Struggle and Fight – Story of Value

People who understand the value of life, the value of each breath, the value of family. These are the families who have been through thick and thin together as a family. They have struggled for life, fought for life.

This family has fought for 2 years now, the fight wasn’t by the patient alone. The fight was for the family and the people around them. Every drop of blood count for every thousand tears.

There is a chance that the patient is suffering from Cancer but there is no one who made sure of that. 2 years and money worth 2 lakhs have been spent on just trying to know what he is afflicted with. The man has not only gone through mental torcher but has also gone through a procedure called Colostomy Surgery.

The patient has been getting burning sensations every time. The surgery was done successfully perhaps but neither the patient nor his wife was explained about the procedure. All they knew was that the doctor has put a cut on the patient’s stomach and that it cost them a price of 1 lakh.

The comfort of a parent cannot be compared to the care of any known.

What if the parent think that the burden of their disease shouldn’t let it affect their children?

The patient also suffered from Piles, a disease which lead to continual bleeding. His wife said that almost every day he would bleed during urination every time. It is also diagnosed that he has a low red blood cell count leading to low hemoglobin. She also shared, due to this much blood loss he requires a blood transfusion every 2 months. This procedure takes at least Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 40,000 each time.

Since the patient has undergone procedures and consumed a ton of medications, he is unable to eat proper food. He hasn’t eaten a proper meal for a year.

Now with the help of Help to Heal Foundation, he has been admitted to the Ashtavinayak Hospital where he got admitted and not a single penny was taken at the time of the admission.

We learn things the hard way and so did our patient and his family. They learned that money matters a lot especially during medical procedures. That is where Help to Heal Foundation comes in to connect them with the correct hospital and foundation.

Help to Heal Foundation have been helping people like this family, giving them a glimmer of hope. The hope of living a longer life, with the hope for getting everything back on track.
