Dear Supporters,

Here is an update as on 5th Jan 2021, 1:30 PM IST.

Anup is in quite critical state.

Two days back his ECMO support was taken out completely following improvements post transplantation treatment (initially removing only Heart support and then both heart & lungs). However he was going through other challenges and complications for last two days.

Last night (early morning today) his BP, Saturation & Heart Rate went down significantly, thus doctors had to put ECMO back for full heart & lungs support. It was not a cardiac arrest, heart did not stop working, but significantly went down. After ECMO support, heart rate and saturation are under control. He also has infection for which medicine is going on. Kidney function is not normal, it can happen after complex operations, they are providing support for kidney function, hopefully it will be better.
Bronchoscopy is going on, will get some more updates after that.
As of now, all support systems are given, but body needs to accept & respond positively. Next 24-48 hours are very critical.

Please keep Anup in your thoughts and pray for this strong young man to come out of this critical phase soon.

With regards,
Sudipta

Dear Supporters,

Here is a financial update for this campaign.

Collection as on 2nd Jan:
Milaap Campaign = INR 54.3 lakh
Through personal initiatives = INR 61.1 lakh
Total = INR 1.15 crore

Expenses so far:
MGM Hospital (transplant & pre/post procedures) = 57.2 lakh (till 30th Dec)
Air Ambulance = 18.95 lakh
Family room rent = 1.15 L
Logistics and other cash expenses = 2.5L
Total = 79.8 L

So, cash available as of now: approx INR 35 lakh.

With tentative estimate, we are expecting another 45 days in the hospital. This may extend as we progress depending on Anup’s situation, but so far he has shown tremendous courage & strength. We are forecasting at least an additional 81L in expenses for hospital stay and procedures based on the previous expense pattern. Out of this, approximately 35L is available, so we need to raise another INR 46L (INR 49,00,000). Accordingly, we have revised our new Milaap target to INR 95 lakh.

Sincerely request you to please come forward generously for the second time, even if you have contributed earlier.

Wish you a happy new year and also it was Anup's birthday yesterday (1st Jan). Please wish him with your prayers, blessings and support to get well soon.

Best regards.

Dear Supporters,


Here is an important update on the fund utilisation and continuation of this campaign.


The post transplantation treatment is going to be a long process, Anup’s hospital stay is expected to be more than what was originally estimated, which will incur much higher total cost. Already we have expensed almost INR 75L as on 20-Dec, there will be additional charges for Air lifting Donor Lungs, also the current treatment using ECMO & Ventilators are adding good amount of daily cost (approximately INR 1.25L per day). As of now, we have approximately INR 25L in account – out of which around 10L may be needed to pay for last 7 days. Thus, it leaves us at a state of urgently taking initiatives to raise funds on priority.


The current Milaap campaign will end in another 3 days and we are still INR 13.2 lac behind our initial target, so please donate again if you can and share it with your friends and family for better reach and helping in meeting our goal. We will have no other option but to extend the date (considering another month of stay in MGM Hospital), as well as revise the target for all practical purposes. We sincerely look forward to everyone’s continued support.


For recent update on Anup's medical condition, I would request you to please follow our Facebook page below:
