We’ve been through this before when our twin boys were born prematurely two years ago. Now, history repeats itself as our daughter was born prematurely in the seventh month.

My husband, Abdul, is a driver, earning barely ₹600 per day. Abdul’s mother lost both her legs in an accident and now depends on a wheelchair. Over the years, we have exhausted every rupee we had saved over the years and borrowed from wherever possible, but there’s only so much we can do.

The cost of our baby’s NICU treatment is INR 20,00,000.00. We’ve already spent ₹5 lakhs on my surgery and the baby's care previously, but now, we are running out of resources.

It all started on the night of July 27th. I wasn’t feeling well, but I never imagined it would turn into something so serious.

Suddenly, I started vomiting and bleeding. My twin boys were sleeping in the bedroom, and I didn’t want to wake them. But Abdul quickly ran to our neighbours’ house, and they came to help me right away. One of the neighbours assured me she would take care of our twins and told Abdul to take me to the hospital.

At the hospital, when the doctors ran tests, their concern was clear. They told us that my blood was flowing in reverse, putting both my life and the baby’s at risk.

“The baby’s heartbeat could stop at any moment,” they said. Those words kept echoing in my mind. I held onto Abdul's hand, wishing I could take away all the pain.

After being monitored for a few days, the doctors decided I needed an emergency C-section.

As they got me ready for surgery, I saw the fear in Abdul’s eyes. I whispered, “Promise me that the baby will be okay.” He nodded, trying to stay strong, but I knew he was scared too.

When I heard my baby’s first cry, I felt both relief and fear. She was a beautiful baby girl.

But she weighed only 500 grams and had trouble breathing, so she was immediately rushed to the ventilator. I wanted to hold her, to comfort her, but I couldn’t. 

All I could do was pray, hoping she would survive so we could bring her home.

We haven’t been able to focus on our twin boys, Ayaan and Adnaan, and as a mother, I want to take them in my arms and never let them go. I miss being by their side too. 

I want to be there for them and comfort them, but I’m still recovering from my surgery.

Abdul has been staying at the hospital, showing his love and determination every day. “I’m here for both of you, Yasmeen,” he tells me, but I can see the exhaustion in his eyes.

Abdul doesn’t talk about the financial struggles, and when I try to ask him about the bills, he just says he’s spoken to someone about it. But I know him well enough to tell when there’s hope and when there isn’t. I haven’t seen any hope on his face these past few days.

Adding to our struggles, Abdul's mother lost both her legs in an accident and needs care, which breaks my heart. I wish I could do more for her, but I can't.

We’ve sold all our gold and relied on help from relatives and friends. Each day feels like a battle, and the stress is overwhelming. 

The amount of INR 20,00,000.00 is too big for us. Over time, we have spent a lot on our twins’ recovery after their birth, my mother-in-law’s treatment, and now my daughter's care. With Abdul's earnings of just ₹600 a day, how can we afford this?

If you can, please consider supporting us in saving our precious child. Your support could make all the difference.
