Mr. Balaji aged 16 years a native of Bangalore. He is student of first year PUC at Gopalan Pre University. His father Mr. Narayana is a welder with a minimum income of Rs. 400/- per day and his mother Mrs. Gowri does housekeeping job and earns Rs 7,000/- per month. Balaji is from family of 4 members, he has one elder sister who has completed B.Com and is in search of job.

Balaji at the age of 5 years started developing spine deformities. During the last year Balaji had undergone spine surgery at Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Hospital. The surgery was done to correct his deformity as he was losing his balance over his lower limbs. Post-surgery Balaji started developing lower spine curve when consulted he was asked to undergo revision surgery.

The cost of the surgery is estimated at Rs. 3,00,000/-. The family is not in a position to pay for the surgery as they are still repaying the debt with an interest of 3% per month for the money they borrowed for the previous surgery.

Dear Supporters,
It is such a big relief to the parents and Balaji after the surgery. Infact it was the second spine surgery that Balaji, the first one was done few years ago for which father spent all that he could and is still repaying the debts with huge interest.

Hence they could not make any contribution for the second surgery, entire surgery bill was supported by Have A Heart Foundation, Doctors, Hospital and one more Charity organisation. The surgery went on well and Balaji is now all set to go to next academic year. On behalf of Balaji, his family, Doctors and Hospital, we thank you for extending support towards Balaji's surgery.

With warm wishes,
Have A Heart Foundation
