New Delhi, 23rdSeptember, 2024 – Bollywood star and philanthropist Sonu Sood has stepped forward in support of seven-month-old Sehrish Fatima from Delhi, who is battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 1. Her life-saving treatment requires INR 16 crore, and the crowdfunding campaign led by Impact Guru has garnered immense support, raising INR 1.13 crore with the help of 1.9 lakh donors so far. 

Sonu Sood, known for his humanitarian work, has made a heartfelt appeal to the public, urging more people to come forward and contribute to Sehrish's cause, “Sehrish needs our help now more than ever. I urge everyone to donate and help save her life. A small contribution can make a world of difference for this little girl and her family.”

SMA Type 1 is a rare genetic disorder that causes severe muscle weakness, affecting the ability to perform basic functions like breathing and swallowing. Without treatment, children diagnosed with this condition have a limited life expectancy. Sehrish’s family needs the collective support of millions to raise the funds required for her treatment, and with Sonu Sood’s backing, the campaign is gaining momentum.

Piyush Jain, CoFounder and CEO, and Khushboo Jain, Co-Founder and COO of CarePal Group and Impact Guru said, “We are deeply grateful to Sonu Sood for lending his voice to this critical cause and to the 1.8 lakh donors who have already contributed. His support is a tremendous boost to the campaign, and we are confident that with his help, we can reach many more people. However, the journey is far from over. We urge everyone to join us in this mission and help save Sehrish's life."

The campaign continues to seek support from individuals across India, asking for donations as little as INR 160 to help save Sehrish’s life.
