Heart surgeries performed on children cost typically cost between 2.5L to 5L depending on the case and complexity. The Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar (RBI) in association with the Needy Heart Foundation have partnered with 2 of the top hospitals in Bangalore and are now able to impact & make these surgeries available at a much much lower cost of close to 1.2L INR. Of this they will contribute 40000 INR and the balance will be raised by the hospital through government subsidies and from grants from other people & from other NGO’s.

Help me raise 40,000 INR and save a child's life!

The money raised will be given to the folks at the Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar & they will pay the amounts to the two hospitals – Jayadeva Hospital & Fortis Bangalore. Once the money is given to the hospital they will use it to save the life of a poor child and share the details with me. I shall then send you an update about the child we have saved so that you know where your money has gone.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE THAT BENEFITTED FROM A SURGERY

ABOUT ME & THIS CAMPAIGN:

My name is Harshada Ravishankar, I am a 14-year-old studying in the 9th grade in Delhi Public School, Yelahanka Bangalore. I have signed up on FuelADream as a part of the DPS Big Hearts collective to raise funds to make sure that one underprivileged child receives free heart surgery. The partnership with the Rotary means that the cost of the surgery is subsidised to INR 1.2L, I need to raise INR 40,000 in order to save one kid’s life. Net of the crowdfunding charges 35000 INR + will be given to the Rotary who will then transfer the same to one of the two hospitals. The balance amount will be collected/raised by Jayadeva & Fortis Hospitals through government subsidies and their own donor network that includes other NGO’s & individual funders.

Pic : That's me 

I have undertaken this campaign because I don’t think children belong in hospitals. Doing this ensures that one more child gets a chance to go out and play rather than suffer at home. Further, I believe that healthcare is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone irrespective of their financial condition.

The motto of Delhi Public School is ‘Service Before Self’ and in order to show our dedication to our school’s motto, we have joined the ‘Big Heart’ campaign to champion underprivileged children that need urgent cardiac surgeries. We are doing this with 2 reputed institutions of Bangalore:

OUR PARTNERS:ROTARY & NEEDY HEARTS 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 Rotary (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.

FAQs

FAQ’s:

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

Yes. After the money has been collected it will be transferred by FuelADream to Rotary who will then give it to the hospital. It will take from 30 to 60 days after that to get details of who the beneficiary child was with details of her parents , her picture etc. Once I get this information from the team at Rotary & Needy Hearts ( as they collaborate on this) I shall upload this on the UPDATES section of this campaign. You will then get an alert & can read details about the beneficiary.

What are the crowdfunding charges?

FuelADream charges 2% for the payment for the payment gateway and 7% as crowdfunding charges. With service tax the total comes to 10.3%. There is also an initial fee of 3000 INR which is being waived for us. Of the 40000 INR a net amount of 35880 INR will be transferred to the Rotary Foundation.

When do I get the receipts?

It takes a week after the campaign is closed for the monies to be transferred. The receipts will start getting processed about 2 to 3 weeks AFTER the campaign is closed and will be sent to you directly .

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 a FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.

Weekly Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
