Help Vijaya Fight For Her Heart!
Vijaya has come a long way from there. Even though she had to drop out of school, it has not deterred her from her desire to learn. Last year, she graduated from a course organised by FICCI Floh in Cooking to help women start small businesses. She had to overcome many barriers to achieve this goal – her fear of learning in a formal set up having dropped out of school at such a young age, travelling alone to classes, picking up a new language – but she persisted and persevered. This is who Vijaya is - a hardworking and caring woman, friend, and mother who is trying to make the most of life even when she knows her health is on the downturn.
After she was diagnosed four years ago, Vijaya has been on medication to “manage” her condition. However, all the doctors who she has consulted have indicated that surgery is the only solution. As an adult, surgery for this condition is risky. So, Vijaya has been avoiding it because she wanted her children to complete school, especially her daughter Sandhya. This has meant regular doctor appointments and many emergency visits in the middle of the night for years now. With support from Priya Pillai, a friend whose house and life Vijaya manages, she has been able to access good medical care that has allowed her to work and move forward with her life.
However, earlier this year, Vijaya’s heart stopped supporting her life and routines. With Sandhya (her daughter) in college, Vijaya is now willing to consider surgery. She has already undergone the preliminary procedures. Money to cover these expenses and the doctor’s visits over the past 4 years were raised by Priya from her personal networks. However, there is only so much one person can do. We are reaching out to you with the hope that you will be willing to donate some money – however small – so that a young woman can go on to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Thank you all for the support and love.
We have some unfortunate news to share with you all, Vijaya is no more due to kidney and lung failure. She fought for her life till the end but her body could not cope well with the postoperative complications that developed due to prolonged ventilator exposure. She leaves behind two children, a college going girl child and a 19 year old boy. When she was alive, she held up many families including her dead younger brother's orphaned kids, and her own parents. Your donations have helped pay for part of the hospitals costs and we extremely grateful for your support.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

We wanted to share some somber news with all of you. Although Vijaya's surgery was able to repair her heart valve, she has developed unexpected post operative complications. As a result, she has been on continued ventilator support and has had a dual chamber pacemaker inserted to help her. Doctors have also done an early stage tracheostomy to aid better treatment. However, she is fighting pneumonia and is at the point unable to breathe on her own. We are anticipating prolonged hospitalization and Critical Care Unit, and are thus increasing the fundraiser amount to INR 5,00,000.
We appreciate everyone who has donated to our campaign and would like to encourage you to share this widely within your social networks to help us raise this money.
Thank you once again!
