His Fight So Far

For a child as young as 1 year, life has become a battle against breath. Shanvith was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, dengue with thrombocytopenia, and a lung infection that led to acute respiratory distress. He was admitted to KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad after his fever and breathing problems worsened.

Since then, his tiny lungs have been struggling to breathe on their own. He is currently on ventilator support in the ICU, fighting to stay alive each day. Doctors are doing everything they can to save him, but the treatment is expensive and long-term.

Current Situation

Shanvith’s parents are heartbroken watching their baby covered in tubes and wires. The doctors have warned that if treatment is stopped due to lack of funds, his lungs may fail. They have already spent ₹10 lakhs and need another ₹15 lakhs to continue his ICU care and save his life.

About the Family

Shanvith’s father is a daily wage labourer who earns ₹500 per day, while his mother is a homemaker. They have a 4-year-old daughter who keeps asking to see her little brother, not understanding why he is in the hospital.

The family sold their house and borrowed from relatives to start the treatment. Now, they have nothing left to sell but their hopes. They traveled over 300 km from their village to Hyderabad in search of a miracle.

Why They Need Help

The cost of ICU treatment, ventilator support, and medications is unimaginable for a family surviving on daily wages. If the treatment stops now, Shanvith’s life will be in danger. His parents are pleading for help to save their baby boy.

Your Support Can Save Him

At just 1 year old, Shanvith deserves a chance to breathe, to smile, to grow up in his mother’s arms again. Your help can give him that chance. Every rupee you donate goes toward his ICU care and treatment.

Please help this young family save their baby’s life.

Together, we can bring Baby Shanvith back home healthy and smiling.

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.
