A bright life needs help - I

We have a mail at the start of this week on madhav, a bright b.tech student suffering from blood cancer. Below is the mail from him. Will keep updating this thread on what's going on wrt to madhav's treatment..


*Current status is that the funds are flowing in fast and hope is raising..*

/***********************************************************************/

I, K. Madhava Reddy (3610), passed out in 2006 and am currently pursuing my
B.Tech in Hyderabad. I was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic
Leukemia) - a type of Blood Cancer- in November, 2007.
I have been undergoing treatment for the above said disease since then
under the supervision of Dr. SVSS Prasad, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad and
completed B.Tech 2nd and 3rd years in distinction. The treatment was going
fine till Oct. 2009 when the doctor noticed that the disease has relapsed.

The doctor advised that the only way I can sustain is by undergoing a
BMT (Bone Marrow Transplantation). I was accordingly prepared for
this BMT by giving high dosage of chemotherapy. Now, the reports have
showed remission and the doctor has referred to Apollo Speciality Hospital,
Chennai as this facility is not available at Hyderabad.

I have consulted Dr. Jose M Easow, BMT speciality who has conducted the
required investigations and advised for an immediate admission and
transplantation. The donor for transplantation is my Sister whose marrow
has matched with my marrow.

The estimate given by Apollo Chennai (attached) is for Rs.15 lakhs.
Other incidental expenditure will be 3 to 5 lakhs. Both my parents have
expired before I was 8 years old, since then I was dependent on my uncle who
has already spent approx. Rs.10 lakhs towards my
treatment. But now since the amount is huge, I request you to lend
out a helping hand and support my uncle. Any kind of help whatsoever will
be deeply appreciated. Your help and support will give me a chance to lead
a normal life once again. There is nothing called a small help when the
heart giving it is big. All amounts shall be accepted with gratitude.

All payments can be made by cheque or DD in favour of "K. Madhava Reddy" or
can be remitted into SB A/c No. 10123165040 State Bank of India, Balkampet
Branch, Hyderabad

i am deeply grateful for your help and concern. Please forward it to anyone
who can be of any help.

Awaiting your positive response.

Thanking you,

K. Madhava Reddy (3610)
