    RAVIKANTH

    from Hyderabad, Telangana

Ravikanth Bendi is a 33 year old, caring husband and a doting father of a 2 year old girl. He holds Ph.D in Plant Genetics and breeding (Agriculture College, Bapatla) and aspires to be an Assistant Professor in same field.Six months ago, he was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), a disease that gradually enlarges the heart, leading to CHRONIC HEART FAILURE and reduces the capacity of heart to pump blood to other organs.Initially, he was given medication at his native place, but as his heart condition had deteriorated further, the doctors recommended to get him registered for a HEART TRANSPLANT, which is the only option that can help him SURVIVE.
He was registered for the Heart transplant programme in Jeevandhan through Apollo Hospitals, Jubileehills in December 2019.
The treatment cost was estimated to be 34 LAKHS, which we are pooling through our own finances, family and relatives.
While he was waiting for the transplant, his condition is getting worse and he has been getting hospitalized multiple times since last 6 weeks leading to end organ damage.
Each hospitalization is levying huge bills and gradually draining out the reserve fund we kept for the Heart transplantation surgery.
Now, as his condition has deterioated further, the doctors are looking to put him on bridge support (Intra Aortic Baloon Pump) until a suitable cadaver organ is available, which requires him to be maintained in the CaTh ICU until the transpalnt.
The bridging mechanism needs continous monitoring only in CaTh ICU which may cost upto Rs 1 Lakh per day. This is in addition to the Transplantation and post transplantation expenses.
Being an agrarian family, bearing this treatment cost became a huge burden to our family.
 Hence, this campaign is brought to this platform by his wife.
 Please help us get through this challenging times, and save my husband  as we want him to see him back home; Happy and Healthy.

Any contribution will be immensely helpful to us.
There is no donation too small.
Do contribute and share with your family and friends.

Thank you...
