India to Italy 'Shakti’ wins the battle of heart & unites with Italian parents

‘Shakti’ wins the battle of heart & unites with Italian parents
Abandoned by her birth mother in India with a literal hole in her heart, two-year-old Shakti was destined for a better and richer life in Italy. Here is a story of hope, destiny and joy that has come true, possibly like a dream for a little girl in Indore.
Shakti was born in an underprivileged family in Neemuch. Being a girl was already considered ‘not good news’ in the family and further, she was born with a hole in her heart. As her mother discovered that the little girl had a hole in heart, she abandoned her.
Shakti was 6-months-old then. Left at the mercy of the orphanage, Shakti’s life seemed hopeless. She was sent to Sanjeevni Sewa Sangam Shishu Garha in Indore.
“When Shakti came to us, she was underweight and weak,” Asha Singh, coordinator at the Garha said. Shakti had to be taken special care of.
“If she would ever cry, then her heart would stop, so we could never ever let her cry,” Singh said. Further, Shakti wasn’t allowed to get sick at all, even the common cold could be deadly for her.
“We couldn’t get her operated until her weight reached at least 7 kilograms,” Singh said. Finally in February 2023, Shakti was able to reach the target of 7 kg (15 pounds).
She underwent open heart surgery at a private hospital in Indore. “Her survival is a kind of miracle, she was critical and fighting death for over 10 days after the operation in the intensive care unit,” Singh said.
Shakti showed her true power and came out stronger than ever. Soon after, her adoption was finalised.
A couple from Italy had applied for adoption and had requested specially for Shakti. “Her adoptive father has suffered the same heart condition and had undergone an open heart surgery at the age of 25,” Singh said.
The father knows the pains of suffering from such a heart condition and precautions necessary for the same. “The parents got married three years ago and have been set on having Shakti since they heard of her,” Singh said.
The father feels grateful to his parents for caring for him and intends to do the same for Shakti. The little girl will now fly to Italy and live with the happy couple in their early 40s soon.
