    VIVEK TIRPUDE

    from Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh

My 36-year-old brother, Vivek, is fighting for his life in a prolonged coma. What was supposed to be a basic, routine finger surgery went catastrophically wrong. In the last 60 days, we have moved mountains and spent over ₹37 Lakhs just to keep him alive. Today, our family’s life savings are completely exhausted, and we urgently need ₹25,00,000 to continue his life-saving ICU care.
What Unraveled Our Lives
This is my personal fundraiser for Vivek. The anger and pain are overwhelming because this tragedy unfolded at one of the highest-bedded private hospitals in Balaghat. Their flashy advertisements, which we trusted, boast about "ultra-modern medical facilities" and expertise as a specialized "Neuro Surgery & Trauma Center" for critical emergencies.
Instead of expertise, we encountered a total failure from the entire medical team, including the surgeons, the anesthetists, and the hospital administration. It is unfathomable that a multi-speciality hospital, which advertises itself as the best for trauma, can allow a healthy young person to enter for a minor finger procedure and emerge in a coma. They converted a vibrant, healthy young man into a patient fighting for every breath. They broke our fundamental trust, and their negligence cost my brother his life as he knew it.
We had to desperately transfer him to Nagpur just to save his life. Due to their combined failures at the hospital in Balaghat, Vivek suffered a critical hypoxic brain injury. He is currently on a ventilator in the ICU at Bansal Hospital in Bhopal, under specialist critical care.
The Hope and The Man You Are Saving
Despite the darkness, there is a powerful ray of hope: Doctors believe that recovery is possible with sustained, long-term ICU support and the right care. Vivek is a fighter, but he urgently needs continuous medical intervention to wake up.
To the world, he is Vivek, but to us, he is 'Chhotu'—the youngest in our family, sabka laadla, and the absolute anchor for our aging parents, taking care of them every single day. He is the life of every room and a deeply emotional person who literally cried tears of pure joy at my wedding. After completing his Masters in Environmental Science, he worked tirelessly to build his dreams. Just one week before this nightmare began, he had proudly registered his own material processing company. He has his entire life ahead of him.
The Financial Reality
Our family is completely broken, emotionally and financially. We have poured in our entire life savings and tracked significant outflows from our accounts thanks to the immense financial support of our friends. We have spent an agonizing total of over ₹37 Lakhs so far—₹16 Lakhs at the hospital we first rushed him to after the incident, and an additional ₹21 Lakhs at Bansal Hospital just to stabilize him.
Right now, his daily ICU and medical costs range between ₹40,000 to ₹1,00,000. Today, we have nothing left to give. We need ₹25,00,000 to give him the chance to open his eyes.
How You Can Help
We are not asking for charity; we are asking for a chance to save a life that matters. I cannot look at my old parents and tell them we couldn't save their youngest son just because we ran out of money.

 Every ₹1,00,000 you donate secures a critical day of specialized high-end ICU care and life-saving interventions.

• Every ₹1,000 helps cover critical minutes of his care.

• Every share on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, or Facebook helps bring Vivek one step closer to waking up.
Please, stand with our family. Help us bring our brother back -
