	D-1847    India - Kolkata Healing Little Heart $50,000 To provide heart surgeries for little children from poor income families. Thousands of children in India are born with a hole in the heart and unless this anomaly is addressed through surgery the child cannot live beyond a few years. Surgery however can ensure a healthy and long life to the child. The fear of loss of life of the children plunge the poor family into darkness and the only ray of hope is surgery which is beyond the capacity of these poor families. The cost of surgery is $ 1500 to $ 3000 depending on the complication whereas the average income of such families is about $ 50 – 70 per month. Surgery therefore, is impossible for them without help from us. We have negotiated with hospitals to bring down the cost of surgery to Rs (INR) 50,000/- equivalent to $ 1086 per patient. The project envisages heart surgeries for 46 children over a period of 12 – 15 months.
