One month ago when Sapna and Sagar got to know that their baby boy, Shivam won’t survive without a surgery, they couldn’t believe their ears. ‘It’s not possible,’ Sagar said, ‘He had pneumonia, he doesn’t need a heart surgery.’ It took him several days come to terms with the fact that his son is born with a heart defect. Now he is running from door to door, begging them to help him save his son. 

Breathing trouble, frequent fevers - the symptoms were there but no one noticed

Sagar is a daily wager in a small village near Ludhiana. For Sapna and Sagar every day was a struggle. Sometimes, they didn’t have food to eat but when they knew that Sapna was pregnant with a child - they started saving up.
 

“We have seen hardships our entire life - we didn’t want our son to go through the same. But now we are told that without surgery, he will not make it to his next birthday. I wish we knew before that the frequent fevers and the cold were signs of something so dangerous,” - Sapna, mother.

My daily wages aren’t enough for our everyday meals, how can I afford the surgery?

Shivam’s fever doesn’t seem to go for the last one month. He has a severe cough and cold - often he chokes while he is coughing. He is too weak to even feed. A hole in the upper chambers of his heart doesn’t allow him to breathe properly. Now he needs surgery - that is his only hope.
 

“I earn Rs 200 a day, often I can’t even feed my own family. How will arrange for 2.5 lakhs for my son?”

With your help, Sagar and Sapna can bring back their baby boy home.
