Good info Krishna. Pretty much have all the necessary details in ur mail.
Genuine case that needs help asap. I think that sirishas' parents have already pushed the illness pretty far....unable to afford medical care. Scary to note that the little girl faints once a while when walking or playing. Prasanthi...according to me..this is wht I feel we should do: Assign the whole case to one hyd member with subject to talking to the family and so on...so that we avoid confusion...and have clarity of the situation. With how krishna worded his mail...I think he will be more than happy (?) to take up this if feasible. If another hyd member volunteers....he/she can co-ordinate the medical part...as in....one who can go along with the family to doctor visits ...talk to doctors on their behalf and so on. This is important keeping in mind that those people are uneducated specially. Someone needs to make sure they understand the gravity of the situation. They wont' be able to converse/communicate with the doctors as required either becos of their ignorance on the subject/issue or their financial difficulties. (WE HAVE TO CASH SOME PRELIMINARY TESTS EXPENSES if required) Together these two members can give us all the details on wht the doctors quote (weighing the case on humanitarian grounds) and when is supposed to be the deadline/date (keeping in mind the sooner the better) for the required surgery. We then between ourselves will/can figure out how to raise that amount. Chandra here (USA) will transfer what we can send ofcourse..and u (prasanthi) can take care of the hyd part. Someone or the same members dealing with the case can keep track of actual funds outflow to proper channels/cause/aid. (Includes lot of work on receipt management and so on..) This way...I think the work will be distributed...and another active member of the group gets to monitor a case oh his/her own aswell. On personal grounds..this might be way more inspiring n satisfying to the ppl dealing with the family directly. The same members or someone else if interested can deal with the after surgery recovery process and details.Here the qn comes in about need for extra funds for after maintenance medication etc. Based on the info then...further planning can/shud be done. This is way easier said than done. I understand that part since a member needs to pull out time/energy for doing all this keeping his/her work/personal schedules balanced. But hey this is what we all wish to do...isnt it? Help out keeping our other work n home life balanced paralelly. So I leave it up to u guys in hyd then. Since we here in US can only talk :( or suggest...and send money. SAD :( We cant' help in person...but hey we are still lending out our helping hand one way or the other. I feel that this case needs our first attention...in all the cases we have on had today. Every life matters...not that one weighs less than the other..but...a little girl as fragile as this..who has seen nothing in life yet....and coming from a family of uneducated people of poor means who struggle for everyday living...AND the fact that inspite of knowing the situation from when the girl was 6 months, nothing is/could be done till date...is so heart breaking. How more helpless can a parent get??? that knowing this would only take the girls' life if not cared for....all they are left with is WAIT FOR HELP...WAIT FOR TIME TO SLOW DOWN ITS PACE !!!! Sinerely what I feel..... Divya ***************************************** --- In [email protected], "Thottempudi Suneel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Great work Krishna.

My brother accompanied me. Sireesh's condition is very serious and needs immediate operation. Her family is really poor. They are living in a small rented house with single room and tiny kichen attached in a weaker section colony. Her father is a normal carpenter without regular income. Her grandmother works as aaya in a college with a salary of just eleven hundred rupees per month. She has to feed her own family also. Sireesha has one younger sister. Sireesha's family received white ration card yesterday. Sireesha'a heart problem was noticed at the age of 6 months. > > > Her family was told about operation. Due to fear of huge expenditure her family is going on postponing the operation. But recently Sireesha's condition became very serious and often she goes into unconscious while walking and felling down all of sudden. At that time her lips are becoming black. The doctor told to her family as operation is required immediately else there is high risk of death. He referred Sirishaa to Care hospital and told her parents that they will be sent to Gandhi Hospital or Other Government hospital after checking in care. Next procedure is Gandhi hospital people diagnoses and refers case to care with a certificate as the patient's family is poor and she needs operation. Then Care people will decide what to do. They are going to Care hospital for checkup today. We told their family to don't worry and be courageous. I have given my Phone number to Sireesh's grandmother and asked her to update about Sireesha's condition and what ever the doctors say. We gave a small amount to their family and came back. > > What we have to do: > > If care hospital performs operation for free of cost, that's well and good but it may require money for expenditure other than operation. If care people go for subsidised price, we have to think of how to adjust the balance or whom to be referred. > > We are listening and reading very often in News papers as people of Governmental hospitals are showing negligence, inhuman behavior and corrupted. We have to take care about how Sireesha gets immediate responce without any troubles as her condition very serious.
