“My name is Taibai Goykar, and I have just given birth to my baby boy… but instead of celebrating his arrival, I am watching him fight for his life.

He was born too early in the 7th month of my pregnancy, weighing only 1100 grams. His tiny body is not ready for this world yet. He is currently in the NICU at Neocare Hospital, Nashik, surrounded by machines that are helping him breathe and survive.

As a mother, I always dreamed of holding my baby close, feeding him, and feeling his warmth. But today, I can only see him through glass. I cannot even hold him properly. Every time I see his fragile body connected to tubes, my heart breaks into pieces.

Doctors have told us that he is suffering from Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) and needs continuous NICU care to survive. The treatment cost is around ₹5,20,000/-, which is far beyond what we can afford.

Every moment feels like a prayer. I keep asking God to protect my baby, to give him strength to fight this battle. But as parents, we cannot do this alone.”

With folded hands and a heart full of hope,
Taibai mother of a 7-months-old premature baby
