Sri Sai Yogesh, a 6-year-old child from Nirmal district, Telangana, India, comes from a humble background. His mother, Ms. Swati, works in beedi rolling and earns a meagre income of approximately Rs. 6,000 per month. Yogesh’s father deserted the family when he was just 6 months old. Swati, along with her widowed mother and grandmother, manages to make ends meet with modest family income. Yogesh also has an older brother, who is 8 years old.
Yogesh was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect just three days after birth at a government hospital. The doctors informed Swati that the condition might improve slowly over time, but it still required attention. However, due to her financial constraints, Swati could not afford to take him to a specialty hospital for further treatment.
Yogesh is currently studying at the local government school in his village. One day, Swati received information from his teacher about a free health camp being organized by Rainbow Children’s Heart Institute in collaboration with the district hospital. Without hesitation, Swati rushed to the camp with Yogesh. After a thorough examination by the doctors, it was determined that Yogesh needed to undergo immediate cardiac procedure.
Given her limited financial resources, Swati was unable to afford the surgery. However, with the support of Pure Little Hearts Foundation and funding from Linkwell Telesystems Pvt. Ltd./VisionTek, the full cost of Yogesh’s cardiac intervention was covered.
Yogesh underwent a successful cardiac catheterization procedure on 8th March 2025 and recovered well. Today, he is back in school and looking forward to a bright future, aspiring to take care of his mother one day. Swati is immensely grateful to Pure Little Hearts Foundation and Linkwell Telesystems Pvt. Ltd/VisionTek for their generous support in restoring Yogesh’s health.
This case story highlights the resilience of Swati as a single mother and underscores how the generosity of donors can transform the lives of children like Yogesh. Their support gives children a chance at a healthy and hopeful future.
