“As a mother, nothing is more heart-wrenching than seeing your newborn struggle for life. My baby girl, born 22 days ago, came into this world far too soon, in just 5th month and weighing only 700 grams. I was so curious to welcome my first baby into this world. But she didn’t even cry when she was born. I was worried as a thought crossed my mind, “Did I lose my child? ” With no response, doctors immediately placed her tiny body in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where she’s been fighting for her life since. Diagnosed with extreme prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome, and probable sepsis, she requires constant ventilatory support and treatments to help her breathe. Every day, I sit by her side, watching her battle, clinging to the hope that she will grow stronger. She’s my world, and seeing her connected to so many machines breaks my heart in ways I can’t even express.
The doctors say she needs to stay in the NICU for at least 8 to 9 more weeks, with treatment costs reaching Rs. 8,00,000. Her father works in a small shop as a helper and earns merely ₹8,000 to ₹10,000 monthly. As a family, we are struggling financially. We simply do not have the means to cover these overwhelming expenses.
As her mother, I am reaching out to you, humbly asking for your help. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go towards saving my daughter’s life and giving her a chance to grow up healthy and strong. Your kindness can lift the immense burden that weighs on our hearts. We desperately need a miracle, and your support can make that miracle happen.”
