THE Date....

Hello Folks,

The date for the transplant has been decided for the 6th of June 2011, Monday.

As of now, he continues to be on dialysis.

His body needs to accept the doners (in this case,his mothers) kidney , only then he will be fine and come through this.

Please do pray real hard that all goes well and this young man comes through this difficult and painful phase of their lives.

Thank you to each one of you and looking forward to hearing from more of you real soon...

This will be of great help as it will decrease the family's monthly expenses which are expected to be 8 - 10 thousand INR every month on Momins medication alone...God bless you all.

Looking forward to hearing from many more such instruments real soon.

The Family...

A little about the family:

They are 3 of them in a really really small one room house.

The father works in a garage.
The mother works in a tabacco factory.
They have a daughter who is married .
and
Momin who has done an ITI course and was working before his kidneys failed.
In total , at the moment , they don't earn more than 6 thousand Rs. per month.

They first noticed this issue with Momin when he was sent out of Pune for work by his employers and he fell ill there .
He came back home only to continue vomitting and got his lungs infected.
Various attacks of the same and a lot of visits to local doctors later , they approached the hospital and got his blood tested and did a few other tests suggested by the doctors and thats when they found out there was a problem with his kidneys.

We have managed to get a picture of the family.


Momin - to the extreme left with his parents.

Thank you all for everything.
Keep the faith and prayers on.

Hello Folks!

The response to donation has been very encouraging!

We have collected nearly 50% of what is required... but yes 50% more to go ahead...

Please do keep the prayers on and looking forward to a lot more for this youngster who I am sure will grow up to be a responsible and valuable citizen! :)

Update_19th May 2011

HI everyone!

Just back from the hospital . Met the doctor. He explained the whole process to us and also mentioned that they cannot go below the stated amount .

Met the youngsters father.He seemed very lost and looked like he was already losing hope.
We had to really pump him up and make him realise we cannot give up even before we have started. By the end of the conversation we could manage to get a smile out of him .


We met the billing department too and spoke to them about the TAX EXEMPTION receipts and they said it is very manageable as we are working on donations.
So , lets hope this helps us get more contributions for Momin.

As mentioned earlier , Momin is on dialysis now , twice a week and if they continue this way , they will probably end up spending more money than the surgery itself.
The doctor says we should not wait too long, but we need a minimum of 3.5 laks to be deposited before they do the surgery .

Please do help to spread the word and lets not hesitate to save a life!

Its heartbreaking to meet people who are struggling like this. It almost makes me feel guilty for living a good life.

Please keep the faith and the prayers on for this promising youngster.
I will post pictures of them soon.

Thank you all for everything
