“A baby fills a place in your heart you never knew was empty.”

 I never imagined my heart could carry this much fear.

My name is Prasenjit Ghosh. I am the father of one-year-old Srijan. He is my first child and the light of my life. From the moment he was born, everything in my world changed. I had dreams of teaching him how to walk, of watching him smile, of holding his hand through every little step in life. But today, instead of seeing him grow, I watch him struggle for every breath.

Srijan was different from the beginning. He struggled to breathe and seemed weaker than other babies. Doctors told us not to worry. They said he would grow stronger. But instead, he grew sicker.

In February, he was diagnosed with persistent pneumonia. Since then, our days have been filled with fear and hospital visits. On the third of March, he was admitted to the ICU. He has not left since. He is on oxygen. He cannot eat on his own and is fed through a tube. He lies quietly, barely moving. It has been more than a month since I last held him in my arms.

 Doctors have told us that the infection is spreading. They fear that it may soon lead to organ failure. Hearing those words shattered something inside me. As a father, all I want is to protect my child. But now, I stand helpless as his life hangs in the balance.

We have spent everything. I work as a farmer. We borrowed money and sold what little we had just to keep going. My wife and I have traveled far from our home to stay by his side. Still, the treatment he needs is beyond what we can afford.

All we want is to bring him home. We want to see him laugh. We want to hear him call out to us. My wife has not smiled in weeks. She keeps waiting for the moment she can hold him again.

Your support can give our son the chance to live, to grow up like every child should.

 

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.

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.
