9-Month-Old Baby Needs An Urgent Heart Surgery

Story
Updates (1)

Rabin and Mithu struggled for almost four years to have a child. Due to Mithu's health condition, she was unable to conceive. It was after a lot of prayers and medical difficulties that Bishal was born. The joy of having a baby did not last too long for the couple. Within 21 days, Bishal was diagnosed with a congenial heart disease. It's been nine months now. He needs to undergo a moderate risk heart surgery to lead a healthy life.

Rabin works at a small shop and earns around 4 thousand a month, while Mithu does small handicraft work to make around five hundred a month. This helps the family of 5 (inclucdng Rabin's parents) sustain themselves.

The total cost of the surgery is Rs. 3,00,000. Rabin had planned to arrange around 2,00,000, but has hardly been able to collect a lakh. They would still need almost 1,75,000.

Any delay adds an increased risk to baby Bishal's life. He will only survive if the surgery is done at the earliest.

Your support can save this baby's life.

Dear All,

Firstly, we sincerely apologize for the late update and secondly, we have some good news to share.

We thank each one of you for supporting Bishal’s campaign. Life is back to normal for Bishal and his parents.

His surgery was a successful and an uneventful one. Bishal is currently doing well and is back home. He needs to be on medication for a while. He also had fever for a couple of days, but unlike before, his fever reduced immediately after medications.

He is also slowly gaining weight and is almost a kg now😊. He needs to be taken for regular follow-ups for another 3-4 months.

Rabin and Mithu are grateful to every supporter for their contributions and prayers. This would not have been possible with out you.

Thank you once again.

Here are some recent pictures of Bishal- Our hero.

Best,
Team Milaap.
