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
Hello! My name is Dhruv Chauhan. I'm 15 years old and in Grade 11 at Jamnabai Narsee International School, Mumbai. This campaign addresses a very sensitive, difficult and unfortunate issue faced by people all over the country.
Ever heard of the struggles faced by children of economically weaker classes, even in living their lives? Many of them are born with a malfunctioning, or slightly abnormal heart, which requires a very expensive surgery, normally ranging between ₹2.5 to 5 LAKH!
Well, I recently heard about it, and was shocked at the statistics. So, I began this campaign, to be able to help save these children's lives, and enable them to enjoy their lives, fit and fine like us. It's nothing complicated, unlike what you may expect.
What's more, with this campaign and B.J. Wadia Hospital's help, this huge cost has been reduced to a tiny fraction of itself: Only ₹60,000 - 1.5 lakhs per surgery overall!
There are literally millions and millions of families, just in India, who cannot afford something as basic as sufficient healthcare for their children. This is where we can step in. Together, we can raise funds. Together, we can save lives. Together, we can make a change.
Please help me spread the word by sharing the link and donate even a small amount so that we can together save the lives of these budding children!

How does crowdfunding work?
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. Fueladream is a crowdfunding site and platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & 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 & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on a FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
