Story Documents Updates4

Two months ago, Varshini and her husband welcomed their baby boy into the world with joy and dreams for his future. Their happiness, however, was short-lived. At just one and a half months old, their little one developed a wound above his eye. 

Despite consulting doctors, his condition did not improve. Further tests at the hospital revealed something the family never expected—he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a type of blood cancer.

The news shattered them. Their baby, too young to even be named, had to begin chemotherapy immediately. Over the past few weeks, he has undergone two rounds of chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and platelet transfusions. His condition was critical, and at one point, he was in the ICU at the MS Ramaiah Medical College Hospital.

Varshini’s husband works in the packing department of a pharmaceutical company on a contract basis, earning a limited salary. As a mother, she has been by her baby’s side in the hospital for over a month, while her five-year-old daughter waits at home, longing to see her little brother. 

The family has exhausted their savings, and the cost of further treatment, including expensive chemotherapy injections, is beyond their reach.

“We dreamt of giving our son a good life, a future better than ours. But now, we fear losing him,” says Varshini.

With your kindness, this baby can receive the life-saving treatment he needs. Every contribution, big or small, brings him closer to a healthy future. Please support him in his fight to recover and reunite with his loving family!


Your Donation Is Helping Not 1 But 3 People!

Your intention to help an individual can turn into a spectrum of generosity. Why, you ask?

Because the donation you make for Baby of Varshini will not only heal her but also help 2 more patients in need!

  1. Born extremely preterm, Twin Babies of Iswarya need NICU stay for 1 month with ventilator support: 

Born at just 27 weeks and weighing only 1 kg each, Iswarya’s twin babies are battling for life in the NICU with respiratory distress and sepsis. After 7 years of marriage and a miscarriage, these babies were their parents’ hope. Now, they need ventilator support and a month-long NICU stay. Their father, a welding labourer earning ₹600 a day, cannot afford the treatment worth ₹12.3  lakhs. The family has nothing left. Please help save these tiny lives—so they can one day call out “Amma” and “Appa.”

  1. Aradhita is fighting SMA (Type 2) and needs prolonged medicine which costs ₹5 crores. 

Aradhita, 26, battles Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type II, leaving her paralyzed and dependent on her parents. Her family seeks ₹5 crores for Risdiplam treatment. Despite her artistic passion, Aradhita struggles with basic tasks. She dreams of independence but feels like a burden. Her parents, despite their love and reassurance, are helpless. Aradhita's story is a plea for help, a chance at a normal life.

 Your donation towards this fundraiser will support both their treatments.

The goal amount of the campaign may be higher than the attached estimates to address and aid the post-hospitalization expenses/contingencies including but not limited to prolonged medication, diagnostics, rehabilitation therapies, and follow-up doctor visits/consultations which vary from disease to disease.
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.
