“No father should have to choose between food and medicine for his child.”
My name is Shankar and I am the father of a 9-year-old boy named Riyan. For the past few years, our lives have revolved around hospitals, medicines, and prayers. Riyan was diagnosed with a kidney condition called Nephrotic Syndrome. We had no idea what it meant at first. All we knew was that our son was falling sick often and nothing seemed to help.
We brought him from our hometown in Bihar to Bangalore hoping for better treatment. Since then, we have been living here in a small rented room. Every day we pay just to have a roof over our heads, and every week we take Riyan for dialysis. In July last year, doctors told us that both his kidneys are damaged and a transplant is now the only option.
Riyan is just a child but he has gone through so much pain. His body swells up often. He cannot go to school. Sometimes he is too weak to even speak. I try to run a small food stall to manage our daily expenses. My wife stays home to care for him. His elder brother, who is in class eleven, helps when he can. But nothing feels enough when your child is suffering in front of you.
There are days when Riyan asks why he cannot play like other children or why he has to be in hospitals all the time. I have no words to answer him. I just hold his hand and tell him that he will get better soon. I want to believe it. I want him to grow up and live the life he dreams of.
We are doing everything we can. We have borrowed, we have asked for help, and we have let go of all comforts. But now, we are reaching a point where we cannot move forward alone.
If you are reading this, I am asking for your help not just to save my son but to give him a chance at a future he truly deserves.

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.
