated specifically for people dealing with expensive medical treatments. I was intrigued by the concept of Crowdfunding and decided to check it out for myself. 

The ImpactGuru Crowdfunding website had various features that made the campaign easy and effective. I believed this could finally be the solution to the never-ending medical bills. But I was still afraid to take the plunge. 

I'll admit it. Before I created a fundraising campaign to raise funds for my treatment, a whirlwind of doubts stormed my mind. "Is this the right step?" "What will people say about a person who is settled in his career?" But deep inside, I knew that Crowdfunding was my lifeboat to continue this journey. And now, looking back, I'm grateful I took that leap of courage.

Amid this rough journey, ImpactGuru became the cushion I required to continue and battle this condition. The ImpactGuru team helped me share my story with the world, touching hearts across the nation. With the funds raised, I now have the means to afford regular Dialysis and continue my 9-to-5 routine, a luxury that seemed distant not so long ago.

My journey transformed from a solitary struggle to a collective achievement that was brought together by ImpactGuru donors. My heart is full of gratitude, not just for the financial support but for the hope that people have given me. Each person who contributed played a role in changing my life's course, turning darkness into light.

Sometimes, you can't fight a battle alone, and that's okay because there's an ocean of support to rally behind you. You just have to take that one step - that one single step that could change your life. 

I never thought I would be in this position, fighting a battle I could not win alone. But I was determined to make the most of my life, even in these difficult times. I remembered that so many people had been in a similar situation and had won their battles with the help of the right kind of support. 

To you, my extended ImpactGuru family, thank you for bringing hope into my life and giving me a new lease on life.

With a heart brimming with gratitude,

Hemant.
