National NGO Successful Stories

Vibhanshi• When Vibhanshi was first referred to the National

NGO, she was a 4 year old girl with Acute Lymphatic Leukaemia. She needed immediate medical attention and corrective surgery.

• Her surgery required Rs. 150,000 which was beyond affordable for her family as her father who is a construction site worker in Ghaziabad is the sole bread winner. A full day’s work fetches him a scanty income of Rs. 100 to 150/.

• So, her father brought her to AIIMS, to Dr. B.R.A Institute of Rotary Cancer Hospital. Considering her background and the nature of the case the doctors at AIIMS referred her to  National NGO where we collected the required amount for her surgery and ensured that she has access to life!

Vanshraj• At the time when Vanshraj was referred to National NGO,

he had just stepped into this world. However, his entrance wasn’t the smoothest since he was diagnosed with Critical Congenital Heart Disease, which occurs due to abnormal connections in the heart and hole in the heart.

• CCHD is a lethal disease that occurs in infants and needs to be treated in the early years of life. His father Mr. Suraj Mehta a poor factory worker in Jharkhand was suggested to take his son for treatment at AIIMS, Delhi.

• The doctor’s at AIIMS drew up a budget of Vanshraj's surgery at Rs. 65,000/- which was collected by the team at National NGO as this case was referred to us because of the amount was not affordable for the family. Timely and efficient treatment helped Vanshraj and his family to lead a normal life.

Aditya• Aditya’s case was referred to National NGO when he was

only 2 years old. At the time he was under treatment at the Department of Cardio-thoracic and Vascular Surgery at AIIMS, New Delhi.

• He was suffering from Critical Congenital Heart Disease. His oxygen pipe had stucked to his heart due to which his blood was getting deprived of hemoglobin and was turning blue.

• His family lived in Guwahati and his father Mr. Anil Sharma was a poor worker who earned his livelihood by cutting iron.

• The team of National NGO collected the required amount of Rs. 51,000/- for his surgery and played a vital role in saving his life.

Yashi Shrivastava• Yashi was a 7 year old girl suffering from Critical

Congenital Heart Disease due to holes in her heart. She was under treatment with the Department of Cardio-thoracic and Vascular Surgery at AIIMS, New Delhi.

• She required a total corrective open heart surgery and the cost of her treatment was Rs. 52,000/-. Her family's only source of income was Yashi's father Sunil Srivastava who worked in farms in Sitapur with a monthly salary of Rs. 3000/-.

• Keeping in mind the meager earning of the family, her case was referred to National Organisation for Social Empowerment in 2014.

• The team at National NGO collected the required amount for her treatment and Yashi now living a healthy and happy life.

Amil

• Amil was very pale when he was brought to Dr. B.R.A. Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital at AIIMS. After conducting a series of tests, Dr. Sameer Bakshi told this 9 year old’s parents that he was suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and an abnormality on his MLL gene, commonly seen in infants with leukemia.

• Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells.

• Amil’s parents couldn’t afford the cost of the surgery, which was a massive sum of Rs. 250,000.

• National NGO was acquainted with this case and the organization ensured that no stone was left unturned in saving the child’s life. Amil is a very healthy and happy boy today who spends his time playing with his brothers and sisters.
