Chitti, a young girl from Vadicherla village in Vikarabad district, faced a life-threatening congenital heart defect from a very young age. As the eldest of four children, her parents, Gopal, a construction laborer, and Kavita Bai, a homemaker, struggled to make both ends meet. Despite years of seeking affordable surgery, the family could not find the help they needed. Chitti’s health worsened, and she lived in constant fear, unable to play or enjoy a normal childhood.
The turning point came when the family approached Rainbow Children’s Heart Institute, where doctors recommended urgent surgery for Chitti’s condition, a VSD closure. However, the estimated cost of over Rs. 3 lakhs was far beyond the family’s financial capacity.
At this critical moment, the Pure Little Hearts Foundation (PLHF) stepped in, providing life-saving support with the support of generous donors. Thanks to this generous aid, Chitti was able to undergo surgery on November 10, 2024.
The surgery was a success, and Chitti’s health was restored. During her recovery, she expressed her immense gratitude, sharing how she had once lost hope of a long, happy life. Chitti also created a heartfelt artwork to thank those who helped her. Inspired by the kindness she received, she now dreams of becoming a doctor to serve others in need.
Chitti is now healthy, with a future full of possibilities. Her story stands as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of compassion and the impact of generous actions in changing lives.
