A Baby’s First Night Turned Into a Nightmare

Yesterday should have been a day of joy for Hina and her family. A day they had been waiting for, to hold their newborn in their arms. But instead of the sound of celebration, their world was filled with the beeping of NICU machines. Their baby was born with a severe lung infection and is now fighting for every single breath inside the NICU. Doctors have told the family that the baby will need at least 1.5 months of treatment in the NICU to recover. For any parent, this would be terrifying but for Hina’s family, it is almost impossible. 

A Family Torn Apart

Right now, Hina is still admitted in another hospital, recovering from her delivery, while her baby has been shifted to a different hospital. The father and grandmother sit by the baby’s side, watching helplessly as the tiny infant struggles inside an incubator. When we spoke to the father, he broke down in tears. He is a barber who earns just ₹200 a day. With such a small income, he cannot even afford his wife’s medicines, let alone the overwhelming NICU bills. His voice cracked as he said:
“Meri aukaad nahi hai is hospital ka kharcha uthane ki… par main apne bachche ko marne nahi de sakta.” 

The Unbearable Cost of Survival

The doctors have clearly said that the baby will need continuous treatment, antibiotics, oxygen support, and round-the-clock monitoring for survival. The bills for such treatment are already piling up, and the family has been forced to shift the baby to a more affordable hospital. But even there, the expenses run into lakhs of rupees—an amount unimaginable for a father who only brings home a few hundred a day. The fear in his eyes was not just about the hospital bills. It was the fear of losing his child before he even got to hold him properly.

The Hospital Bill That Changed Everything

The latest hospital estimate has shaken this family to the core. Doctors have given them a treatment plan that will cost ₹8 lakhs for NICU stay, oxygen support, life-saving medicines, and regular monitoring for 1.5 months. For a father who earns ₹200 a day, even arranging a few thousand rupees is difficult—₹8 lakhs is an impossible dream. Yet without this treatment, the baby will not survive. This is the price of his life, and only collective support can save him.
