After Losing One Baby, Mary Fights to Save Her Second Son - Help Her Now

“I held him in my arms for just a few breaths before I had to say goodbye forever. I didn’t even get to show him to George. My baby was gone before his father could see him. But I can’t let myself fall apart. My other twin baby is fighting for his life in the NICU. I have to be strong for him."- Mary, mother, her voice trembling under the weight of an unimaginable loss.

Mary and George had spent years longing for the day they would become parents. After enduring multiple miscarriages and the heartache of broken hopes, they were finally blessed with twins. But that joy shattered in an instant.

Born at just 26 weeks and weighing merely 800 grams, the twins arrived far too early, their weak bodies unprepared for the world outside Mary’s womb.

Within half an hour of their birth, one of the twins - her first baby boy - took his last breath

For Mary, there was no time to grieve. She was forced to focus on her surviving twin, her baby boy clinging to life in the NICU.

His underdeveloped lungs, connected to wires and machines, is fighting to draw every breath with the help of ventilators. 

Mary visits the hospital every morning and night to deliver fresh breast milk for her baby, hoping it gives him the strength he needs to survive. It’s the only thing she feels she can do for him as a mother. She can neither hold him, feed him, or comfort him.

Mary and George fear that they will lose their second baby too. And not because he isn’t strong enough, but because they can’t afford to keep him alive.

George, a company driver and the family’s sole earner, hasn’t even had the chance to meet his newborns. The doctors warned them that any exposure to infection could be life-threatening for their surviving son. Every day, George works tirelessly to make ends meet, but his modest income is nowhere near enough to cover the mounting NICU expenses.

The doctors have told Mary and George that their son needs at least 5 more weeks of intensive NICU care to have a fighting chance. But with each passing day, the cost of his care continues to rise, and the couple’s resources are stretched to the breaking point. There’s no way they can arrange 16 lakhs for the treatment
