It’s the best feeling, holding your newborn in your arms knowing they have their entire life ahead of them, knowing you will watch them grow. But what if you can’t? What if just a few months after your baby is born you were told that there is no future for your baby?

Mamatha and Vikas’ son is only 4-months-old and he needs an urgent heart surgery in the next 24 hours to survive. This is their story.

For Mamatha it feels like just yesterday that they celebrated Yuvi’s birth. He’s their first child, after all. She often wonders how this came to be. How in just a few months her son is fighting for this life in the ICU – with just one day left to live.


We’ve left everything behind to get him treated

“You can see how swollen his eyes are…that’s because of all the infection. It’s been one month since we’ve come here. We haven’t left the hospital since he got fever that day. I can see how much pain he is in…as his mother, there’s nothing I can do. It’s the worst feeling.” – Mamatha, mother



It’s terrifying isn’t it, to think that a regular fever led to such a scary diagnosis? Baby Yuvi has a heart disease due to which the blood flow from the heart to the lungs is blocked. He can’t breathe.

"Right now, every rupee counts – but I haven’t earned anything in weeks"

Vikas and Mamatha haven’t left the hospital in a month, which means it’s been a month since Vikas has earned any money. He’s a daily wage labourer, and every rupee he earns counts – especially now.

“But I can’t leave. We’ve tried for weeks to continue his treatment, and now he has just 24 hours to have the heart surgery. It can save his life, it will give him a chance…I can’t afford it. I don’t have anything in savings. This is not something we ever prepared for…” – Vikas, father



Tomorrow, baby Yuvi’s life can change. He can be free from the severe pain he’s been in for the past few weeks, but only with your help. Baby Yuvi has 24 hours to get heart surgery. You can save his life.
