Help Make A Difference - You Will Save A Child's Life

 

BABY SAGAR

Baby Sagar is just over a year old. But to his worried parents, it seemed like much longer. Ever since he was born with a Ventricular Septal Defect, Sagar had been in and out of hospital with frequent severe chest infections. Medicines brought them under control - but they kept recurring often. Doctors advised surgery. But there was a problem. The operation cost Rs.67,500 - and the family income was only Rs.500 a month! Things looked pretty bleak - but no one had factored the power of a "Chain of Love" which would stretch across the world, reaching out with a lifeline to save the little boy. With the contributions of generous donors who overwhelmingly supported the Heart Kids Blogathon, Sagar's operation could be funded. With his defect successfully repaired, the little boy is now a bundle of joy to his family again. "We almost lost him. Now we treasure him a lot more for it" says his delighted mother. Score one more win for the Blogathon donors!

Now let's Meet Ajay Kumar...

In the short time the Dr.Mani Children's Heart Foundation has been in existence, we have raised around $12,000 in donations which has been used to sponsor heart operations for four children.

But there are miles to go before we sleep...

For every Sagar, there are hundreds of other children waiting hopefully for a stroke of luck.

We cannot help them all.

But we sure are going to try.

Who knows... with your help, we might work miracles!

Our Heart Kids Blog Marathon 2004 has a specific focus. We want to help these kids. We're sure to do it. We're counting on your support.
