Help Cedric Babu Get a New Heart: A Second Chance at Life
Cedric is currently admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) , where he is battling severe heart failure. In a matter of weeks, his health has deteriorated dramatically. After a series of emergency consultations, doctors have confirmed that his only hope of survival lies in undergoing a heart transplant — a complex and high-risk procedure that cannot be performed locally. Cedric must be medically evacuated to London to begin the evaluation and transplant process.
In a race against time, family and friends of Cedric — a beloved father, son, brother, uncle, and friend — have launched an urgent appeal to raise £300,000 for a life-saving heart transplant that could give him a second chance at life. So far, £10,326 has been raised from 127 generous donations, but the clock is ticking, and Cedric’s condition demands immediate intervention.
Cedric is currently admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) , where he is battling severe heart failure. In a matter of weeks, his health has deteriorated dramatically. After a series of emergency consultations, doctors have confirmed that his only hope of survival lies in undergoing a heart transplant — a complex and high-risk procedure that cannot be performed locally. Cedric must be medically evacuated to London to begin the evaluation and transplant process.
“This is more than a medical emergency,” his family writes in the appeal. “It’s a fight for Cedric’s future. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to giving him the second chance he desperately needs.”
Cedric’s story is not just about medical urgency; it is a powerful reminder of how fragile life can be. Known for his warm spirit, generous heart, and unwavering love for those around him, Cedric has always been the one to show up for others. Now, it is our turn to show up for him.
Why the Urgency?
Heart failure is a condition where the heart can no longer pump blood efficiently to meet the body's needs. When it progresses to a severe stage, patients are left with very few treatment options. For Cedric, a transplant is no longer a choice but a necessity.
However, the transplant process is not only physically and emotionally demanding but also financially overwhelming. The total cost of evacuation, surgery, post-operative care, and rehabilitation in the United Kingdom is estimated at £300,000. This includes emergency air ambulance services, hospital admission fees, surgical team costs, and long-term medication.
How You Can Help
With just over £10,000 raised so far, the family is urgently calling on friends, well-wishers, philanthropists, and the global community to contribute to the cause. Every single donation brings Cedric one step closer to the surgery that could save his life.
If you are unable to donate, you can still make a huge difference by sharing the campaign within your networks — social media, WhatsApp groups, offices, and community organizations. Awareness can be as powerful as currency when it comes to reaching new potential donors.
“This is a fight we cannot win alone,” says Cedric’s sister. “We are leaning on the kindness of strangers and the compassion of friends to help bring him back to health.”
A Call for Compassion
Medical emergencies like Cedric’s test not only the strength of our health systems but also the power of community. They remind us that in moments of crisis, humanity shines brightest when we choose to act with generosity and love.
Let’s come together for Cedric. Let’s rally behind this noble cause. Let’s give him another sunrise, another hug, another laugh. Let’s give him life.
