Krittika Singha, a bright and cheerful six-year-old girl, has already overcome more challenges than most face in a lifetime. Born into a humble family from West Bengal, Krittika's early days were marked by distressing health issues. At just six months old, she struggled with persistent fever and severe breathing difficulties.
Her father, Shebushi Singha, worked tirelessly at construction sites in Bastapur, Gurgaon, doing his best to provide for his family. However, with limited financial means, seeking advanced medical treatment seemed like an impossible dream. Concerned about their baby’s worsening condition, her parents sought medical help and visited Dr. Kohli, a renowned specialist.
After thorough medical examinations, Krittika was diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)—serious heart and lung conditions that required urgent intervention. The news was overwhelming for her family, both emotionally and financially. The cost of treatment was far beyond their reach.
At this crucial juncture, hope arrived in the form of IDBI Trustee’s CSR initiative. As a corporate social responsibility (CSR) partner, they stepped forward to support Krittika’s treatment. With their funding assistance, Krittika was able to receive lifesaving medical intervention, ensuring that her condition could be treated effectively without financial burden on her family.
Thanks to the dedication of the doctors, the unwavering love of her parents, and the generosity of CSR partners, Krittika's surgery was successful. After months of medical care and post-surgery recovery, she transformed from a fragile child struggling to breathe into an energetic little girl full of dreams.
Today, Krittika is a symbol of resilience and hope. She enjoys playing with her friends, attending school, and dreaming big—things that once seemed uncertain. Her story stands as a testament to the power of compassion, corporate social responsibility, and medical excellence in changing lives.
Her father, Shebushi, now watches his daughter grow with a heart full of gratitude. “I never thought I would see my child run and laugh like this,” he says, with tears of happiness. “Thanks to the kindness of people who cared, my daughter got a second chance at life.”
Krittika’s journey from illness to recovery is an inspiring reminder that with collective efforts, every child, regardless of their background, deserves a chance to live a healthy and happy life.
