My name is Janya Velani . I am 16 years old and in Grade 11 at Jamnabai Narsee International School, Mumbai.

I got to know about crowdfunding and the ways in which we can save the lives of underprivileged 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 minimal 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 every child gets a chance to go out, play and enjoy rather than be isolated and left to suffer at home. Lastly, I believe that healthcare is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone irrespective of their financial status.

I request you to help me spread the word and donate a small amount so that we can together save the lives of these sweet souls!
