Impactguru.com helps 1 year old Anas win the fight against Fatal Brain Damage
Anas, the 1 year old son of Ismail was rushed to the hospital during midnight a few weeks ago after suffering an alarming seizure. After careful examination of Anas, the doctors found that a blockage in Anas’s brain was obstructing his breathing and causing the seizure.
The doctors rushed Anas to surgery immediately but had to abandon the procedure midway asAnas began bleeding profusely and his blood pressure dropped to a dangerous low. Surgery was no longer an option till Anas’condition was stabilized. As the Doctors debated over the next course of action, the cost of monitoring and treatment surged upto Rs.18 Lakhs.
Ismail has already been struggling to support three children and his wife on a driver’s income. He burnt up all his savings and had no plan how to mobilize the funds to save his son. This is when India’s best crowd funding platform ImpactGuru.com offered to help Ismail by creating a fundraiser for him. Ismail expressed his feelings saying “I earn no more than Rs 12,000 a month and my wife is a homemaker. I had been saving up for my sister’s marriage, but we wiped out whatever little I had collected on my son’s treatment. When Impact Guru approached us to help us raise funds, it was a blessing in disguise”.
In the week that Anas family began crowdfunding,their story had already won over 800 hearts. Within just 10 days after the fundraiser launched, they’d collected Rs. 17.28 lakhsalong withcountless heartfelt messages that poured in from across the Globe.
As of September 2018 Anas blood pressure has risen to a healthy level and his condition has stabilized. The Doctors are confident that Anas is well on his way to recovery and will be discharged very soon. Anas’ parents were extremely overwhelmed by the ImpactGuru.com donors and were quoted saying “We are thankful to all our donors on Impact Guru. We will always remember you in our prayers”.
