FACTS: Paediatric Orthopaedic surgery, an art of correcting and preventing deformities in children.  Initially developed with attention to children, the correction of spinal and bone deformities in all stages of life eventually became the cornerstone of orthopedic practice. 

Pediatric Orthopaedic surgeries cost typically between INR 2 to 5 Lakh depending on the case and complexity. What if just INR1 L can transform a life?

Read on to discover how. I am doing this crowdfunding campaign in partnership with the People Tree Foundation. They are able to perform these very complicated pediatric orthopedic surgeries that usually would cost about INR 2 to 5L for a much lower cost of around 1L INR. The same has been achieved because of the kind-hearted surgeons who are waiving off their fees for the operation and a 20% CSR allocation made available by People Tree Foundation. We need just 1,00,000 INR to make a surgery happen.

Please fund this campaign and lets together transform a young life and bring a smile to the parents and siblings of this child. This campaign has 80-G tax benefits as the receipts are issued by People Tree Foundation which is a non-profit.

HELP ME RAISE 1,00,000 INR.

The money raised will be given directly after the campaign ends to People Tree Foundation. They will then fund surgeries at the People Tree hospital for the transformation of a poor child and share the details with me. I shall then send you an update about the child so that you know where your money has gone.

CASE STUDY

From being unable to walk to the Kho-Kho team captain

Anjum could not walk as she had a deformed back (it was twisted like an S). Now thanks to some really high-tech surgery she is able to lead a normal life and even captains her school Kho-Kho team in Gulbarga. Concerned citizens like me are raising funds for surgeries like this through a crowdfunding campaign.

ABOUT ME

 

Mr. Yuvakumar has retired from ITI, Bangalore after a glorious stint of 35 odd years of service. A keen lover of Karnatic Music he now spends his time pursuing his passion and is a loving grandfather.

While all of us complain about how things around us need to improve, very few of us actually get to do something about it. It's all talk and no action. If you told me that we could actually transform the life of someone, I would have been amused.

But here I am now doing exactly that. I request you to fund a small amount (big amounts are welcome too) and lets together make a difference. The fact that orthopedic surgeries of a complex nature can be done at such a low cost is another reason why I decided to do this campaign. I have undertaken this campaign because I don’t think children belong in hospitals or should suffer because of a birth deformity.

Doing this ensures that one more child gets a chance to go out and play rather than suffer at home or feels ostracised by those at school. Further, I believe that health care is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone irrespective of their financial condition. Please also do spread the word on social media so that others can chip in too.

ABOUT PEOPLE TREE FOUNDATION:



HOW CAN YOU HELP?

We are raising this money to cover the costs of their surgery & the smallest contribution you make will help save their lives. The funds from this campaign will be transferred to People Tree Foundation (since they are a registered NGO & you get tax benefits) & they will in-turn route it to the concerned hospitals. Once the campaign ends, regular updates will be posted to keep the funders abreast of which child received the surgery, the outcome of the surgery and the progress of the child’s condition.

ABOUT THE HOSPITAL

The surgeries are done at the People Tree Hospital which has world-class facilities and surgeons.

The Hospital is the brainchild of a group of highly skilled, internationally trained doctors who sought their homeland to make a difference. They envisioned a hospital which is patient focused; the doctor has driven; peer respected and employee empowered. PEOPLE TREE hospitals were born on ‘Vijayadashami’ day in October 2013 with a bold Vision to Touch Move and Inspire a billion people. The vision focuses on the health care needs of the growing 1.2 plus billion people of our nation. The hospital’s unique Mission to serve each and every one the way they would want their own family and friends to be cared for; immediately bridges the gap between the caregivers and the patient. This transformation brings personalized, ethical and affordable health care of the highest quality to the forefront, renewing the trust between the caregivers and the patients.

PEOPLE TREE Hospitals with its Flagship hospital, PEOPLE TREE Hospitals at Yeshwanthpur, soon became the preferred healthcare destination for all the locality and within a year of inception was awarded India’s most promising and valuable hospital by Pharma Leaders 2014. Further, the hospital has been given the status of one of India’s 25 Best Hospitals by CEO Insights 2018. The hospital also is certified by the National Accreditation Board of Hospitals [NABH] Safe I for its safe infection control practices and NABH certified Diagnostic Laboratory, consecutively each year from its inception.

TAX BENEFITS:

Funding for this campaign is eligible for tax breaks as the People Tree Foundation is a registered trust & you can avail of benefits under section 80G of the IT act. Foreign funding is also accepted.


FEEDBACK THAT YOU GET

To ensure that there is complete transparency I shall get a report from the hospital (this takes between 1 to 3 months usually after the funds are raised & transferred to them) telling me who benefitted from the funding. The details will then be posted on the UPDATES section of my campaign and will be in a format like the one below. As soon as I post an update, the platform will send an SMS and EMAIL alert to all the funders - i.e. to you. Click on the link on the email and you can read about which child benefitted. That's transparent right.



FAQs

Will we get to know details of the child who benefitted?

Yes. After the money has been collected it will be transferred by Fueladream to the People Tree Foundation It takes from 30-90 days after that to get details of who the beneficiary child was with details of his/her parents, picture etc. Once I get this information I shall post this on the UPDATES section. You will then get an SMS & email alert & can read details.

What are the crowdfunding charges?

Fueladream charges 3% towards the payment gateway fee and 9% as crowdfunding charges. With GST the total comes to 14.16%. Nett off all these fees - you still get to transform the life of a child. There is also an initial fee of 3000 INR which is being waived for us.

When do I get the receipts?

It takes a week after the campaign is closed for monies to be transferred. The receipts get processed about 2 to 3 weeks AFTER the campaign is closed and are sent to you by email.

How does crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.

It’s s concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an Idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream is a crowdfunding site and platform in India that allows for such a pooling of funds.

You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.

Weekly Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
This is an open forum for all funders of this campaign.
