FINANCIAL AID: Divya A, Chennai: 25 years old: Acute kidney failure (both kidneys) needs (y)our help ...

Hi Friends,

This mail is not a forward. Please read and help whatever is possible from your end...

My(Lavanya Sekar) college friend, Deepak, has a cousin sister Divya who is a kidney patient and this is the background of that girl.

"""Divya Annadurai, my cousin sister, who was diagnosed with acute kidney failure (both kidneys) on December 2004, is now 25 years old and in 2005, her mother's kidney was transplanted to her, from when she was slowly recovering from the operation and leading a normal (though not a healthy) life till 2009. But, at that year, her new kidney, which was transplanted from her Mom i.e. my Aunt, stopped functioning too.

She is from a very poor family background. Her father is a handicap and a heart patient and her mother's health was spoiled after donating her one kidney to Divya. They are actually living next door, of the house that we own. Their daily bread and lodging are all supported by my Dad/Naresh's (my cousin's) Dad and our relatives, since, they don't have a proper income. She is still managing her hospital expenses and transportation charges by the help of some good hearts, extending their helping hand.

Recently, doctors did "Fistula Operation" on her left hand and she will have to wait for another Donor for a Kidney transplant operation again. So till then, she is undergoing 6 to 8 cycles of "Dialysis" every month to live, which is a temporary replacement, for dead kidneys. It is costing > 8000 rs/month & in addition to this, her monthly medicine costs around another 2000 rs, which is way beyond our contribution.

I will be very grateful, if you show your mercy, by either donating money (Rs.100 to any amount would help) or referring me to your friends or organization where I can get help. Please show some light on her darkened life....""""""

If transfering, please mention as “To Divya_” while transferring and send me a mail with your contact detail. Divya would want me to reach you personally and express her sincere gratitude.

Need FINANCIAL AID: MAY-2010: Prachi - 3 years old, Bangalore - has to undergo Cochlear Implantation to help her hear and develop speech and language - Apollo Hospitals, Bannergatta Rd.

Greetings,

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give - Winston Churchill

One of our dear colleague’s (Pravakar) daughter has to undergo Cochlear Implantation to help her hear and develop speech and language.
Given the current financial dynamics that Pravakar is bounded with, he needs monetary help to raise funds for the surgery which costs over 10 lakhs.
So far Pravakar has raised 7 lakhs through savings, loans and he needs help to raise the remaining amount quickly.

There is absolutely no obligation as I completely understand that each one of us is bound by constraints in life. But may be, just may be, if you are in a position to help please contribute whatever you can to ‘Society to Aid the Hearing Impaired (SAHI), Bangalore (for Ms. Prachi)’, Acct no 2753201050344, RTGS No CNRB0002753, Canara Bank, Arekere Branch, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore 560076. (Please go through the attachment below for details)

Pravakar was very reluctant to allow me to send this appeal and I convinced him with great difficulty. I’m very sure that all of us understand the sensitivities surrounding Pravakar’s situation and we will make him feel comfortable through this passage.

Please forward this to anyone else who you think can help.

Thanks.

Dear All,

A lady of about 45 yrs old(Mamtha) met with an accident last Wednesday(13th Jan,2010) where she fell off her bike. She suffered severe brain injuries and entered coma immediately. Since her condition was very critical and required a highly sophisticated

treatment she was not allowed admission in any of the hospitals (even NIMHANS said they would not be able to support this condition). Finally Apollo hospital at Bannerghatta Road(opp IIMB) in Bangalore agreed to admit her.

She has now undergone one of the two surgeries but still hasn’t crossed the critical stage. She is still in Coma, in an emergency ICU room on ventillator. The doctors are trying different ways to help her gain consciousness, but she hasn’t been responding much.

Since the treatment is highly expensive and a prolonged one(depending on her response and when she comes out of Coma which could take a month now), the family is not able to bear her medical expenses(she is not covered under any insurance). They have already spent 3 lakhs over her first surgery and might require another 2-3 lakhs to continue the treatment.

This is a case that I am personally aware of as met this family when I accompanied my mother-in-law to the hospital and I visit the hospital on alternate days.

It would be tough for their family to manage the situation financially, but I feel  together we can make it  happen and bring the joy back into the family.

I have given my bank details below for you to transfer the money.

Name of the account holder: Jayashree R

HDFC account number: 00771140035183

Branch Code: 0077

Bangalore-IT Park

You can contact me on for any details.

To keep track of the money that is being transferred to the hospital, I would appreciate if you sent a confirmation email to me at rtrackers@gmail.com and use the subject line 'For Mamtha's treatment'  while transferring.

Due to the urgency of the issue, I am sending this email directly. Please let me know if there are better ways to reach out to more people

Looking forward to your kind support in helping this family.

Thank you in advance.

Warm Regards,

Jayashree
