My name is Swapna. I married Rajasekhar for love, even when our families worried because of our different beliefs. Two years later, I thought my happiest moment had arrived when I finally became a mother to twins: a little prince and a princess. But instead of cradling them in my arms, I stand outside the NICU glass, watching their fragile chests rise and fall with the help of machines. I ache to hold them close, yet all I can do is pray as they fight for life inside those incubators.

My little boy weighs only 1 kilogram and my little girl barely 1.2 kilograms. They were so delicate that doctors rushed them into the NICU before I could even whisper their names or feel their warmth on my chest. Every day I see them with tubes and wires attached, fighting to survive when all I want is to wrap them in my embrace. Doctors say they will need at least one full month inside the NICU before they can grow strong enough to come home. Until then, their fragile bodies depend entirely on medical support.

Rajasekhar and I come from very poor families, yet we gathered everything we could to keep the treatment going. We borrowed nearly three lakhs in loans, but it is not enough. Each passing day adds more bills, and I cannot explain the helplessness of watching the amount grow higher than we can ever repay. My heart aches not only from the pain of childbirth but from the fear that money could decide whether my children survive.

On the days when he gets work, he earns barely four to five hundred rupees. That small amount feeds us and pays for basic needs, but it can never cover the enormous hospital costs we face today. We already exhausted every source of help around us. Our relatives are also struggling to make ends meet. Even after pushing ourselves to the edge, we can no longer afford the treatment our twins desperately need to stay alive.

These are our first children after years of waiting, and their lives depend on continuing treatment inside the NICU. Only your support can give them the chance to grow, to laugh, and to know the love of their parents outside these hospital walls. Please, I ask you with all my heart... help us save our babies and give them the chance to live.
