Lost my mum at birth, struggling to survive with current heart condition
We lost your mum but can't afford to lose you so soon Shivaay. Generous help needed for urgent heart surgery.
Auckland
Thank you for taking time to read baby Shivaay's story.
Shivaay Kumar born in April 2020 in Fiji, lost his mum at birth Shivani Kumar (28yrs) still very young. It had been very tragic and shocking for the whole family and friends. Now Shivaay is stuggling to survive.
Doctors have diagnosed him with Artrial Septal Defect and Ventricular Septal Defect. He has got 3 holes in the heart which needs urgent heart surgery at Starship hospital in New Zealand before his other body organs start to fail. Baby Shivaay is in very critical condition and had not been gaining weight since birth. He is unble to feed well. We are really heartbroken. 😢😢
The total cost of entire trip to NZ including surgery, airfares and staying in manged isolation for 14 days is costing nearly NZ $77000. Ministry of Health is funding part of the cost ($57000). Since Shivaay doesnt come from a wealthy family, I am pleading everyone's generous donation to help Baby Shivaay to save his life.

Shivaay is my nephew 3 months old.
Use of funds
To be used towards cost of airfares, surgery, travel costs oxygen supply, medicines during the flight, if isolation cost arises in NZ. Any excess money can be used in Fiji when baby and his dad returns staying in isolation if it doesn't get funded.
