Tapas is a street vendor of vegetables and has this condition for a long time. It is a progressive disease and without surgical intervention Tapas will become paralysed and invalid soon. He is the only bread earner of his family of five (wife + 2 minor children and an ailing aged mother). Some of us have tried to provide medical help to him on a personal basis but would want to provide him the amount required for surgery ASAP.  We have so far, contacted the CMC Vellore and Apollo Gleneagles, Kolkata, who are among the very few that have facilities for this kind of extraordinarily complicated Spinal surgery. We have received estimates from both these hospitals and the amount is upward of INR 532500.00The scanned copy of Tapas' Medical report and Estimates received from both Hospitals are being attached.
