A Dream That Took 21 Years to Come True

For more than two decades, Shivkumari and Kamlesh waited and prayed to experience the joy of becoming parents. After 21 years of marriage, their dream finally came true through IVF treatment when their baby girl was born.

But what should have been the happiest moment of their lives quickly turned into a nightmare.

Their daughter was born extremely premature at just 26 weeks and 5 days, weighing only 840 grams. Her tiny body was not fully developed, and she needed immediate intensive medical care to survive.

A Fragile Life Fighting to Survive

Soon after birth, doctors discovered a serious complication — a hole had formed in her intestine, which required urgent surgery.

Even after the surgery, the baby’s condition remains critical.

Now just 22 days old, she weighs only 700 grams and is currently in the NICU on ventilator support, fighting every single breath.

Doctors have advised that she must remain in the NICU for the next 8–9 weeks to receive specialized care that can help her survive and grow stronger.

About the Family

The baby’s father, Kamlesh Yadav, is 48 years old and works as an auto-rickshaw driver, earning around ₹15,000 per month.

Her mother, Shivkumari, is a homemaker who spends every moment beside her newborn daughter in the hospital.

The family lives in a rented home in Kandivali, Mumbai, and their limited income barely covers their daily living expenses.

To continue the baby’s treatment, they have already spent ₹1 lakh, using their personal savings and borrowing money from friends and relatives.

But the estimated cost of treatment is ₹18.5 lakhs, which is far beyond what they can afford.

Why They Need Your Help

After waiting 21 long years to hold their child, the parents are now watching their newborn struggle for survival in the NICU.

The cost of prolonged NICU care, ventilator support, and specialized treatment is overwhelming for this family.

Without financial support, continuing her treatment will become nearly impossible.

Your Support Can Save This Tiny Life

This fragile baby has just entered the world, and she deserves the chance to live, grow, and experience life.

Your contribution can help provide the critical NICU care she needs to survive.

Please come forward and support the Baby of Shivkumari. Your kindness can give this little fighter the chance to go home safely in her parents’ arms.


This campaign for a single patient can be converted into a multi-patient campaign, subject to the performance of this campaign. Once the funding requirement of a specific patient is met, multiple other beneficiaries can be helped through Impact Guru.

Should I wait for an organ donor before starting a fundraiser?

You need not wait for donor or have the organ ready. We actually suggest you start a fundraiser as soon as you can so that you are ready with the acquired funds and can get the surgery done immediately when you do receive an organ.

How can I track the impact of my donation?

Generally, most campaigners are reminded to leave updates on their fundraiser regarding the progress of their cause, whether it’s a nonprofit project or the health of a patient. You will get an email every time an update is posted. Alternately, you can use the "Contact campaigner" option on the fundraiser page to directly get in touch with the campaigner and understand how your donation benefited them.

Once the requirement of this patient will be met, any remaining funds will ultimately go towards helping other needy patients in line with Impact Guru's mission of helping save as many lives as possible.

Whose account will the funds be transferred to?

For all medical fundraisers, the funds will be directly transferred to the hospital’s account. Only in a few cases, based on Impact Guru’s discretion, the funds might be transferred to the campaigner or the patient’s account for postoperative or at home expenses.

In cases, where the funding requirement of the patient changes due to factors such as death, change of treatment plan on advice of hospital, delay in treatment, medical complications, Impact Guru utilizes the funds to help similar patients with the mission of helping save as many lives as possible.

Does Impact Guru help in promoting campaigns?

90%+ of Impact Guru’s campaigns raise funds leveraging our do-it-yourself fundraising platform.

The Accelerate initiative of Impact Guru caters primarily towards those individuals who are unable to create or manage their own fundraiser due to lack of education, access to smartphones, or social networks for fundraising support. Impact Guru provides fundraising support in such cases by maximizing outreach, leveraging all fundraising channels. In order to provide crucial life saving support to such patients, Impact Guru charges marketing cost paid to such third parties and its regular platform and payment gateway fees. Impact Guru's constant endeavour is to reduce such outreach costs to maximize social impact of every contribution.

Who should I contact if I have more questions?

If you have more questions or need assistance to start a fundraiser, you can send us an email at [email protected]

What is the verification process for fundraiser & fund transfer approval?

We strive to obtain comprehensive documentation related to the patient's medical care and expenses. We communicate with the patient / campaigner / hospital(s) and/or medical institutions and may verify & collect all documents related to the patient, including but not limited to itemized bills, medical certificate / estimate, admission report, discharge summary, medical records, and expense documents.

We reserve the right to conduct physical visits and/or photo/ video verification as deemed necessary. Such verification measures may apply not only to patients but also to vendors, medical institutions, and other relevant parties, as applicable.
