Baby of Rupali Kalu Zende, a 19-day-old newborn baby boy, is currently undergoing treatment at MAEER’s VishwaRaj Hospital, Pune, for a serious congenital heart condition requiring urgent cardiac surgery.
The baby has been diagnosed with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (TAPVC), a critical congenital heart condition that requires timely surgical intervention.
After medical evaluation, the treating doctors have advised an urgent TAPVC Repair Procedure, scheduled for 27 September 2026, or as soon as medically possible.
At such a young age, timely treatment is extremely important to address the baby’s heart condition and support his chances of recovery.
The baby belongs to a financially vulnerable family of three members.
His father works as a daily-wage worker, while his mother works as a domestic worker. This newborn is the couple’s first child.
According to the available family income details, their annual income is approximately ₹49,500.
For a family surviving on such limited income, arranging ₹3,50,000 for urgent heart surgery is far beyond their financial capacity.
The family is trying to arrange support, but the cost of the cardiac procedure, hospital treatment, medicines, investigations, and related medical care has created an overwhelming financial burden.
They are now seeking support so that their newborn son can receive the surgery recommended by his doctors without unnecessary delay.

Baby of Rupali Kalu Zende is only 19 days old and urgently requires cardiac surgery.
His family cannot afford the required treatment on their own, but timely medical intervention can give this newborn an important chance to move toward recovery and better health.
