Our twins are battling on the ventilator to live! Please help us save them

“We’re sorry, but because your twins were born early, they need ventilator support to help breathe in the NICU.”

When I heard this, I couldn’t stop crying. Ever since my husband and I got married, we dreamed of having children. Finally, after waiting for years, we were blessed with two beautiful babies. But we never expected to face such a challenge right after they were born.

My husband works on a farm, and USD 45,455.00 is a lot of money for us. But it’s what we need to save our babies and give them a chance to live a normal life. I keep wondering if people like us can ever gather this big amount and save our twins, our lifeline.

Five years ago, when we got married, we were excited about becoming parents.

Seeing other families around us enjoying parenthood made us hopeful that our children would bring us the happiness we’ve always wanted, despite our ordinary lives as farm workers.

But as time passed, we started losing hope because nothing seemed to work out. We tried seeking help wherever we could, and my husband took on extra work to save money to see a specialist.

Then, last year, when the IVF treatment finally succeeded and we found out that I was expecting not just one, but two babies, we were overjoyed beyond measure.

Those five years were the toughest time of our lives, but my husband and I never gave up on our dream of having a family. However, reality hit us hard after I became pregnant, and the pregnancy wasn’t normal at all.

I needed extra care, and my health started to decline. Every day, I feared losing my babies, and my husband and in-laws prayed for us day and night. Then, when the seventh month of pregnancy began, my health worsened suddenly, and I was rushed to the hospital.

I was admitted, and a few days later, an emergency delivery had to be done to save all three of us.

“You’ve given birth to two beautiful boys! However, they are underweight and struggling with breathing issues, along with other symptoms of premature birth. The estimated cost of their treatment is USD 45,455.00.

Without the essential care, their chances of survival are slim. But with the proper treatment and care, they can survive and lead normal lives.”

The doctor’s words filled us with hope but also brought worries. We had spent years and a lot of money trying to have a baby. Additionally, we had spent over lakhs of rupees on my father-in-law’s and brother-in-law’s care during the pandemic.

So far, we’ve even borrowed nearly ₹10 lakhs for our babies, but that’s far from enough to cover the necessary amount.

The past few days have been a nightmare. We’ve been sleepless and haven’t had proper meals. All we want is to take our twins home recovered.

We don’t know who else to turn to for help. We’re buried under a mountain of debt, and crowdfunding is our only hope now.

You’re the help that feels heaven-sent to us. I pray that your kindness may bring my twins a chance at life, and us a chance at being parents.

Our twins are our only hope for parenthood, and we’ll do everything we can to ensure they get the education and support they need for a future free from poverty and hardship.

Please, contribute to saving my twins!
