Hyderabad crowdfunds Covid victims Rs 2 cr

Hyderabad The second Covid wave has been more devastating than the former and it is only together that we can beat this crisis. During the month of April 2021, ImpactGuru.com has been able to raise over Rs 2 crore for several patients diagnosed with coronavirus and hospitalised across Hyderabad.

Covid-19 fundraising efforts on ImpactGuru.com, have started again in full swing amidst the pandemic. Amongst the crowdfunding cases on ImpactGuru, is that of a patient suffering from Covid, currently undergoing treatment at a multi-speciality hospital in Hyderabad.

The patient is in a very critical condition and the doctors have advised for an ECMO treatment, Rs 2 lakh per day, in addition to other hospital expenses. The patient's 3-year-old twin babies are also awaiting their Covid test reports. Further, the patient's extended family are also getting hospitalised as even they have been tested positive for Covid. In 3 days, 700+ donors have come forward and contributed over Rs 15 lakh on ImpactGuru, for this case. Crowdfunding has been a pillar in raising funds for the Covid affected. It is an alternative method of raising funds online for medical expenses, with the patient primarily relying on social media networks to mobilize donors to finance the relevant medical bills.

As India fights the second wave, ImpactGuru is currently raising funds for Covid patients, Oxygen Concentrators, PPE kits and Food and ration distribution.
