"Sunita held her baby for 4 seconds before they took him away"

Sunita Chavan had waited a very long time for this moment. She had felt every kick. She had whispered to baby every night while she stitched clothes on her sewing machine, the only source of income her family has.

  • Medical Condition

    The treating pediatrician, Dr. Kedar Malwatkar, has confirmed in writing that the baby needs at least one more month of intensive care — continuous oxygen support, optimal nutrition, and management of complications from prematurity, anaemia, and apnea.

    Diagnosis:

      Prematurity — born at 30.5 weeks (full term is 40 weeks)

        Very Low Birth Weight — 1100 gms

          Severe Hyaline Membrane Disease (also called Respiratory Distress Syndrome / RDS)

            Anaemia of Prematurity

              Apnea of Prematurity


              Treatment given so far:


                Surfactant therapy (to help his immature lungs stay open)

                  Mechanical ventilation

                    CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) support

                      Antibiotic prophylaxis

                        Parenteral nutrition (IV nutrition because he is too small to feed orally)

                          Multiple PCV (Packed Cell Volume / blood) transfusions


                          Treatment still required for the next ~30 days:


                            Continuous oxygen support

                              NICU-level monitoring

                                Optimal nutrition management

                                  Active management of complications from prematurity


                                  The total cost: ₹5,27,000.

                                  Sunita is still recovering from her C-section. But she hasn't left the hospital. She sits next to the incubator every day, watching her son breathe with the help of a machine.

                                  The family has nothing left. The sewing machine cannot pay this bill. But you kindness can help them.

                                  Dear Donors,
                                  Thank you for your kindness and support for baby of  Sunita Chavan.
                                  It has been over two months since this tiny boy — born ten weeks too early — began his fight for life at Borneo Hospital, Nashik. In that time, his mother Sunita has not left his side. She sits by his incubator every day, watching, waiting, and praying — even as she continues to recover from her own C-section.
                                  Back home, her husband Pravin holds the household together, caring for their six-year-old son who needs constant attention and supervision. The family has been quietly split in two — one parent at the hospital, one at home — doing whatever it takes to keep everything from falling apart.
                                  Sunita's sewing machine — the family's only source of income — has been silent since the day her baby was born. There is no earnings coming in. There is only a hospital bill that continues to grow.
                                  The baby continues to receive intensive medical care and monitoring at the NICU. His journey is still ongoing, and the road ahead remains long and uncertain.
                                  Your support so far has meant more to this family than words can say. We request you to please continue standing by them — and to share this campaign with anyone who might help.
                                  With the family going through such a difficult situation, we sincerely urge everyone to continue extending their support in whatever way possible.
                                  Regards,
                                  Medical Social Worker,
