Arbaj After Surgery

Struggle Converts into Success

Ye mushkilein, Ye kashmakash... Ye jaddojhad, Ye dushvaariyaan... A ye Zindagi, tu laakh nakhre dikha... T ujhse Ishq hai… Toh hai... ! - Gulzar  Arbaj, a small child has proved that he loves his life immensely which has been gifted to him by God since he has been leading the battle from 6 years to just breathe. Arbaj who had been diagnosed with a hole in his heart in 2014, suffering from the deadly condition used to struggle everyday with a bright smile. Imagine just being 8 years old and discovering the fact that you suffer from one of the worst diseases. It will break your heart and Arbaj had suffered with it each and every day and even his parents. But he was brave enough to fight. The only thing that we require today is EMPATHY. Arbaj along with his parents had been running to and fro from Bihar and Delhi to end his struggle of 6 years to just breathe. Coming from a poor socio economic background it was very difficult for his parents to fund his treatment expenses of Rs 80,000 for Angiography. The doctors at AIIMS had asked them to deposit the amount in December but due to the helplessness it had become very difficult to raise the amount. He had missed the operation date once and agony continued still. Arbaj missed the operation date in December again due to the lack of funds and such a situation was dangerous it was aggravating his health. The doctors again gave a date in Mid-January and the fate of his life was to be decided by the amount gathered. Due to the grace of you all donors, we are extremely delighted to inform you that Arbaj has been successfully operated and has not missed his operation date anymore due to lack of funds. The generosity showered upon him is an example of kind deed. It's not the amount that matters what you donated, but what matters is your intention to help him to stop his struggle. This has also put to the rest the mental pressure and agony that his parents suffered in the tough times. To empathise with someone’s pain, is one of the biggest qualities in the world.   Dream Girl Foundation always believes in the saying “where is a will, there is way”.We relentlessly worked hard to gather the amount as we understand the meaning of life. Although the journey was long for Arbaj but at the end of the tunnel the sunshine was awaiting him eagerly to bask in it and start a new life! With this, he will again start to his studies and lead a normal life post all treatment, which is a sheer happiness for him and us too. Discharge Summary & Payment Receipt
Arbaj-Heart Patient

“TO AVERT A DEATH, WHAT IS NEEDED? ONLY A BREATH?”

Arbaj hails from Bihar and after all the diagnosis doctors said that he suffers from Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), in simple terms it means a hole in the heart, and oxygen-poor blood flow out of the heart and into the rest of the body and is a very rare disease and suggested to take him to Delhi urgently for further treatment. Arbaj has been constantly fighting to breathe smoothly like you and me. The doctors at AIIMS have given an approximate amount of Rs 80,000 for the treatment, Rs 60,000 for surgery and Rs 20,000 for Angiography but his parents being helpless due to their socio-economic conditions haven’t been able to gather the funds. His father is a poor laborer earning just meager to survive and mother being a housewife, you can imagine gathering such a huge amount is next to impossible for them. Even if they take a loan it put them into grave debt as they have look after the post treatment too. So, here the best option would be, we crowdfund the amount and help Arbaj breathe and have a new life. We humbly request you to help the needful as it would be the kindest to do.

Let’s celebrate Diwali differently this year?

Diwali apart from being a festival of light's is also a festival for lighting up the lives of the people. While a lot of people were revelling in the Diwali celebrations, I was driving through the roads of Delhi, to spend my day and celebrate Diwali in a completely different manner. I had no clue how my day was going to be, the only thought I had was that I am going to celebrate Diwali by doing something good for the society instead of bursting crackers. The moment I reached this beautiful venue, I was greeted with charming smiles, bear hugs, and a truck full of energy. The aim of every person in their life shouldn't be all about earning money or materialistic happiness, giving back to society will give you unmatchable satisfaction. One should not neglect their responsibilities towards their community as they grow. The reason why I decided to celebrate Diwali at an NGO was that I always wanted to give back to the society, and the best way of doing this is to make the children feel happy who don't have the luxury to afford the things which we take for granted. Entering a place like an NGO is going to make you feel calm and surreal, plus it will make you feel as if you are one of the most blessed humans on earth because you have got what these kids don't have Everything was so surreal that I felt at home! Trust me when I say this spending time in an NGO you are going enjoy little things in life, and bringing smiles onto the face of little ones is a feeling that you are not going to forget. The way they see you while you are showering them with gifts is so heart touching that you feel like spending eternity with them. The experience of doing social work is unbeatable. You can play games instead of bursting crackers played! So, you can spend this Diwali by playing with kids and bringing smiles on their face instead of bursting crackers and creating pollution. You can have Rangoli competitions, have antakshris, dance parties, etc. etc. Now the reason behind playing these collective games is that they feel validated. They think that someone is looking out for us and is trying to bring us together. The kids feel like they are needed and loved, even though it will be an hour or three kinds of a moment, but for them, it's going to stay forever. A lot of kids in the NGO are rescued or are picked up from unimaginable places. Some of these kids have experienced incredible things. Just a small gesture like a smile or even a hug can lighten them up. Think about it?                                                          Let's have sweets and gifts, shall we? By the time you are done with games, you would need the energy to continue for the day. By now, the environment of the NGO would be completely different, and everywhere you will see kids giggling or running around here and there. It's better to end the day on a sweet note. So you can distribute sweets, have a meal with kids and make this Diwali the best one for them. Plus whats Diwali if you are not giving out gifts? You can give a small token of love and trust me the little ones are going to cherish this forever and remember you for their rest of the lives. Selfies and goodbye hugs, plus who doesn't like pecks on their cheeks by kids? Remember a hug from your loved when you were young would brighten up your day? Or a peck on the cheek from your mom would make you feel loved? Saying goodbyes, by giving hugs is the best thing you can do. The feel of warmth is going to stay with you forever! Also, who doesn't like to click selfies? Click selfies with them say goodbyes in a happier note. Not only you would make their day, but you are going to enjoy everything yourself too. In the end, I would like to say! KarkeDekho! Achalagtahai !! - Written by Shagun Azad

