Hi, I am AKARSH PRASHANTH of Class 9th at the Chrysalis High school on the Whitefield - Kadugodi Road in Bangalore.

Me and my classmates got to know about crowdfunding and how we can use that to raise awareness and funds for those who need help. We decided to help children who come from economically weaker sections of society and need critical life surgeries. The team from Fueladream told us how this works and taught us about how to manage a campaign. It definitely sounded like something I would want to do as helping someone out is what any good human being should.

While all of us complain about how things around us need to improve, very few of us actually get to do something about it. It's all talk and no action. If you told me that we could actually save the life of someone, I would have been amused.

But here I am now doing exactly that. I request you to fund a small amount (big amounts are welcome too) and lets together make a difference. The fact that a heart surgery can be done at such a low cost is another reason why I decided to do this campaign. I have undertaken this campaign because I don’t think children belong in hospitals.

Doing this ensures that one more child gets a fresh lease of life. Further, I believe that health care is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone irrespective of their financial condition. Please also do spread the word on social media so that all those who believe in making this world a better place can chip in.
