MUMBAI, 17 SEPTEMBER, 2019 (GPN):

Six months old baby Piyush was suffering from rare liver infection Biliary Atresia, a condition in which the liver is not completely formed and is blocked. Piyush was admitted at Mulund Fortis, Mumbai. Piyush’s father abandoned him and the single mother is taking care of her son all by herself. The doctors shifted him to the ICU. Piyush’s condition is now extremely critical and his abdomen is bloated. He needs an urgent liver transplant which will cost Rs 20.5 lakh.

With all God’s grace and financial help through crowdfunding on ImpactGuru.com Piyush’s operation will soon take place. ImpactGuru.com has managed to raise the expected amount in just 12 hours on the platform. The campaign was raised on the platform by Humans of Bombay.https://www.impactguru.com/fundraiser/save-baby-piyush

Healthcare crowdfunding is an alternative method of raising funds online for medical expenses, with the patient (or his/her friends or family) primarily relying on social media networks to mobilize donors to finance the relevant medical bills. The additional advantage of crowdfunding is that patients do not have to repay that money back to the funders as the money provided online is a donation and not a loan.

ImpactGuru.com has become the largest crowdfunding platform in India for medical expenses. Over 20,000 patients have benefited from over 350,000 donors from ImpactGuru.com. Over Rs 400 crores/ US$60mm has been mobilized on our platform and by our strategic partners since inception. For more information, visit our website www.impactguru.com
