Vishnu is one of the 2,50,000 children who are born in India with heart disease. Of these about 40% are critical and require surgery within the first year of their lives. However only about 10,000 children receive this life-saving surgery every year. In Tamil Nadu alone, there are 50,000 little heart patients on a waiting list.

Since these are mostly children from underprivileged families, they undergo years of suffering. Of constant illness. Of being left out of games. Of seeing their parents agonise about them.

Even if we can offer relief to a small percentage of these children we will be making a big difference. There are enough generous and charitable people like you who find it in your hearts to help these children.

CHIME has been launched to build a bridge between you and them.
