My son is going through a lot of pain. From the day he was born, he had been suffering. We could do nothing to relieve him from pain and now doctors have asked us to arrange for an open-heart surgery or else he will die.

We had our 1st daughter after 4 years of marriage. Arush is our 2nd kid. We were very happy to know that we were blessed with a baby boy but our happiness was very short-lived. He was a premature baby. He was in ICU for around two weeks before we could take him home. Within a week his condition deteriorated again. He had a very bad cold and his mother noticed that he had trouble breathing. They took him to a hospital where he was given some medicine for 3 months. His parents followed the instruction and kept Arush in regular medication for 3 months. His condition didn’t improve so they went to another hospital. The test reports here proved that Arush has a hole in his heart.

Arush’s father works in a shop with a very meager salary. He cannot arrange for such a huge amount of money needed for the open-heart surgery. Now for 6 months, our son is in medication to reduce pain. But it is just a temporary solution. He needs an open-heart surgery to survive.

My son is just 13-months-old. He has suffered from the day he is born and now I cannot even arrange for the money needed to save his life. I feel very helpless seeing my son suffer every day but it’s very little that I can do to get him out of the pain.

Arush needs an open heart surgery to get a healthy life. The surgery will cost around 3.7 lakhs which is a huge amount for the family to arrange for. They have left everything in Udupi and has to stay in Bangalore for Arush’s treatment. Doctors have assured them that Arush will get back a normal healthy life after the open-heart surgery. The only hindrance in the path of Arush getting a healthy future is the money needed for the surgery.
