Help My Mother Receive a Lifesaving Pacemaker
My name is Amandeep kaur, and I am an international student.
We were over the moon when we found out I was pregnant—with twins! It felt like a double blessing, a dream come true. Every little kick, every ultrasound filled our hearts with excitement and hope.
But that joy was short-lived.
During a routine ultrasound, the doctor’s face changed. Something was wrong. One twin had a hole in the heart. The other had dangerously low oxygen levels. We were told, bluntly, “We may not be able to save them.”
I was devastated.
As a student on a visa in a foreign country, I was already trying to make ends meet. Because it was a high-risk pregnancy, I had to get frequent ultrasounds at a private clinic—each one costing $650 every two days. I watched my entire savings disappear like water. Soon, I couldn’t even afford groceries. I was scared, broke, and desperate. All I could do was pray—every single day—for a miracle.
And then, God answered.
At just 30 weeks, I gave birth to my twins. They were so tiny, so fragile. They spent weeks in the NICU. I was on payment plans just to cover the hospital bills. But I was finally happy—they were alive. I thought the worst was behind us.
But the hard days weren’t over.
One night, my mother-in-law, who had come to help me care for the twins, suddenly had shortness of breath. We rushed to the emergency room, terrified. The diagnosis: heart failure.
I was standing there with my newborn twins in my arms, and they asked me to pay $30,000 upfront for her treatment because her visitor insurance wouldn’t cover any of it. I was in shock.
I managed to pay $25,000, draining every last resource, borrowing, pleading. But now we are in another crisis. I am still on a student visa. I have no stable income. And I have two premature babies and a critically ill family member to care for.
We are at our breaking point. And I’m humbly asking for your help.
Every dollar will go towards:
Paying off hospital bills for my twins and mother-in-law
Daily expenses to care for the babies
Basic needs like groceries, transportation, and medications
This isn’t easy to share. But we have no other way.
Please help us keep going. Help us breathe again. Pray for us. Share our story. Donate if you can.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you.
