Unfortunately, Sudha developed diabetes while pregnant and her daughters were born two months premature. They need ventilator (呼吸机) support for the next 4-6 weeks to breathe. The family is poor and does not have the money to meet the unexpected expenses and need help to keep the babies alive.Nandakumar, a carpenter by profession, fell sick after marriage and has not recovered fully.
