How Charitable Donations Online Help In Child Heart Surgery

-

When the lives of young children, the future of the world, hang in the balance due to a condition they have absolutely no control over, the future starts looking grey. In India, over 200,000 kids have a heart defect at birth, i.e, a Congenital Heart Defect, affecting their entire lives ahead of them. Most of them have to get not one but many surgeries of varying severity to combat this illness. Imagine the plight of a parent who has to see their child suffer from something as serious as a heart problem. To add to it, they find out the problem is critical and the child needs multiple rounds of life-altering  surgeries. Now, to add to it, the parents don’t have the affordability to fund the medical procedures. Just the thought of it gives you chills, doesn’t it? Here’s what we can do about it. Whilst we as individuals may not be able to directly provide the required medical aid to the child or reach out to the family, there is a way to help them alleviate their agony of having to see

Sanjay Modi’s Life-Altering Experience With the Genesis Foundation

This is a series of blog posts by eminent people from different walks of life focused on the act of ‘giving’, talking about their experiences and how ‘giving’ adds value to their life. The series is a result of experiences curated by Genesis Foundation , a not-for-profit that facilitates medical treatment for critically ill underprivileged children in the areas of Heart, Cancer & Thalassemia. ‘Giving’ is a strange thing. It ‘gives’ more to the giver than the receiver. I stumbled upon this unlikely truth recently.  Let me go back a bit before I tell you about the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of what I just said. As a professional and a business leader, I began the year with planning the year ahead for my organisation and myself. As a husband, father, son, I also made plans for my family. And yet, something in me was dissatisfied. Will this year go by like last year, and the years before?   Article Sources: https://www.thequint.com/voices/blogs/genesis-foundation-the-art-of-g

Salute Courage of Li’l Fighters With Heart Defects: Sanjay Kapoor

God has been very kind to my family and me – He has given us an opportunity to give back to society in our small way, and that is what we have been doing. However, I often felt that there was so much more that we could do directly and indirectly. And I realised that there is nothing more valuable than contributing one’s own time to good causes. Time is a finite resource, and the choice we make to give a part of it to a cause really makes a difference – not only to the cause, but also to us.  I have been associated with Genesis Foundation for over three years, participating in the fund-raisers, contributing to the cause. As the association grew stronger, so did the urge to do more. And then, on May 11, I woke up to a morning where I set out to meet four critically ill children (between the ages of 4 months to 11 years) suffering from heart disorders, and being supported by GF’s Save Little Hearts endeavour. My fervour was that of an impatient young kid – I couldn’t wait to ge
