When strangers look at my son, they look away too quickly. Some stare. Some whisper. Some don’t know what to say. He is only 5 years old… but his face tells a story no child should ever have to carry.

My son, Daksh. It all began in November 2024 with what we thought was just dengue. A fever. Weakness. We were worried — but never prepared for what followed. Within days, his condition turned critical. Doctors said his lungs were failing. They used words I had never heard before — Severe Dengue, HLH, ARDS. I was already praying for his life when another nightmare began. A deadly fungal infection — mucormycosis — started spreading across his face.

The infection was aggressive. Merciless. It attacked his skin… his bones. Doctors rushed him for emergency surgery on 26th November 2024. I still remember sitting outside the operation theatre, numb, wondering if my little boy would come back to me alive. He did. But not the same. Parts of my baby’s face were damaged beyond recognition. The infection left him scarred and deformed. When he smiles, I can still see my Daksh… but the world sees something else first.

Sometimes he touches his face and asks me softly,  “Mumma, will I look normal again?” He is too young to understand what happened. Too young to feel different. But children notice. People notice. Doctors say Daksh now needs multiple facial reconstruction surgeries to rebuild what the infection destroyed. Without them, the damage could affect his growth, speech, and confidence for life.

I am just a housewife. His father left us when Daksh was only 10 days old. Since then, we have had no support from him. My maternal family is doing everything they can, but the cost of these surgeries is far beyond our means. My son has already survived death once. Now he needs help to live with dignity.

As a mother, I am begging you — please help me rebuild my child’s face… and his future.


Your Donation Is Helping Not 1 But 3 People!

Your donation towards this fundraiser is not only helping Daksh Rai recover from Severe Dengue with HLH/Severe ARDS/Mucormycosis (Cutaneous and Osteomyelitis) but also helping two more patients in need

  1. Karri Sankeerthana is suffering from Wilson’s disease and needs an urgent liver transplant worth ₹18 lakhs. 

Karri Sridevi and her husband never imagined they would see their youngest child suffer so much. Their daughter, Sankeerthana, has Wilson’s disease, a rare disorder affecting her liver, lungs, and kidneys. Once a bright, happy child who loved studying, her condition has left her in constant pain, unable to eat on her own. She dreams of becoming a teacher, but without urgent treatment, her future is slipping away. A liver transplant is her only hope, but the cost is beyond their reach. Her parents ask for support—your generosity can give Sankeerthana a chance at a healthy, happy life.

  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.

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.
