"We tried everything. We begged and we prayed. Now we've accepted it. No miracle or blessing is going to save our son. We simply do what we can and leave it to fate. That's it."
It's been eight months. In the life of two-year-old Kritik, it feels like forever. It's the only life he knows; one where he cries all day and night, unable to express his discomfort and pain in any other way. His skin and eyes are dull and his cheeks are hollow. The little child lost his youth-like chubbiness months ago.
It began when Ankur, Kritik's father, noticed that his baby had been crying nonstop for too long. His instincts told him the cries weren't normal. He took Kritik to several hospitals in Ludhiana and Delhi where they were repeatedly turned away with the statement that their child was not suffering from "anything serious".
Finally, Fortis Hospital in Delhi told him that Kritik's heart was unable to pump out enough clean blood to supply his entire body.
The
only
treatment
that
can
save
him
now
is
a
heart
surgery.
But
that's
not
all.
"A
healthy
2-year-old
is
supposed
to
weigh
10
kg.
My
Kritik
weighs
6
kg.
His
heart
is
failing
his
body,
and
all
we
have
been
able
to
do
so
far
is
watch
helplessly."
Doctors say that Kritik is far too underweight to be able to take on such a serious surgery. To be able to qualify for the procedure, Ankur needs to provide his child with sufficient nutrition and medication to help him gain a healthy amount of weight. Coupled with the heart surgery, this will cost him Rs 5 lakh.
Ankur earns a living by installing and repairing gas cylinders in Jalandhar, Punjab. His income is far from stable, but he is nowhere close to giving up. He has spent a fortune towards the tests that diagnosed Kritik already, with help from family and friends, though they are not much better off than him.
"My
wife
and
our
Kritik
are
my
world.
It
would
break
me
to
lose
either
of
them."
A

No
one
can
loan
him
the
money
and
