10 Dec,2025. Seems like a normal date. But this date changed everything for Santhosh. He was going about his day until the clock showed the time ‘10 PM’. It was a cold, breezy night when Santhosh was heading towards his village.

Driving his bike at an average speed, he saw dogs on the road who were about to get hit by his bike. He managed to save them but ended up getting severely injured. The left side of his brain had a major impact. Since that day, he has been in a coma. Santhosh, an animal lover is now bedridden, fighting for his life. His bike skidded violently as he swerved to protect those innocent lives, and now Santhosh lies motionless in a hospital bed of St John’s Medical College Hospital, trapped in unconsciousness for 15 days and counting.

His mother's eyes are swollen from crying. “I cannot see my son like this. I just want him to be alive,” she says. “To save a dog, he gave his life. Save my son, please help!” Every day, she watches him slip deeper into the coma. Santhosh's younger sister stands beside her mother. “I cannot see my mother crying like this. She cannot see her son like this. She cries every day,” she says.

The weight of responsibility now falls entirely on her young shoulders. “After my dad passed away, my brother paused his education and started working,” she explains with her trembling voice. He became the breadwinner, the one who held their family together. Now, the family struggles to afford lakhs for Santhosh’s treatment, a financial commitment for a humble delivery boy's family. “Since then, we've been spending ₹50 thousand per day,” his sister says. “I don't know when he will come home and when we will return to how we used to live so cheerfully.”

Without urgent treatment, Santhosh's coma could be the end of him. The compassionate young man who chose to save lives now needs your help to save his. His family hopes to see him back and recovered.

Fill the void Santhosh is living through. 

Donate and share to save him.

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.

What is crowdfunding and how does it work?

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.
