Priyadarshika Dutta is 5 years old. She is in the PICU of Institute of Child Health, the paediatric intensive care unit, on a ventilator, fighting to breathe. Her food pipe has narrowed so severely that her body can no longer take in solid food.

When Priyadarshika was just 3 years old, she unknowingly drank caustic soda, a chemical so corrosive it began silently burning through her food pipe from the inside. There was no dramatic warning. No way for a toddler to understand what was happening. By the time her parents knew, the damage was already done.

Over the years, the Dutta family watched their only child, the joy of their lives, born after 8 long years of marriage, carry that invisible wound. They held onto hope. They held onto each other. A month ago, everything changed.

Priyadarshika began struggling with solid food. Her food pipe, already scarred and narrowed from years of damage, had worsened to the point of crisis. The doctors stretched it open in an emergency procedure. But it wasn't enough. Infection had set in. Her body, overwhelmed and exhausted, gave way, and she slipped into respiratory distress.

Today, she breathes only with the help of a machine.
Her father, an electrician, earns ₹500 on the days he gets work. Her mother has never worked outside the home. Together, they are standing at the door of a hospital, their daughter on the other side of it, and no way to pay what it takes to keep her there.

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.
