Sonia and Amit’s baby was prematurely born in the 8th month of pregnancy. It led to many complications.

He fought death and is getting better
Within a few days in the ICU, their baby’s health started to improve and he started gaining weight.“When he was born he was just a few grams but now he is 1.5 kgs. I know it’s still very low but it is so much better than before. I could have lost him but he stayed and fought death.” - Sonia
However, his life is still in danger
“I can’t afford the treatment anymore. I am just a helper in a kirana store. I don’t get enough to afford even one day's cost of his treatment. But I managed it so far by taking advance salary and loans. But I don’t have any source left and he needs the treatment for 1 more week. I don’t want to lose him now... after so much struggle, I just can’t lose him.” - Amit
