Becoming a parent is one of those beautiful feelings that are one of a kind, unique, and unmatched. Be it in any part of the world, planned parenthood always brings the heavens down to earth for parents. Although it comes with its challenges and hardship, parenthood teaches new things a couple about the baby, humans, themselves, and life overall. Among all the bliss and happiness, parents’ worst nightmare is when their newborns fall prey to certain diseases or when they discover that their child is born with congenital deformities.
Out of all the congenital ailments, heart disorder is known to be the most common one that babies are born with. As per an Indian Pediatrics report, every year, more than 2,00,000 babies are born with heart disorders. It could be any of the most common ones like Ventricle Septal Defect, Aortic Stenosis, Pulmonary Valve Stenosis or others, these defects interrupt the regular functioning of the heart that leads to other deformities as well. The babies born with such heart disorders are called Blue Babies. They either need immediate medical support or have to undergo heart surgeries in order to survive. Some newborns even need ventilator support for them to keep breathing. These life-saving medical treatments can be expensive, and time consuming.
The underprivileged people whose children are born with such disorders find it extremely difficult to arrange the sum of money required which is in lakhs. They feel hopeless and seek help. Heart surgery crowdfunding has become a new concept. The majority of people are unable to afford costly heart surgical procedures. These procedures are so costly that they might easily consume someone's funds in a matter of days. In order to avoid this, sick families frequently turn to crowdsource websites for financial assistance.
