A Peek At June's Most Memorable Campaigns
These campaigns may have gotten the most views, or have backstories that have touched the hearts of many. Many still need your help, so give generously or share if you can.
1. Month-old baby Saanvi needs to undergo urgent open heart surgery
Born on June 9 this year to an Indian couple working in Singapore, baby Saanvi was diagnosed with Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD). With a worsened condition and increased breathlessness, she urgently requires open heart surgery. The operation has been scheduled for July 18, but the operation cost of S$70,000+ and additional post-operation care costs are too much for the couple with no Medisave to handle. They still require funds to meet the operation cost and post-operation care costs for Saanvi, so she gets the best chance for survival and recovery.
Funds Raised as of 1 July 2017: S$70,272.50

4. Active volunteer Shamsul suffered from a debilitating blood clot in his brain since young, before having a brain aneurysm
Mohd Shamsul had suffered from a blood clot in his brain since young, after a fall. It led to him slowly becoming weak and disabled. Despite that, he was still a positive person and active volunteer. In April 2017, he was found unconscious after a blood vessel near his blood clot burst. He had a brain aneurysm, and eventually developed Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and became comatose. His condition has improved tremendously since, but his family was then left with a seemingly insurmountable hurdle - medical bills amounting to over S$57,000. The campaign has since ended successfully, and the funds collected will be used to pay for the hospital bill, stepdown care hospital bill and Shamsul's lifelong care.
Funds Raised as of 1 July 2017: S$24,355.50
