I am fundraising for saving the lives of poor children who are suffering from congenital heart defects (CHD) in India and elsewhere.  India has the highest incidence of CHD, with more than 250 children dying each day, mainly because these poor families simply cannot afford the $5000+ cost of timely cardiac surgery. 

Heart to Heart (H2H) Foundation, chaired by the renowned Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, has partnered with the Sanjeevani group of pediatric cardiac care hospitals in India, to offer these surgeries free of cost to poor children.  Each surgery costs $1200 at the Sanjeevani Hospital, which includes post operative care, as well as parents stay with the child.  So far, over 7500 children's lives have been saved, however the waiting list is long.  We need to help H2H Foundation save more lives and bring happiness to these families.
