I am 31 years old and I am fighting for my life at Sindhi Hospital.

Last year in November, I was diagnosed with Relapsed Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. It started with fever and severe back pain. We were terrified when we heard the word ‘cancer’. Since then, my life has been only hospitals, tests, and painful treatments. I underwent 6 chemotherapy sessions and an autologous bone marrow transplant in August 2024 at St John Hospital, Bangalore. For a few months after that, from September to December, I thought I had defeated cancer.

But fate had other plans. My cancer came back. In March 2025, I had to undergo another bone marrow transplant, this time with my brother as the donor. I thought my life would get better after this, but now I am again admitted in the ICU for the past 5 days due to severe infections and post-transplant complications like cytopenias and CMV reactions.

I am a farmer and my wife stitches clothes. We have two young daughters, aged 7 and 5, and a son who is just 3 years old. They are too small to understand why their father is always in the hospital. Every time I see their faces, I promise myself I will fight harder.

I want to live for my children, for my wife, and for my family who depend on me. But we have exhausted everything we had for my treatment so far. Now we are staying near the hospital, far from home, just to continue my treatment.

Please help me recover and return to my family. I want to live and hold my children in my arms again.

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.
