Ketki

Three-month-old Ketki (name changed), the youngest of three daughters in a Maharashtra farming family was struggling with severe breathing issues. Ketki was diagnosed with a complex heart defect that required expensive surgery. The family, impacted by lockdown restrictions, faced financial challenges. Bhaskar (name changed), the sole earner, dreamt of a healthy future for Ketki but lacked the funds for her treatment. Ekam Foundation Mumbai’s partial funding for the surgery became a lifeline, lifting a significant burden off Bhaskar’s shoulders. “Ketki is my youngest daughter. We felt very helpless seeing her fight this severe disease. Thankfully, we received your support on time,” expressed Bhaskar to Ekam Foundation Mumbai after Ketki’s successful surgery. The picture captures Ketki’s journey towards a healthier life.
