A Chinese migrant worker is desperately in need of funds to pay for the treatment of her newborn triplets.

The mother, a migrant worker in Shenzhen, gave birth to triplets in a hospital in the middle of April when she was only 29 weeks pregnant, according to the Nanfang Daily. The babies were born underweight at 1,390 grams, 1,080 grams and 650 grams respectively. They are also seriously ill and in need of urgent medical treatment.

Shortly after birth, the babies were put inside incubators. Doctors attending to the triplets said they had multiple medical problems which include impaired breathing.

Doctors said the babies have a highly probability of survival, after gaining healthier weight levels and reaching a stable condition brought about by a month-long treatment. They now weigh 1,720 grams, 1,350 grams and 920 grams respectively.

Despite the improvements in their health, the triplets still suffer from lung problems and low weight, and have need to stay in intensive care for about a month. They are in need of at least 10,000 yuan (about USD $1,530.77) per day for their hospital treatment in Guangzhou.

The parents are in dire need to raise funds to meet the needs of the triplets. It is estimated that they will have to raise a total of about 300,000 to 500,000 yuan ($45,923 to $76,538) for the medical treatment for a period of up to two years.
