Hiranya Suryakant Shinde is a 14-year-old girl who has been diagnosed with neuromuscular scoliosis along with SMA Type 2. The family first understood her condition in April 2025, when her spinal curvature began affecting her daily life. Hiranya is also managing diabetes and is currently unable to walk, which has made her dependent on her family for most basic needs. At present, she stays at home and continues her studies in the 9th standard with determination.

Two years ago, Hiranya had already undergone surgery related to her ovaries. Despite facing repeated medical challenges at such a young age, she remains a child who loves drawing and enjoys spending time with her friends whenever possible. These small joys give her strength, even as her physical condition continues to progress.

Doctors have advised scoliosis correction as the next essential step in her treatment. Without timely care, her condition may continue to worsen and affect her comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life. The treatment is important to help her sit, breathe, and live with dignity.

Hiranya’s family has been carrying an emotional and financial burden for many years. Her father passed away thirteen years ago after losing his job, leaving the family suddenly without its main support. Since then, her mother has been managing the household responsibilities alone. She worked in marketing earlier but has not been able to work for the past year because Hiranya needs constant care at home. Her elder brother, now 20 years old and studying in the 12th standard, went through years of emotional distress after losing his father, but is slowly finding stability again.

To manage medical expenses so far, the family has used personal savings, borrowed from friends and relatives, and even sold gold and land. Though their resources are exhausted, their hope has not faded. Pain is visible in their eyes, yet they carry gentle smiles and continue to move forward together. Your help can allow a mother to work without fear, a brother to focus on his future, and a young girl to receive the care she needs to study and grow.

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.
