Selvaraj With Cancer,Bread Winner With Three Mentally Not Stable Kids

Story
Updates (5)

I am writing to you requesting help for someone I know Mr. Selvaraj, who is diagnosed with Cancer.

He is the sole bread winner, with three mentally unwell children. He complained of a back pain initially, later to be diagnosed with Cancer. Some of us have supported Mr Selvaraj and his children over a period. Not able to manage the costs and after running helter skelter, the family has shifted him to Chennai first VS hospital, now KKR Cancer Hospital, and is currently under the care of Dr. Vijayasarathi, who has promised recovery. I am trying to make efforts to help Mr Selvaraj and his family with necessary funds, and hence I reach out to you for any financial support.

I urge you to reach out to him and help him and his family.

I have known the family for a very long time. I tried to contact him for a small job, that's when I got to know he was very ill and was shifted to Chennai. The worst part is, he was engulfed in his children' health issues. Working hard to get them medical support. He has three children, including a girl child of 16 years. All three kids at the age of 9 started showing signs of mental unstableness. The couple were devastated and withdrew themselves from the outside world, concentrating completely on the kids to get them normal. The wife is not educated and does some stitching at home. Both are related to each other and both their parents are no more. Living in a leased home. Mr Selvaraj used to undertake civil contract jobs. He is immobile now, because his rectum, spinal cord is affected. The wife is with him in Chennai, the children are left all alone in Bangalore with a distant family member giving them food. It's heart wrenching to see them suffer so much. The children need support even to go to the wash room.

They need our help, even for daily needs, food, medical support. The funds generated through Milaap will be used for their medical treatment (Timely admission for Chemotherapy in KKR Hospital), tests at VS Hospital and other daily medical needs. The letter attached from KKR hospital is the immediate need for admission done on 13th July. the next tranch will be required for next admission, the letter for which will be uploaded once the next admission is done.

You can enquire about him and take information regarding his health condition from his doctor or family.

Dear Supporters.,

We have some unfortunate news to share.

Mr Selvaraj passed away on the evening of 21st September. Despite their best efforts, doctors were unable to save him. He had been suffering a lot!

I've tried my best, but sadly we could not save him. Thank you everyone. For me now it's a tryst with his three children, all with Cerebellar Atrophy.

Thanks,

Dear Supporters,

Selvaraj is currently in Bangalore, and will return to Chennai on 30th Oct for chemo and admission. Since they could not bear the costs they have returned. He is completely paralyzed with no movement, bed ridden, Movement only in wheelchair.
All your help has gone a long way. The doctors have prolonged his life, but not promised cure. He is in the fourth stage of Cancer. The family continues to struggle to save him, not knowing he is nearing his end. All three children of his, with Cerebellar Atrophy are watching their father suffer. They have a bleak future! request you to kindly spread the word and continue with your prayers and support.

Dear Supporters,
Selvaraj has been brought to Bangalore because they couldn't manage to lead two homes, one the children who are in Bangalore, two their rented accommodation in Chennai.
With very little hope and help, the couple has returned. They have to visit the Chennai hospital once in three months for follow up. They have to get injections administered every 15 days in a clinic in Bangalore.

Thank you so much for the support so far. Please continue sharing the campaign with your friends and family.
