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

 

VINODH

8 year old Vinodh was on NDTV, a cable TV channel with nation-wide viewership. When the interviewer asked what he was going to do now that he had had his heart operation, the little boy said: "I'm going to take good care of my mom." Abandoned by her husband when her son was a toddler, Vinodh's mother managed to get by as a daily-wage construction worker. Her meager income of Rs.500 a month barely managed to feed her two children. Heart surgery for her son would cost a mind-boggling Rs.65,000. So Vinodh's heart, burdened by a Tetralogy of Fallot, struggled on. Until he received a heart operation when donors to the Dr.Mani Children's Heart Foundation pitched in to contribute the funds for Vinodh's surgery. The grin of joy on the little boy's face matched the tired smile of relief on his mother's - and make all the effort of raising funds well worthwhile! You, dear donor, have reason to be proud of yourself. You helped a child live.

Now let's Meet Sagar...

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 Vinodh, 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.
