"I Couldn't Even Hold Him."

— Laxmi, the mother

The moment a mother gives birth, her first instinct is to hold her baby. To feel his warmth. To count his fingers.

Laxmi never got that moment.

When her baby was born on June 7th,, he weighed just 1000 gm— the weight of a small bag of rice. He wasn't crying. He was gasping. Doctors moved fast, and within minutes, he was taken away — tubes in his nose, wires on his chest, a ventilator breathing for him.

  • Location

    Nashik, Maharashtra

  • Medical Condition

    The following is the confirmed medical status as documented by Suyog Hospital, Nashik (Reg. No.: 1311 NMC, ROHINI ID: 8900080136588) dated 12/06/2026:

    Patient: Baby of Laxmi
    Condition: Preterm Male, Birth Weight 1000 gm (Very Low Birth Weight)
    Admitted: 07/06/2026 | Currently in NICU on continuous ventilator support

    Diagnosed with:

    Severe Prematurity with Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW), Respiratory Distress, Grunting, Cyanosis, Requirement of immediate NICU admission, Mechanical ventilator support since birth

    Current Treatment Requirements:
    The baby requires continuous intensive monitoring, respiratory support, temperature maintenance, nutritional support, infection surveillance, and management of complications related to extreme prematurity.

    Estimated Total Cost of Hospitalization: ₹5,00,000/-
    (Inclusive of ventilator charges, NICU care, hospital charges, consultant charges, doctor charges, medicine charges, and investigation charges)

    A 1 kg baby in the NICU isn't just fragile — every hour on a ventilator is a battle. Preterm babies at this weight are at high risk for infections, bleeding in the brain, lung collapse, and multiple organ complications. The medical team at Suyog Hospital is doing everything possible. But treatment costs money. Constant, unrelenting money that this family simply does not have. This family is not sitting on property they can liquidate. They are not asking for help out of laziness or carelessness. They are asking because without your help, a 10-day-old baby boy — who has already survived birth, a ventilator, and 9 nights in the NICU — may not get the chance to go home.
