At just 15 years old, Naveen from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, should have been enjoying his childhood, focusing on his studies, and dreaming about the future. Instead, he and his family were facing a reality no parent should ever have to experience — the fear of losing their child’s chance at a healthy life because they could not afford his treatment.
Naveen was diagnosed with Tricuspid Atresia with Single Ventricle Physiology, a serious congenital heart condition. Doctors at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, advised an urgent Fontan (TCPC) surgery, along with cardiac catheterization and other essential procedures. The estimated treatment cost of ₹3,68,000 was far beyond his family’s means.
Behind Naveen’s medical struggle was another heartbreaking story. His father once worked as a driver, earning a living through hard work and providing for his family with dignity. But a road accident left him partially paralyzed, affecting the movement of his hands and legs and taking away his ability to continue driving. The man who had once worked to secure his family’s future was now struggling with his own physical limitations.
Despite his condition, he continued working as a small farmer, doing whatever he could to keep his family going. With an annual income of only around ₹1,20,000, even meeting daily necessities was difficult. Arranging lakhs of rupees for his son’s heart surgery felt like an impossible dream.
For Naveen’s parents, every hospital visit carried both hope and fear — hope that their son could receive treatment, and fear that financial difficulties might stand in the way.
At a time when the family felt helpless, Jan Sanjeevni Trust and its compassionate donors stepped forward to support Naveen’s treatment.
For his parents, this support meant more than financial assistance. It meant that they were not alone in their struggle. After witnessing the difficulties their family had endured, they could finally look ahead with renewed hope that their son would get the medical care he needed.
With support from people who cared, Naveen moved closer to the treatment that could make a difference in his life. What once seemed beyond his family’s reach began to feel possible.
Sometimes, a little help can lift a burden that a family has been carrying for years. For Naveen’s parents, that help brought a reason to believe again.
