Baby Afdan’s Brave Fight Against Critical Heart Defects
Baby Afdan is a five month old infant who is fighting for his life every single day. He was born with multiple complex congenital heart defects that severely affect the functioning of his heart and lungs, making even basic survival a challenge. His medical diagnosis includes Transposition of the Great Arteries, Ventricular Septal Defect, Patent Ductus Arteriosus, and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Together, these conditions prevent oxygen rich blood from circulating properly in his body, placing immense strain on his fragile heart.
Doctors have clearly stated that Baby Afdan's condition is critical and life threatening. After detailed medical evaluation, specialists at Fortis Hospital, Manesar have confirmed that only an immediate Arterial Switch Surgery along with VSD and PDA closure can save his life. This surgery is highly time sensitive. Every passing day increases the risk to Afdan's survival, and any delay may lead to irreversible complications or loss of life. At just five months old, he is too young to understand his suffering, yet he continues to fight silently with every breath.
The estimated cost of this life saving procedure is ?2,90,000. With the support of Fortis Hospital, a concession of *25,000 has been extended, reducing the amount required to ?2,65,000. For Afdan's family, arranging this amount urgently is beyond their means, making external support essential to proceed with the surgery in time.
Through Project Little Heartbeats, Raise India Foundation works to ensure that children born with congenital heart diseases receive timely medical care and a fair chance at life. Since the launch of this initiative, we have successfully supported the treatment of several children, including Mitanshu, Amrita, Satyam, Baby Aarvi, Baby Raj Kushwaha, and most recently Baby Kavyansh. Each of these cases reinforces our belief that timely intervention can transform lives and save futures.
Today, Baby Afdan needs that same chance. Your support can help arrange his surgery and give him the opportunity to grow up healthy, play freely, and live a life beyond hospital walls. Every contribution, regardless of size, brings him closer to a functioning heart and a future filled with possibilities.
All medical reports, hospital estimates, and supporting documents related to Baby Afdan's case are available for reference. Donors are also welcome to meet Afdan and his parents at the time of hospital admission, as Raise India Foundation remains committed to complete transparency, accountability, and ethical use of funds.
We humbly appeal to you to come forward and support Baby Afdan's surgery. Your compassion can help save a life, strengthen a family, and give a child the most precious gift of all, a healthy heart and a chance to live.
