3 Year Old Manasa needs YOUR help, NOW
We have received a request from a desperate,
desolate parent of a three year old
child in
We urge you to go through the note sent by him,
which is reproduced below. We hope that Manasa will touch your heart and you
will be moved to offer help to Rajagopal.
We know that many of you had spontaneously
responded and contributed generously to our appeal a few months ago for the
heart surgery of 6 year old Hemalatha in Chennai. We appreciate
that you too could be facing constraints in coming forth with more funds.
However, may I request you to kindly explore the possibility of passing on this
request to your circle of friends? Also, if you know of any other options to
help Rajagopal, please advise us.( eg,
if you know of some NGO or Association whose main objective is to render such
help). Above all, keep Manasa in your prayers, for with God, nothing is
impossible.
No amount is too small. On hearing from you, we
shall confirm the modalities of payment. You may mail us at rescuefoundation@gmail.com .
We normally recommend that donations be sent
directly to the Hospital providing the treatment. This will erase any doubt on
the proper utilization of funds offered. We shall obtain details for such
direct payments to the hospital once we hear from you.
If you would rather directly interact with
Rajagopal, you could use your discretion on this. Mr. Rajagopal’s
appeal, which is reproduced below, has his address and email:

I
am the father of a 3-year-old girl
child, named I.V. Subhadra Manasa, who has
been getting the medical treat in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) of the
She
has been diagnosed with a PROLONGED RESPIRATORY AILMENT, caused due to Respiratory Muscle Weakness, because of which she has
been on CONSTANT OXYGEN SUPPLY, since
September 2008. The Doctors are hopeful that she would eventually come
out of this situation with the continued treatment.
Since September 2008, she was required
to be kept in the Intensive Care Units, due to the prevalent medical
condition. She has been requiring constant
medical treatment, which has been
very expensive up to INR 15000 /- (Fifteen Thousand Rupees) on an
average, every day.
We
have already spent an amount close to INR
30, 00,000 /- (Thirty Lakhs) towards her
treatment. I met this expense partly by utilizing the entire insurance amount, INR 4,00,000/- (Four Lakhs)
that I was eligible for, some through the support
that I got from my family, friends and the Organization that I am working
with, INR 7, 00,000 (Seven Lakhs) of it,most of it
through the loans INR 12, 00,000 (Twelve
Lakhs) that I have incurred from the Bank, Credit
Card and friends, and the remaining INR
7, 00,000 ( Seven Lakhs) from everything that we
had saved earlier.
We have reached a stage where we are
left with almost no financial capability to meet the incurring medical
expenses, and are looking for financial help in getting our 3- year-old child,
treated.
The Doctors are suggesting that my
child would require treatment at least for another 3 - 4 months, in the
Hospital.
I
pray that no parent should be in the situation that we are in, and hope that
the Almighty gives everyone the Health and Prosperity.
Regards,
Rajagopal Indurthi.

Hemalatha's Surgery - an update
June 4th 2009
Doctors at
helping little Hemalatha?
We are happy to inform that the
Statistically, it would be interesting to note that out of the large number of people that we had approached (over 300), only 4% responded with their donation. We truly admire the small fraction who chose to think beyond self – a rare quality which is sure to draw God’s attention and reward. We earnestly pray that the number of such people increases. Selflessness is the only way to be in the shadow of God’s protective grace and love.
A small gap of Rs 7,000 still remains. We hope to bridge it soon. If you are inclined to make a contribution, please email us and we will be pleased to co-ordinate with the Hospital.
We sincerely thank the donors for their selfless, kindhearted and generous donation without which, the surgery would not have been a reality.
We also wish to place on record our appreciation of the pioneering efforts of Mr. Sairaman and Mr. R.G.Subramanian in bringing Hemalatha’s case to the attention of all of us. Both of them are extremely busy senior professionals and their noble action is certainly exemplary and inspiring to all of us.

I. Emergency Medical Aid:
We often receive urgent requests for help for those who are hospitalized and cannot afford expensive treatment. The Rescue Foundation has, in the past, received tremendous support from many in such deserving cases. If you are inclined to help in such exigencies, please email us. Please indicate the amount you are willing to earmark in a year, the maximum amount you are willling to release at a time and the lead time required to release the same. We will record your kind offer and utilize it as and when the need arises. No amount is too small or large. We have, in the past, collected donations ranging from as little as Rs 500 to as much as Rs 2 lakhs at a time from individuals.
We ensure that all donations are directly sent to the hospital from the donor.
Enjoy the joyous experience of sharing. Send your email today.
=============================================================
II. Forthcoming Year's Schooling Needs:
Thanks to the tremendous support
from friends like you, fourteen young boys and girls received schooling this
year. All these children are from very poor families whose daily meal itself is
a challenge, education being a distant dream. Through your generosity, these
children now have hope for a better future.
Some of these children are particularly very brilliant and, with the right
support and encouragement, they are sure to make a good impact on society.
I know some very successful businessmen and professionals (who started life as
slum dwellers or rickshaw pullers) and have used their success to inspire
others and contribute a lot to many needy persons. They have realized and are
implementing that great gift of God - the joy of sharing. The Rescue Foundation
firmly believes that it is only in sharing that we can get richer and happier.
The Foundation would like to play the humble role of a catalyst between those
who have and those in need.
The amounts needed are not huge. For example, with a small
donation of Rs 200/- per month (about US$ 4) one
child gets primary education in an English medium school in
This year too, I look forward to your support and patronage. May I urge you to make a contribution to this cause?
Sincerely,
The Rescue Foundation
