Aariz Malik

Srinagar · Child

September's hero

Follow Aariz’s journey

I could not climb the stairs. Now nobody can catch me.

When Aariz was born, his parents noticed he tired quickly and struggled to feed. A local doctor heard a murmur and referred the family for a scan. The diagnosis was a ventricular septal defect, a hole between the two lower chambers of his heart.

With the help of donors, Aariz had corrective surgery and the year of follow up care that came after it. Today he runs after his older sister and rarely sits still. He is, in his mother's words, a different child.

His family shares small updates from his recovery, so the people who helped can watch him grow.
