| Every Year in our state nearly
10,000 to 20,000 children are succumbing to various kinds of Heart ailments.
Around 0.8% of children born are afflicted with heart ailments. Many
of the children born with the heart ailments are born to the parents
who are poorest of the poor, who cannot even afford one square meal
a day leave alone the cost of treatment for their children.
Every day these people go thru an ordeal
unable to see their children succumbing to the heart diseases and at
the same time not able to provide them with necessary medical treatment,
which is beyond their reach since it costs them Lacs of Rupees.
For some children the ailments can be cured
by medication and for others surgery is compulsory and for this each
child requires a minimum of Rupees One Lac. Basing on the statistics
available the Govt has to spend around Rupees 25 crores to treat the
children, but due to the paucity of funds and the lack of necessary
infrastructure it is not possible for the Govt to take up this Herculean
task.
Looking at the constraints being faced by
the Govt in treating the children, Hyderabad based CARE hospital has
come forward to share the burden. They have committed themselves to
the noble cause of providing the treatment by spending around Rupees
Forty Five Thousand (Rs.20, 000 /- by Care Hospital and Rs.25, 000 by
Care foundation). In spite of this there is a shortfall of Rs. 55,000/-,
which the parents are unable to shell down.
In this prevailing situation Teluguone.com humbly
request our members for financial contributions to bridge the gap in
the shortfall for the surgery to save the lives of children suffering
from Heart diseases. By doing this you are not only giving a new lease
of life to the affected children and at the same time you are also giving
joy to their parents thereby indirectly serving your motherland.
We request you to contribute Rs. 55,000/-
(approx US $ 1200) towards the balance amount for performing the operation
to save the life of a child identified by the Care hospital. We sincerely
promise you that each and every penny contributed by you is fruitfully
utilized for this noble cause. |
