1-year-old Sheik Majarul Ali is suffering from a congenital heart disease. The baby should undergo an open heart surgery to survive. He hails from a poor family and is unable to afford the treatment. This has put the child's life in danger.
At 10 months, his growth was affected due to his heart condition
When Majarul was just 10 months old, he was diagnosed with this heart condition. His parents noticed that he didn't make any noise and didn't show any growth in the 10th month. His body was always cold.
He was taken to the local hospital and doctors suspected it was a heart disease. Further examinations confirmed this. With the advice of few relatives and neighbours who faced a similar situation, baby Sheik was taken to Apollo Hospital in Bengaluru.
His father is street vendor who barely earns Rs.500
