We never imagined that silence could take over our home like this.

Our son Kartik is just 2 years old. Our daughter Shrisha is 6. They should have grown up filling our house with laughter, questions, and endless chatter. Instead, we slowly began to notice something was different.

Kartik wouldn’t respond when we called his name. Loud sounds didn’t startle him. At first, we told ourselves he was just too young… maybe he would catch up.

But deep down, a fear had already started to grow.

When we finally got him checked, our world came crashing down. Kartik was diagnosed with severe hearing loss.

And then came the second blow.

Our Shrisha… our little girl… she too has been living in silence.



As parents, nothing prepares you for this. Watching one child struggle is unbearable… but seeing both your children unable to hear the world around them breaks something inside you every single day.

They can speak. They try to communicate. They smile, they laugh in their own way… but they cannot hear our voices. They cannot hear “I love you.” They cannot hear stories, music, or even danger.

We call their names… and there is no response.

That silence is the hardest thing we live with.

Doctors have told us there is hope.

A cochlear implant surgery can give both Kartik and Shrisha a chance to hear. A chance to live a life where they can go to school, make friends, and truly connect with the world around them.

A chance to hear their parents’ voices for the very first time.

But this surgery is far beyond what we can afford.



My husband works as an electrician and earning a few thousand a month. It is barely enough to run our home. We have no savings, no support system, and no way to arrange such a huge amount on our own.

Yet every night, we hold onto one hope—

That one day, our children will turn when we call their names.

That one day, they will hear our voices and smile.

We are not asking for much. Just a chance for our children to hear… to live… to belong.



Please help us give Kartik and Shrisha the gift of sound.

Your support can turn their silence into a world full of voices, laughter, and life.

Without a cochlear implant,

their world will remain silent forever!

This campaign for a single patient can be converted into a multi-patient campaign, subject to the performance of this campaign. Once the funding requirement of a specific patient is met, multiple other beneficiaries can be helped through Impact Guru.

Should I wait for an organ donor before starting a fundraiser?

You need not wait for donor or have the organ ready. We actually suggest you start a fundraiser as soon as you can so that you are ready with the acquired funds and can get the surgery done immediately when you do receive an organ.

How can I track the impact of my donation?

Generally, most campaigners are reminded to leave updates on their fundraiser regarding the progress of their cause, whether it’s a nonprofit project or the health of a patient. You will get an email every time an update is posted. Alternately, you can use the "Contact campaigner" option on the fundraiser page to directly get in touch with the campaigner and understand how your donation benefited them.

Once the requirement of this patient will be met, any remaining funds will ultimately go towards helping other needy patients in line with Impact Guru's mission of helping save as many lives as possible.

Whose account will the funds be transferred to?

For all medical fundraisers, the funds will be directly transferred to the hospital’s account. Only in a few cases, based on Impact Guru’s discretion, the funds might be transferred to the campaigner or the patient’s account for postoperative or at home expenses.

In cases, where the funding requirement of the patient changes due to factors such as death, change of treatment plan on advice of hospital, delay in treatment, medical complications, Impact Guru utilizes the funds to help similar patients with the mission of helping save as many lives as possible.

Does Impact Guru help in promoting campaigns?

90%+ of Impact Guru’s campaigns raise funds leveraging our do-it-yourself fundraising platform.

The Accelerate initiative of Impact Guru caters primarily towards those individuals who are unable to create or manage their own fundraiser due to lack of education, access to smartphones, or social networks for fundraising support. Impact Guru provides fundraising support in such cases by maximizing outreach, leveraging all fundraising channels. In order to provide crucial life saving support to such patients, Impact Guru charges marketing cost paid to such third parties and its regular platform and payment gateway fees. Impact Guru's constant endeavour is to reduce such outreach costs to maximize social impact of every contribution.

Who should I contact if I have more questions?

If you have more questions or need assistance to start a fundraiser, you can send us an email at [email protected]

What is the verification process for fundraiser & fund transfer approval?

We strive to obtain comprehensive documentation related to the patient's medical care and expenses. We communicate with the patient / campaigner / hospital(s) and/or medical institutions and may verify & collect all documents related to the patient, including but not limited to itemized bills, medical certificate / estimate, admission report, discharge summary, medical records, and expense documents.

We reserve the right to conduct physical visits and/or photo/ video verification as deemed necessary. Such verification measures may apply not only to patients but also to vendors, medical institutions, and other relevant parties, as applicable.
