Case story of two beneficiaries who had successful cancer surgery & chemotherapy & open heart surgery:
Ist beneficiary: He isa13 years old boy suffering from Right Proximal Tibial Osteosarcoma – Cancer. Due to their financial condition they had been going door to door for financial support and hence could not treat him. His health started deteriorating day by day and they took him toHCG Cancer Centre, Mumbai where he was given 4 cycles of chemotherapy and then they shifted him to Shanti Multi Speciality Hospital. Doctors informed them that he requires an urgent chemotherapy and surgery as early as possible. His father works as a labourer in Uttar Pradesh and his mother is a house wife and he earns only Rs. 3000/- per month. He is not in a position to bear the cost of the surgery &treatment of his son.
IInd beneficiary: She is6 years old baby girl suffering from a congenital heart disease ASD (Atrial Septal Defect is a hole in the wall (septum) between the two upper chambers of the heart) and she needs ASD device Closure. Due to their financial condition they had been going door to door for financial support and hence could not operate Baby AnanyaKhemnar. Her health started deteriorating day by day and they took her to WOCKHARDT Hospitals Ltd, Mumbai Central. Doctors informed them that she requires an urgent Open Heart Surgery as early as possible. Her father works as a labourer in the farm in Ahmadnagar, Maharashtra and her mother is a house wife. Her father earns only Rs.4416/- per month. He has to take care of the family and his parents and other members of the family and he cannot bear the cost of the surgery.
Every day updates are taken by the team and the parents feel positive that and there is hope that their child will survive if the surgery is done on time.When your loved ones need an emergency surgery it is very overwhelming emotionally as well as financially. This is the time when near and dear relatives isolate them during this tough time but Abhilasha Foundation is there to support them and coordinate with the hospital, donors and patients. Both the patients are successfully operated and recovered. They are also given nutrition and stay facility in the hospital till the patient is recovered.
