Hardworking, polite, well-mannered and disciplined are perfect words to describe Jaya. She is a sincere child with an infectious smile on her face and hardly seems involved in any mischievous activities. Mostly she is seen enjoying crafts or reading in class. Teachers love her and adore her ever-smiling face.
Priya has a knob like growth in her finger. It was being ignored by her parents who thought it to be harmless. However, when the school nurse noticed growth in the knob she immediately consulted a specialist.
Dr. Simran Mehta advised an operation to remove the abnormality. After the surgery further tests suggested that this condition is Venous Valix, a close to rare vein disease. With the Society’s help in terms of prompt action and financial aid, Priya has now fully recovered, taking part in everyday school activities.
Jaya’s story is not an isolated incident. Children are prone to suffer an array of diseases, especially those coming from homes with unsanitary living conditions, poor water, and nutrition. Sometimes even if the disease is diagnosed their financial constraints make them helpless towards any treatment.
PYDS helps such children find clean and proper medical treatment and ensures that the student recovers from it, without it hampering her journey of educational growth. With timely vaccinations and frequent medical camps for eye-tests, blood tests and more, PYDS attempts to nurture children who shine through life with their Million Dollar Smiles. :)
