Appeal for Baby of Mrs. Pournima Kshirsagar
Dear Supporters,
Today, we are reaching out
to you with an urgent and heartfelt plea for support on behalf of a fragile one-month-old baby girl, the daughter of Mrs. Pournima Kshirsagar. This precious child is in a critical condition, suffering from severe malnutrition, with a birth weight of just 970 grams and complications including respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Her life is hanging in the balance, and she urgently needs our help.
India faces an alarming rate of malnutrition among its population, particularly affecting vulnerable infants and children. According to the National Family Health Survey, nearly 35% of children under the age of five are underweight, and 38% suffer from stunted growth. This stark reality highlights the urgent need for collective action to combat malnutrition and save countless young lives across the country.
Baby Kshirsagar’s situation is a harrowing example of the critical issue of malnutrition that plagues many families in India. Despite their love and dedication, her parents, Mrs. Pournima and Mr. Kshirsagar, are unable to provide the specialized care and medical treatment that their newborn daughter desperately needs. The cost of her treatment at KEM Hospital in Pune is a staggering 600,000 INR—a sum that is far beyond their financial means.
At the Millennium Welfare Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a healthy start to life and the opportunity to grow and thrive. It is our mission to support families like the Kshirsagars, who are struggling against overwhelming odds to give their children a chance at life. That is why we are reaching out to you, our compassionate and generous donors, with an urgent appeal to join us in supporting Baby Kshirsagar during this critical time.
The Critical Need
Malnutrition is a severe condition that can lead to lifelong consequences, including impaired cognitive development, weakened immunity, and increased susceptibility to diseases. In Baby Kshirsagar’s case, her extremely low birth weight and complications from RDS put her at immediate risk of serious health issues and developmental delays. Without the necessary medical intervention, her chance of survival diminishes with each passing day.
The Broader Impact of Malnutrition in India
Malnutrition remains a significant public health issue in India, affecting millions of children across the country. It is not just a matter of hunger or lack of food, but a complex issue involving inadequate maternal health, poor access to healthcare, and socio-economic challenges. Addressing malnutrition requires a holistic approach that includes improving maternal health, ensuring access to nutritious food, and providing timely medical care to those in need.
The case of Baby Kshirsagar highlights the urgent need for comprehensive efforts to combat malnutrition and support vulnerable families. Your support can help us make a significant difference not only in the life of this one child but also in the broader fight against malnutrition in India.
