Financial help for a student suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (blood cancer)

Hi All

Over the years XSA has been able to help out a number of individuals during their times of pain, especially on medical requirements. This has all been possible based on the donations from the alumni of MEC.

We have been able to consolidate the efforts over the last couple of years in a temporary blog site: http://xmecsocialassist.blogspot.com/.

Let us pitch in our bit to help out the less unfortunate in our society. Please be assured that one of the XSA committee members verifies the genuineness of each case presented across to the alumni

Please refer below for details of the person we are helping out currently. Looking forward to all your support for the initiatives of XSA.

Regards

Subject: [xmec] Financial help for a student suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (blood cancer)

 
Hi all,

A +2 student of Bharathiya Vidhya Bhavan Thrissur, Ashish G. Nair has
been diagnosed with blood cancer. His case was referred to XSA by
Navin Babu of 99-03 batch. Anish's family consists of his dad (who is
70+ - just undergone a surgery) , mom and elder sister. The parents
had two other children before who were drowned to death in a tragic
accident.

After the medical examinations, doctors of Lakeshore hospital
Ernakulam, have suggested a treatment which would cost the family 10
lakhs. The financial situation of the family is not good enough to
manage such a big amount now.

Those of you would like to help may transfer the contribution to XSA's
account mentioned below and send a mail to our treasurer,
nirmal.unnikrishnan@wipro.com.

Scholarships handed over to Students of MEC

Dear Friends

Yesterday, our esteemed Principal, Dr P Sureshkumar handed over the XMEC Alumni Scholarship to 6 students in the presence of staff and students. Nirmal Unnikrishnan from XSA was also present during the function

We had set a target of raising Rs 1 Lac to provide scholarships to 5 students during the current year. We had been able to raise an amount of almost Rs 2 Lacs. Hence we were able to add one more student as a beneficiary keeping the balance for coming years. Thanks to all the donors

The students were selected based on a combination of merit and means. I would like to thank Minimol B (staff and also alumni of 1993 batch) along with other staff in helping us through the selection process.

Once again, I thank all of you in participating and making this endeavor a success. We look forward to your help, guidance and contributions for all XSA activities

Update from XSA - Lenin

As some of you might remember, XSA had sent a request to the community
regarding Lenin, who is suffering from single vessel coronary artery
disease. I am glad to say that we have handed over 25k to Lenin's
family. Thanks a lot to everyone who supported.

At Lenin's home, the condition is not getting any better. Lenin's
mother got admitted in hospital due to heart problems. Lenin again
went to work and lifted heavy loads, which didn't go well with his
treatment. Right now his monthly medical bills come up to 3000/-. As
of now no decision on the surgery is taken.
