Little Iliyas Kathat was born in Ajmer, Rajasthan — a bundle of joy for his parents. Like any other baby, his first smiles and giggles filled their home with happiness and dreams for his future. His parents imagined him running, playing, and growing strong, unaware that his tiny heart was already fighting a silent battle.
At just 3 months old, Iliyas began turning blue and struggling to breathe. Doctors diagnosed him with a severe congenital heart disease — Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with CAVSD. Since then, his life has been a constant fight for every heartbeat.
Instead of toys and laughter, hospitals and oxygen tubes have become part of his daily routine. His father, a daily wage labourer, has done everything possible — selling what little they had — but the ₹3,40,000 required for his urgent heart surgery is far beyond their reach.
Your kindness can help Iliyas’s heart beat stronger again. With timely donations, he can undergo the life-saving surgery at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, and finally breathe freely for the first time.
Together, we can turn his story from one of pain to one of hope — giving this little fighter the healthy heart and happy childhood he truly deserves.
