“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.”
- Willie Nelson (American Musician)
Life taught me to always count your blessings and not your shortcomings. Count how you thrive through the hardship, rather than keeping your head down in refrain. If there is one thing that Impact Guru donors have taught me with all the love for my son, Shiyanshu, then it is that love reigns supreme in every human being. Because of your love and blessings, my Shiyanshu is back in his element, playing, smiling, and enjoying life. Because of you, his cries are the fragments of a distant past. The nightmare is finally gone.
My Shiyanshu woke up one day with a persistent fever. When medicines from local doctors showed no signs of recovery, I brought him to the hospital for a checkup. Examination revealed that he had a lump in his stomach. And scans and tests further detected a malignant tumor that was spreading in my little boy’s body- Neuroblastoma. His life was in danger.
My boy’s laughter and smiles came to a standstill. With savings exhausted, my hope of saving Shiyanshu was alive only with your help.
Impact Guru and donors helped Shiyanshu by contributing to the fundraiser on Impact Guru. Your overflowing love supported him for 2.5 years. Now with the help of radiation and chemotherapy, he is fine again. With Impact Guru’s super easy fundraising, I created a fundraiser in less than 5 minutes. Impact Guru made fund transfers to hospitals so easy and swift, that not once in these 2.5 years was his chemo or radiation delayed. Now my son is back home and I can listen to his endless giggles. Thank you Impact Guru donors.
