When Shreyash was just 2 years old, his family got him through his first open-heart surgery, a VSD closure and Aortic Valve Repair, clinging to the hope that it would give him a normal life. But the years since have been filled with recurring symptoms and repeated hospital visits, and his condition has now reached a point where further surgery can no longer be delayed.

Doctors at Fortis Hospital, Mumbai (approximately 2 km from Mulund Railway Station, Central Line), have advised a Redo Sternotomy with Aortic Valve Replacement or Ross Procedure. The estimated cost of treatment is Rs. 4,35,000 (Rupees Four Lakh Thirty-Five Thousand Only).

Hanuman works as a helper in a temporary private job, and the income is barely enough to run a household of five. Pratiksha is a homemaker, and two of their children are currently in school. With no savings and no stability, arranging this amount feels like a crushing burden. Yet, every day, this family holds on to the hope that their son will get the help he needs.
