An appeal In favour of an ailing helpless soul It is a tragic story of a 17 year old bright student. The younger of the two sons of Mr. Arun Goswami and Mrs. Devi Goswami (Adi Elengi Satra), who hail from Phulabari of Dol Bagan in Assam’s North Lakhimpur district, this young boy is fighting for his life after doctors declared that one of his kidneys has been completely damaged. All was well for the family of Mr. Goswami before that fateful day, when their son was suddenly taken seriously ill and shivering in high fever the boy had to be admitted to North Lakhimpur Civil Hospital. The doctors diagonised cerebral malaria and started treatment accordingly.But his condition never improved even after six months of treatment. He was referred to the Guwahati Medical College Hospital. After several tests it was discovered that one of his kidneys has been completely damaged.He was then referred to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) of New Delhi. The young boy got well cosiderably. But doctors have come to the conclusion that kidney transplantation is a must in this case and it must be done at the earliest possible time. It has also been advised that he be taken to Hyderabad for the transplantation and further treatment.
What Mr. Goswami needs now is help from kind-hearted people of all sections of the society. A school teacher by profession, Mr. Goswami is mentally ill and has lost his job. He has been trying desperately to save his son but the impoverished father now can not afford it as has spent everything for his son’s treatment in Guwahati and Delhi. The ailing boy appeared for the Higher Secondary final examination but after two days he was again taken ill and had to abandon it. We appeal to everybody to help this poor family in distress. Please show kindness to this distressed family and donate whatever you can for the expensive treatment of this helpless soul. In response to his request to Dainik Janasadharan and considering the family’s appalling condition we are taking up this fund raising effort and we hope that all the kind hearted people will contribute to it.The names of the donors will be declared through our website and it will be updated every month. Besides, we have also arranged to publish the contributors’ name in Dainik Janasadharan, the Assamese Daily, published from Guwahati and Jorhat. Let us not forget that one small step for man, could be one giant leap for humanity.
