Saria Kouser, a 1-year-old girl from Jammu & Kashmir, India, required specialised treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent BPV (Balloon Pulmonary Valvuloplasty).

In 2024, Saria received specialised cardiac treatment at AIMS, Cochin. Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is a catheter-based procedure used to widen a narrowed pulmonary valve, helping improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs and reduce strain on the heart.

With timely medical care and fundraising support from Bloom to Life, Saria was able to access the specialised paediatric cardiac treatment she needed. Her journey highlights how financial assistance can help children travel for essential heart care and receive specialised treatment for congenital heart conditions.
