Hi all,
We visited Rishi today. His parents, sister and grandmother were all at home. Recent reports of Rishi were stable though not very positive. His platelets count has gone low than expected. His medication has been altered accordingly.
Rishi has a sterile room dedicated for himself out of the 2 room house the family lives in. Rishi needs to visit Sahyadri hospital twice a week - Mondays and Thursdays. On an easy count his father ends up spending about 8K INR on every trip he makes to the hospital. This includes the expenses for tests which are conducted on Rishi and the transport charges.
The transport is also organized in a packed, clean vehicle.
Having given you all the status from my side let me come back to the purpose of this post. We now have the file maintained and organized chronologically by Rishi's father of all bills
and corresponding receipts. Since Rishi's father could not gather funds all at once he has made the payments in very small amounts as and when he could collect.
We are amazed, shocked and very very touched that in such challenging times as well his father has kept his records clean.
The file contains over 500 receipts with varying amounts with as low as Rs 500 to max Rs 2 lacs. The totals of course add up to our calculations. We could not scan all the receipts.
We have picked out receipts which are significant in amounts and also attached the copy of his bank loan.
Rishi's father still has outgoings of about Rs 10 lacs. All medical expenses so far have been covered except for medicines which are not available in hospital stores and which need to be imported. It has been very humbling to get that file from Prakashji and somewhere it did not feel right to demand records from him given the circumstances.
We hereby appeal and trust that the documents we produce authenticate our efforts in gathering funds to aid Rishi's family.
Forgive my repetition,but , Rishi's case was one of the few curable cases of bone marrow / blood cancer. He underwent operation in October 2010 and is still undergoing post-chemo/transplant recovery.
Let's keep Rishi & his family in our prayers as always.
Thank you..
In Love,Gratitude & Prayer always,
Sai ram
