THE PROBLEM
Congenital heart disorders are ailments that affect children at birth and at a young age. According to experts, one in every hundred children suffers from a heart ailment. Heart surgeries performed on children cost typically between INR 2.5L to 5L depending on the case and complexity. This makes it hard for parents from low-income communities to be able to give their children a healthy life.
THE SOLUTION
The Apollo Children's Hospital in Chennai is performing these surgeries at a much much lower cost of between INR 1.10L - INR 1.85L depending on the complexity. Grants and other donors and subsidies from paid surgeries will take care of part of the costs. We need just INR 40000 to make one surgery happen.
FUND GENEROUSLY:
INR 40,000 WILL HELP SAVE A LIFE.
INR 80,000 WILL HELP SAVE THE LIVES OF 2 CHILDREN.
INR 1,20,000 WILL HELP SAVE THE LIVES OF 3 CHILDREN.
ALL FUNDING HAS 80G BENEFITS.
Once the money is given to the hospital they will use it to save the life of a poor child and share the details with me. I shall then send you an update about the child we have saved so that you know where your money has gone.

ABOUT ME AND THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is Rohith I am 16 yrs old and a Grade 11 student at CPS Global.
I'm an extremely passionate student who has a love for the law. I've been working hard these past few years to make sure my passion ends up being my future.
As a side job, I have been teaching young underprivileged kids mathematics and english, in an NGO (KKSS).
All through my life, giving back has been my biggest priority, and making something good of myself has been one too. I am extremely thankful to have been educated by those at CPS Global. I absolutely love it there, and I hope I can offer my help and assistance to Fueladream. I would be glad to be a part of something of this magnitude. I understand Fueladream changes lives, and I'd love to be a part of it.

FEEDBACK THAT YOU GET
To ensure that there is complete transparency I shall get a report from the NGO ( this takes between 1 to 2 months usually after the funds are raised and transferred to them) telling me who benefitted from the funding. The details will then be posted on the UPDATES section of my campaign and will be in a format like the one below. As soon as I post an update, the platform will send an EMAIL alert to all the funders - i.e to you. Click on the link on the email and you can read about which child benefitted. That's transparent right?

How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept and is growing very quickly.
It’s s concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream is a crowdfunding site and platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations and ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation and you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on a FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
