What has happened to you?

“My one leg is around 10-15 kgs now. Doctors say that the abnormally tangled blood vessels have disrupted the normal blood flow and oxygen circulation. This massive malformation has also become my identity. The , which I want to leave behind,”

You want to talk more about yourself?

“I want to. But I don't know what part of me I should talk about. My present is filled with fear, anger, pain and hopelessness along with hope. I was only a few years old when my father passed away. I am 27 now and my aging mother has been my only support,”

What are your dreams or desires?

“I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin so that I can look up to life and start earning for my aging mother. I dreamt of joining the police but this giant leg has not stopped growing for years now. My surgery is expensive and I need help. Urgent help. I dream to live beyond this disease, that's all,”

What do you and your mother talk about?

“She is mostly quiet but every time I express my helplessness she makes sure that I feel hopeful, throughout. She consoles me and I really want to give all of this back to her. I want to look after her, I want to see her smile, laugh and feel alive,”


Note:

27-year-old Rakesh from Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh is suffering from Severe AV Malformation in his lower limbs. At Baderia Metroprime Hospital, Jabalpur, an expensive surgery awaits him. Through this story we appeal to you to come forward for young Rakesh and donate for his life-changing surgery. As his aging mother, a social worker, can’t afford the cost of a new life for her young son.

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.

Dear Donors,

Rakesh Khandekar’s condition has improved slightly, but he is still struggling as his health keeps fluctuating. Doctors have advised an urgent surgery on his leg, and his treatment is currently ongoing. Due to financial difficulties, his family is unable to manage the rising medical expenses on their own. Your support can make a life-changing difference for Rakesh. We humbly request donors to come forward and help him continue his treatment and undergo the surgery he urgently needs. Any contribution, big or small, will bring hope to Rakesh and his family during this difficult time.

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.
