Help Biju Walk - Mon Jul 27, 2009

Hi All,

This mail comes as a call for help to provide financial aid to Biju who needs to undergo an operation of the Spinal Disc in Medical Trust Hospital, Ernakulam. Biju, a 26yr old young man, met with a bike accident 4.5 yrs ago which caused severe damage to the Spinal disc, costing him his ability to Walk. His right leg is useless now as the nerves supplying blood to them are jammed.

Dr Ravindran @ Medical trust hospital will do an operation on the disc to revive his right leg. The operation cost alone is Rs 70,000/- .

Biju being from a very poor family in Aluva cannot afford to pay this. Biju's father had stopped working because of his ill health. His mother Rajamma Chechi works as domestic help. Biju is their younger son.

I came to know of this case through my Mother whom Rajamma Chechi had contacted.I spoke to Rajamma chechi yesterday.Thats when she told me of the mis-fortune that her elder son also met with. He was the only support for her ever since Biju met with the accident....The elder son met with an accident at his work place as a result of which his toes were amputed. He is now unable to go for work. Now Biju's Father has started working again despite his ill health to help Rajamma Chechi meet both ends.

We had infact sent out a mail for collecting money for Biju's operation last year and we were able to collect 17.5k through your contributions. But Rajamma chechi (due to financial & personal reasons) decided against the operation and we used the funds towards other cases which came in (For Sujesh & Arevindh)

Now, We would like to re-initiate the drive to help Biju 'n his family. It seems they have 20k in hand at the moment. The remaining amount needed for the Operation is Rs.50,000. They could take Biju for the operation as soon as they have the total amount in hand.

A small contribution from a whole lot of us could help Biju walk again and slowly enable him to start going for work again. We are also looking at the possibility of providing continous support to this family but at the Moment our primary focus is to get Biju to the hospital as soon as possible.

Lets do the best we can to help this suffering family. Those of you would like to help may transfer the money to the following account.
