Stories Of Strength & Hope
Sunil Jamra
At 10, Sunil had lived with cyanosis and breathlessness since age two, a burden his tribal farming family could not afford to treat. He underwent complete surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot at Vishesh Jupiter Hospital, restoring near-normal cardiac function. His oxygen saturation rose from 78% to above 98%, freeing him from years of debilitating breathlessness.
Ananya Malviya
Ananya's heart carried two rare defects — a Sinus Venosus ASD and a misconnected pulmonary vein. Her family in Indore had waited since her infancy for a chance at corrective surgery. A complex dual procedure restored normal pulmonary venous return and closed the defect, giving Ananya near-normal cardiac anatomy for the first time in her life.
Kriti Sisodiya
At nearly five, Kriti lived with a 20mm hole in her heart — too large for a catheter-based fix, making open-heart surgery her only option. Surgery by Dr. Ashutosh Singh closed the defect and included neuro-rehabilitation support. Kriti was discharged in stable condition, sitting upright with her care team.
Manvika Sendhav
Manvika, the youngest beneficiary at just one year old, already bore the burden of a large VSD — chest infections, poor weight gain, falling oxygen levels. Surgery to close the defect restored normal heart function at the critical age when repair benefits are greatest, giving her a foundation for healthy growth.
Baby Ashwika
A donor-funded pediatric cardiac screening caught Ashwika's large 19mm ASD before it could cause lasting harm. Enrolled for elective corrective surgery, she is expected to make a full recovery with normal biventricular function restored — proof that early screening changes outcomes before symptoms take hold.
Baby Mahima Bhilala
Mahima's moderate Patent Ductus Arteriosus was closed through a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure — no open-heart surgery required. The procedure was uneventful, and she was discharged within two days, free of any cardiac symptoms. A short hospital stay made a lifetime of difference for her heart health.
Aravinda Kirade
Aravinda Kirade, a 7-year-old child, was diagnosed with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve, a complex congenital heart defect. He successfully underwent corrective heart surgery on 11th December 2025 at Jupiter Hospital. This milestone was made possible by a contribution of ₹1,50,000, supporting one of our youngest and most vulnerable patients.
Naitik Sadhwani
Naitik's family noticed recurring cough, poor weight gain, and feeding difficulty since birth. At just one year old, he underwent VSD closure with RVOT resection using a transanular patch. Extubated the same day as surgery, he was discharged breathing easily for the first time — a moment his family had waited a year to see.
Baby Pruvrika Sen
Pruvrika's family had watched their toddler tire faster than other children her age. A large PDA was placing steady strain on her growing heart. A PDA device closure procedure relieved that strain, and she was discharged in a stable condition — free of the burden that had slowed her down.
Baby Vedika Mali
Vedika underwent a PDA device closure procedure to relieve the strain a persistent blood vessel had placed on her heart. The procedure was uneventful, and she was discharged in stable condition — captured smiling alongside the very team that cared for her, a second chance delivered one beat at a time.
Dhruvansh Patidar
Dhruvansh's large VSD, causing severe pulmonary hypertension, was caught early through a community cardiac screening camp in Dewas. That timely diagnosis enabled his family to seek elective surgical correction well before the defect could threaten his long-term health, significantly improving his prognosis at just ten months old.
Mitansh Yaduvanshi
At just five months old, Mitansh's large VSD and severe pulmonary hypertension made his condition critical for an infant so young. His parents travelled from Narmadapuram for early surgical closure. Performed while he was still an infant, the surgery gave him the best possible start, protecting his lungs and heart.
Indra Telange
Identified through community outreach as belonging to a low-income family, Indra's household needed financial assistance to access urgent cardiac surgical care. Comprehensive care coordination and donor-funded support ensured this family was never turned away — protecting a loved one's health when resources alone could not.
Baby Aashvi Verma
Aashvi, a bright 4-year-old girl, was born with a moderate-sized hole between the chambers of her heart. Her parents, from a modest background, could not afford the life-saving surgery she needed. Thanks to donor support, Aashvi underwent successful VSD closure and is now thriving, with normal cardiac function fully restored.
Hitesh Nayak
Born with a large 9mm hole in his heart causing severe pulmonary hypertension, little Hitesh faced life-threatening risks every day. At under six months old, he successfully underwent open-heart surgery combining VSD closure with RVOT band division, and was discharged with improved cardiac function.
Baby Harsha Ranawat
Three-year-old Harsha suffered from frequent colds, cough, and palpitations caused by a large 16mm hole in her heart's upper chamber. A minimally invasive, catheter-based device closure gave her a second chance at life without open-heart surgery. She was discharged in stable condition within just two days.
Baby Navmika Bourasi
Navmika presented with one of the most complex congenital heart conditions on record — a sinus venosus ASD combined with abnormal pulmonary vein connections and valve stenosis. Her successful multi-structural repair required exceptional surgical skill and was completed with generous donor support.
Baby Kavya Lavlesh Kumar
Sweet little Kavya battled a ventricular septal defect from birth. Her parents, daily wage workers, had no means to afford the surgery she needed. With donor-funded support, Kavya received timely surgical intervention and is now recovering beautifully, discharged with good cardiac function restored.
Raghav Vishwakarma
Weighing just 6.3 kg, two-year-old Raghav carried the burden of a moderate VSD causing volume overload on his heart. A minimally invasive, catheter-based device closure — made possible by donor generosity — has set him on a path to growing strong and healthy.
Tavish Sharma
Barely nine months old, Tavish had a persistent open blood vessel that should have closed at birth, placing dangerous strain on his heart. A minimally invasive PDA device closure procedure gave this infant a healthy heart and a bright future, leaving him hemodynamically stable at discharge.
Daivik Chauhan
Young Daivik underwent cardiovascular surgical correction at Vishesh Jupiter Hospital for a congenital heart condition. Generous donor contributions covered a significant portion of his hospital costs, giving his family timely help that would otherwise have been out of reach. He was discharged in stable condition after recovering in the PICU.
Kashwi Parmar
Kashwi underwent a VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) Surgical Closure — a complex and critical cardiac procedure. This life-changing surgery was made possible through a generous contribution of ₹1,50,000, giving Kashwi an entirely new lease on life. Her recovery stands as a testament to what compassionate support can achieve.
Aaryan Sisodiya
Aaryan Sisodiya, a 10-month-old baby boy, was diagnosed with VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect). He underwent a closure surgery on 11th December 2025 at Jupiter Hospital. A contribution of ₹1,50,000 helped make this life-saving treatment possible for one of our youngest and most vulnerable patients.
Aradhya Meena
Aradhya Meena, an 8-year-old girl, was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect (ASD), a congenital heart condition that required surgical intervention. She underwent a successful ASD closure surgery on 11th December 2025 at Jupiter Hospital. A contribution of ₹1,50,000 made this possible for one of our youngest and most vulnerable patients.
Ruchika Malakar
At just 4 years old, Ruchika underwent an ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Surgical Closure with OPV at Jupiter Indore Hospital. Her remarkable journey from a critical diagnosis to full recovery showcases the urgent and lasting impact of donor support. A contribution of ₹1,50,000 made this possible for one of our youngest and most vulnerable patients.
B/O Shubhashini
Mrs. Shubhashni's 3-month-old baby is recovering well in Bangalore after a successful cardiac procedure and time on a ventilator for severe breathing issues. However, the family is facing extreme financial hardship and urgently needs help to cover the ₹15,00,000 medical bill.