Struggle Converts into Success

When all unite for a cause then undoubtedly achievement comes in. We are delighted to notify you that Nand Kishore Gupta, who was diagnosed with tumor in right kidney, and required chemo and radio therapy, has now been saved. He will now live a long and vigorous life because of the contribution by you and many other people alike. Nand Kishore got victimized of the same problem twice- firstly, when he suffered from high fever and constipation, and was taken to local doctor where he underwent an ultrasound test; it was not cured there. He was brought to Sir Gangaram hospital, Delhi where all the tests were done, and his right kidney was operated and removed as the tumor was growing rapidly. His father (Prem Shankar Prasad) who was a cab driver arranged Rs. 3 Lakhs himself thinking of his son’s quick recovery. Secondly, In February 2019, Nand Kishore faced this difficulty again severely. After consultation with Dr. Shyam Gupta, it came out that tumor had spread to the left Kidney, and he suggested as Nand Kishore was surviving on a single kidney the only option left was chemo and radio therapy which had to be performed at Sri Gangaram hospital. Nand Kishore’s father couldn’t afford the treatment of his son which he did previously for Rs. 3 Lakhs, and our organization Dream Girl Foundation was approached for the assistance. We started the campaign, and all the funds were successfully submitted at Sir Gangaram hospital, Delhi. With the help of this fund the main step of Radiotherapy is completed at BLK Hospital and now only very few chemotherapies are needed and in next 4 months treatment of Nand Kishore will be successfully completed. We are much thankful to all the donors who supported and contributed for this cause which came out to be victorious.

A Little Empathy changed Divyanshu’s Life

“Misery turns into devastation when the poverty becomes the reason for losing life.” Munendra Kumar and Lakshmi Devi are parents to the only son Divyanshu. When Divyanshu was born, it was a blessing for both parents. However with this blessing, also came an unknown circumstance. Divyanshu’s body used to turn blue in colour whenever he cried. Divyanshu’s father, a labour worker along with wife Lakshmi took Divyanshu to see a doctor. Doctors kept running tests for more than a month and found out that the child has a hole in his heart and that if soon he is not operated, it could endanger his life. After this they took him to AIIMS hospital where after running some tests, Dr Anita Saxena assured the parents that their son will soon recover. But all was not well. Divyanshu was not getting any better due to which he could not be operated and since then he was kept in hospital for 5 years for blood transmission. Finally after 2 months and 20 days he underwent surgery which costed the parents around Rs 50,000/- which they were able to pay by themselves and their relatives. For his second surgery for recovering his heart valves which were blocked would cost him Rs 65,000/-. It’s a very common happening that difficulties pour upon those who are already suffering a lot in their life. This situation was totally commensurate with that of Divyanshu. His family has already exhausted all their savings. . With utter sadness & a little hope in eyes, Divyanshu’s family approached us for the help. As it’s a saying that “Hope sustains Life” & thus their Hope turned out to be faithful towards Divyanshu. We at Dream Girl Foundation along with the extended support provided by the Donors helped to raise the required fund for his surgery & his operation proved to be successful in AIIMS Hospital. The deep rooted feeling of Empathy exhibited by our Donors played a major role in the upliftment of Divyanshu’s dismal spirit & now he is leading a normal happy life with his family.    

Rutbah got a New Life

In today’s fast world where nobody has time for anyone, we must not forget our duty as humans and contribute our share to humanity. A person’s most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to help. It is thanks to kind-hearted souls like you who come to the rescue of those in need and become their ray of hope. Rutbah Gastali, a young girl of 7 years was diagnosed with Gastric Cancer. She was undergoing treatment in the hands of Dr. AnupamSachdevaat Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi where she had to undergo several cycles of chemotherapy. The total cost of treatment remaining was Rs. 5 Lakh to Rs. 6 Lakh. Rutbah’s father, Mr. Fyaz Ahmad worked as a driver and earned a meager amount of Rupees 6000 a month which was not enough to bear the expenditure of the treatment.Her mother, Mrs. Parveena is a housewife. These parents brought their child all the way to Delhi from their hometown in Jammu & Kashmir and approached DGF to help cure their daughter. Dream Girl Foundation has played another successful role in raising donation for this young girl and has gifted her a second life. We on behalf of DGF would like to thank you for showing such a big heart towards Rutbah as she has had a successful bone marrow transplant surgery and is recovering well. By helping one person you cannot change the world, but you have definitely changed the world for that person.
