“Every mother’s worst nightmare is watching her child suffer and feeling powerless to help.”

This is the story of my precious daughter, Jerushah Miracle. She is just 1 year and 9 months old, but she has already fought battles no child should face. When she was only two months old, I noticed her eyes turning yellow and her body growing pale. At first, we thought it was just normal newborn jaundice, but it never went away.

After many sleepless nights and visits to the hospital, we learned the heartbreaking truth—Jerushah has Biliary Atresia, a rare liver disease that blocked her liver from working properly. At just 2.5 months, she had to undergo a Kasai surgery to help her liver drain. We prayed and hoped it would work. For a while, she was doing well, playing, laughing, and growing just like any other child.

But then, only recently, her jaundice came back. Her little body is swollen, she itches constantly, she won’t eat or sleep well, and her spirits have dimmed. The doctors say her liver is failing, and the only hope left is a liver transplant. Her father is ready to donate his liver to save her, but the cost is more than we have ever seen in our lives.

My husband runs a small two-wheeler garage, earning just Rs 500 a day. I’m a housewife, and we have no other income. We have already spent lakhs on treatment, taken loans from everywhere, and still, this mountain of bills stands between us and Jerushah’s chance to live.

Every night, I hold her tiny, fragile body as she cries in pain, unable to tell us what hurts. Watching her suffer breaks me into pieces. I fear what will happen if we can’t afford this transplant in the next two weeks. The doctors warned that without it, her condition will worsen rapidly, and they may lose her.

Please help us give Jerushah a second chance at life. A chance to run, laugh, and grow into the beautiful child she was meant to be.


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.
