“Will my 4-month-old make it through one more painful day! My baby struggles to breathe with eyes wide open with lips and face turning blue. His shallow breath fears me… Every time this happens, I think I’m going to lose him! I pray to go every single second just to give my Shivansh enough strength to fight this pain.”

- Aartee; mother of 4-month-old Shivansh

Aartee and Sumit’s baby boy’s heart is failing. Every day that he goes without surgery, he’s being pushed towards his parents’ worst nightmare – losing him forever.

Both the parents waited for their baby’s arrival! Little did they know that the baby would be born with such a deadly condition.

Shivansh used to cough and the parents thought it was normal. However, upon consulting the doctor they found out that the child had Pneumonia and this happened during 2.5 months of this birth. Doctors found that the baby had a problem in his heart. Medicines were prescribed but the health condition got even worse.

3 - 4 days ago, the baby got Pneumonia again, this time health got much worse. The baby was put on Oxygen in the ICU and the doctor’s informed that a surgery needs to be carried out urgently to save this baby!

Mrs. Aartee and Mr. Sumit is the parents of baby Shivansh. Sumit works as a daily wage laborer and he merely earns enough to meet their ends. Sumit is the only earning member of his family who is taking care of a family of four. With a daily income of merely Rs.250 - Rs.350, the family can manage only basic household expenses and medicines for the child.

To all of you reading this, Shivansh needs this heart surgery!
