We are raising funds to cover the costs of specialist eye surgery for a 15 year old boy in our community.
Vijay has been blind on one eye since birth, but recently the vision in his other eye started to decline drastically.
Vijay's parents brought him to our clinic to ask for help. Uddhava, Vishnu, and Dr. Devashish saw immediately that the boy needed specialist attention and arranged for our driver Amal to take Vijay to Sree Ganesh Eye Clinic in Raipur.

After thorough examinations, the doctors at the clinic advised that Vijay needed specialist surgery for which their institution is not equipped.
It was arranged to take the boy to Sankara Nethralaya Eye Hospital in Chennay, where the surgery was possible.

Because of the urgency of the case - the doctors only had a chance at saving Vijay's sight if the surgery went ahead as quickly as possible, the hospital agreed to extend credit on the cost of the treatment.
Vijay was operated on and has now been cleared to return to his home village for recovery. So far, the result of the treatment looks very successful!

This is where you come in! Exceptional spends like this one are very hard to cover for us with our very limited present funding.
The costs for treatment, tests, and transport amount to roughly 120' 000 Indian Rupees, or 1200 GBP. We appeal to all our friends and supporters to please click the link below and leave a donation - however small - to help us cover this sum.
Your contribution will mean that we can continue helping patients like Vijay to lead happier and healthier lives. Thank you!!
