India: Crowdfunding helps toddler get life-saving $2 mn jab

In Rajasthan, a heartwarming story unfolded as people from all walks of life united to save the life of 22-month-old Hridayansh Sharma, who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy. With a price tag of $2 million, the cure, a gene therapy injection called Zolgensma, was out of reach for the family. In a race against time, the Rajasthan Police launched a crowdfunding campaign to secure the funds before Hridayansh turned 2 years old, the age limit for administering the treatment.
