AN APPEAL TO HELP AN ORPHAN CHILD FOR A VALVE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

Dr.Muthu Jothi is a highly regarded Cardio Thoracic Surgeon with Kovai Medical Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, which is one of the finest Super Speciality Hospitals in South India. I know him personally and he does considerable charity medical work. (You can see his brief profile on the Kovai Medical Website by clicking this link http://www.kmchonline.com/directory-of-physician-and-specialist/doctor_profile.php?id=20 )

Two young kids, a girl and a boy, with heart defects and orphans from West Bengal, had drifted into his hospital couple of months back. Investigations revealed that they need open heart surgeries. Dr.Jothi has offered his services free and have got a discount of Rs 50,000 from the hospital. He has also been able to get the Valves free of cost. But still the operations cost Rs 50,000 per kid. These children do not have any documents with them, which prevents them from getting any help from Charitable organizations or the Government Relief Funds. It is left to us to help these kids

I did contribute in the month of March, and along with another kind hearted soul, we helped Dr.Muthu Jothi to complete the Darshini, the Girl Childs operation on March 12th. Darshini is doing very well now.

But for the boy, Arun Kumar, the contribution collected is only Rs 15,000 so far. There is a shortage of Rs 35,000. He needs the operation as early as possible. I have pledged to contribute another Rs 10,000 for the boy. So that makes the deficit just Rs 25,000. Can anyone of you my readers help by contributing whatever you can? Any amount will be welcome.

If anyone is willing to give a quality life to a child, please contact me or forward whatever you can contribute directly to Dr.Muthu Jothi through Western Union if you are overseas. The Contribution has to be sent to Dr.Muthu Jothi, Coimbatore, India and mobile number is 0091-9843206167. Please let me (rajanvenkateswaran@gmail.com & Mobile no: +965 97245431) or Dr.Jothi know that you have sent along with the receipt number so that he can collect in person.
Those in India can contact Dr.Muthu Jothi directly on his mobile -9843206167

Give Arun Kumar a life.

I am giving below the request sent to me by Dr.Muthu Jothi last month as Annexure I. He had today sent another mail, which is also reproduced as Annexure II
