My name is Ananya. 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!
