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 B.J. Wadia Hospital for Children that is located at Parel in Mumbai is performing these surgeries at a much much lower cost of between 60000 INR to 1.5L INR 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 30000 to make surgery happen. It is Asia's biggest paediatric charitable hospital.
HELP RAISE INR 30000 AND SAVE A LIFE.
The money raised will be given directly after the campaign ends to the B J Wadia Charitable Hospital - Mumbai. 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 & THIS CAMPAIGN
My name is NYSA JAIN. I am 16 years old and in Grade 11 at Jamnabai Narsee International School, Mumbai
My classmates and I got to know about crowdfunding and how we can save the lives of children who come from the economically weaker classes of society. It definitely sounded like something I would want to do. While all of us complain about how things around us need to improve, very few of us actually get to do something about it. Furthermore, millions of families cannot afford something as basic as health care for their children. If you told me that we could actually save the life of someone, I would have been amused.
But here I am now trying to do exactly that and all I request you to do is fund a small amount so that we can together make a difference. The fact that heart surgery can be done at such a low cost is another reason why I decided to do this campaign. Children shouldn't be sitting at home and suffering from such severe health conditions. Moreover, doing this campaign successfully ensures that one more child gets a chance to go out and play rather than suffer at home. Lastly, I believe that healthcare is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone irrespective of their financial condition.
Please help me spread the word and donate a small amount so that we can together save the lives of children!

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & 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.
