Friends,
Greetings.
I gave 2000 rs. to Suresh Deepala to help a mother-son duo in desperate
condition of health. This I didn't consult the group as there was no time.
Suresh will give us the bills.
Please go through the following mails from Suresh to me about these people and
his empathy for them:
========================================
Sometimes I cannot describe in words the pain which we undergo. The mother and
son whom I was talking about are out of hospital now. I dont know what to do
with them. I really tried hard with all the homes but I could not get any
response from them. I also tried hard to get their relatives who havent turned
up. Both of their condition is really severe. I heard that old lady devoloped a
bed sore and magotts are coming out of it, it seems. and from the sons leg the
puss is oozing out.
They require immediate shelter now. Mother Theresa home is
the best place for them. I tried with the letter from share a service for which
they said they have no space. this was 10 daya ago. I am thinking to send
somebody again and ask the perimission. I will try with share a service again.
My biggest worry is this " the Old lady is just lying
on her back at a constant position for morethan 20 days and as is the case with
the son too. we must understand one thing here that they have undergone a
surgery after which they are suppose to have been provided the good food,
medicine and must be looked after by the family which didnt happen. It is
really hard to see them suffering like that and being not in a position to do
anything..
That is why many worst conditions than these at the
hospitals, I decided I need to take it up as a project and I keep saying to the
people whoever i meet to go to Osmania hospital whenever they are free and
observe the things thre. That is how i got enlightened of how poor are really
suffering.
Cleaning maggots and all is not a big task, as it needs some medical material
which I suppose is not much expensive and also that these two people after
being treated at some shelter home for some time need to be taken to the
hospial specially that lady whose leg is also infected and might need
amputation. but definitely it must be only after she gets fit physically. Also
we cannot say when she will die and I am quie surprised and feel disheartened
to see her alive till now as i thought she will die soon. To be open I am
really praying god to take her to him soon.
===========================================
This is the story. So I hope that there will not be any objection.
An important point. I am pondering over setting up a shelter home for such
people (who are not allowed admission in any of the oldage homes). To set up a
children home with our ideology is not easy and there is a long way for us to
go to achieve that. Meanwhile why don't we help for this cause!!
Share A Service group came forward and is in discussion with three to four NGOs
to take part in this endeavour. I told to Suresh that help would be there from
TMAD front and it would be based on constraints.
We do not have any objection in collaboration as service is our motto but
running a home with the help of few more NGOs might not be smooth. Will keep
you posted of further developments. Any serious decision will only be after
discussion in our group.
Thank you.
with regards,
Prasanthi.
