Every day, I sit next to her bed and watch the machines breathe for her. I keep talking to Nikita… telling her, “Papa is here.” But she doesn’t respond. The same child who wouldn’t stay quiet for a minute… now lies completely still. Sometimes, I feel like she’s trying to fight… but her body just won’t listen. I don’t know how a father is supposed to accept this.

I close my eyes and all I can see is her running behind me, holding my hand, laughing without a care in the world. And then I open my eyes… and she is lying there, surrounded by tubes and wires. It was the morning of 16th April, the most devastating day of my life! Nikita was unable to get up from bed. We thought she must be feeling tired, but she just wouldn’t get up or respond to us.
I took her to a nearby hospital with the help of my neighbours. Doctors couldn’t understand anything and ran multiple scans & tests. Later that night came the diagnosis - Acute Flaccid Paralysis with Quadriplegia, a rare condition that has paralysed her body.

She is just 3 years old! Just 3! What has suddenly happened…I don’t know! Ever since then, she’s in the PICU at NewEra Women & Child hospital. I have mortgaged my house… the little jewellery we had is gone. I have borrowed from everyone I could. Today, I stand empty-handed in front of my daughter, with nothing left to give except my prayers. I feel like I failed her. Even after selling everything we had, I still cannot afford to save her.
But prayers are not enough anymore.

The doctors say Nikita needs prolonged ICU care, constant monitoring, and urgent treatment to survive. Every passing day, the bills keep increasing… and with them, my fear that I might lose her.
I am not asking for anything for myself. I am just asking for my daughter’s life. I want to see her stand again… take one small step… and run into my arms like she used to.
I want to hear her call me “Papa” just one more time.

If you can hear a father’s cry, please help me. Your support can give Nikita a chance to
move again… to breathe without machines… to live the childhood she deserves.
Please don’t let me lose my little girl.

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.
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.
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.
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.
If you have more questions or need assistance to start a fundraiser, you can send us an email at [email protected]
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.
