Imagine a 29 year old, healthy in every respect doing his job in south Kolkata. Imagine that 29 year old young life shattered to forever when he got ‘long segment cernival myelytis with quadriplegia’-  a rare form of stroke which rendering him a quadriplegic (full body paralysis).

He got admitted AMRI Hospital kolkata for prolong treatment in ICU.He had nervous system failure leaving him unable to eat, sit, stand, talk or even breathe on his own.

This happened 7 years ago.

Imagine over a year in the SRIJONI Healing Home,a private hospital of Kolkata fighting for his life. ..coming home and requiring around the clock care and medication administered every few hours.

Imagine a quadriplegic life..transitioning from a life with full mobility to being completely immobile..

It’s really extremely difficult...paralysis of four limbs with no bowel & urine control..pressure-sore in back..completely bedridden for seven years..If you watched the movie ‘Guzaarish’ then you might get an idea of a quadriplegic life.

Imagine the love & blessing of a father who is a retired person who has spent his entire savings (almost 19.5 Lacks) and also spending over  Rs.40,000 per month for his rehabilitation & treatment.

Imagine the blessing of a loving sister who stops working  to tend to his needs 24/7. She feeds him, runs out to get his food and medicine and rushes back to help with all of his personal needs. This goes on all day and all night, every day of every year. She is me.

Imagine the fact that my father’s monthly pension is only Rs.13,500 whereas rehabilitation, treatment & nursing cost is 30,000 per month & there is a shortfall of Rs.14,000 every month which was taken as loan.Till date the Total loan amount becomes Rs.10,00,000/-in seven years which will have to pay by my father.He has exhausted all of his savings making improvements for my brother.

What I am asking is that you find it in your heart to help us to raise enough money to repay the loan & future requirement for  his treatment & rehabilitation so he can spend his days with family caring for him. We need to raise Rs.15,00,000/- in the next few weeks otherwise we have to sell our house, the last asset we left. I don’t know what will happen then. 

We have nowhere to go.

Imagine now, you going to your computer/ phone and donating what you can or whatever you can to help him for his rehabilitation & treatment cost and allow him to live his days with the people who love him.

In the event you cannot make a donation, you can help by sharing this message with family and friends and perhaps they would be able to provide some assistance.

Anything you can do will be appreciated even if it is your prayers for him for success in this campaign.

I thank you for your time in reading his story. Please contact me at: amrita.mb.10@gmail.com  for more information on this campaign.
