“We come from a poor family background and we manage our life with great difficulty. A medical
treatment is impossible for us to afford. We never even thought that our little child would fall prey to
this. I feel like crying whenever I see him in the hospital. A surgery of the heart for such a small child is so
painful.”-
Gourav Swain is the only child of Mr. Gyanendra Swain and Mrs. Mansi Swain hailing from Jajpur in
Odisha. The father works at a Pan shop and earns around Rs 6000/- per month to support his joint
family. At 7 months of age, Gourav started facing issues in breathing and he was taken to Shishu Bhavan in Cuttack for medication. After undertaking scans and tests, the doctors suggested a surgery in a heart
specialty hospital.
The parents visited different places for help but could not find any relief. The father was recommended
by a fellow villager to take his child to Care Hospital in Hyderabad. The patient is now admitted and
diagnosed with Large Sub Aortic VSD, Mild PS. The doctors have suggested a complex open heart
surgery for Gourav. The estimated cost of the treatment is Rs. 3,50,000/- (Rupees Three Lakhs and Fifty
Thousand only). The family is struggling to source help of such a huge amount. They are scared they
might lose their only child. Please help them.
“I had a lot of faith in God and I visited a lot of religious places to find support. But I am so helpless.
People are not willing to give me a loan as I already have to repay an amount I had lent for farming
purposes. Gourav is so serious, he does not even eat anything. Please donate so that we can get him out
of this condition.”
