My name is Jaiwl Velan. 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. I would certainly want to contribute as much as I can for their well-being.Along with helping the children learning something new would surely be an exciting experience. It has always been amusing for me to learn a new skill or an activity, especially when it is for someone else’s good.

I have always been amused by the work of doctors. Observing doctors helping others for the greater good has allured me to work for a social cause. And what could be more gratifying than to help others by saving someone’s life. 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!
