A Fervent Appeal for Financial Assistance for my wife Mrs. Anita's Medical Treatment.

Dear Well-wishers,

My wife Mrs. Anita Mukund Agrawal met with a serious road accident on Friday, 11^th March, 2011. While waiting at bus stop of Eastern Express Highway at Kannamwar Nagar, Vikhroli (East) Mumbai 83, she was dashed by a very rash motorbike rider. Due to this, she suffered multiple brain injuries as well as multiple fractures to spine, pelvis, left leg etc. The accident has left her in a semi vegetative state.

After this accident, she was admitted to Fortis Hospital at Mulund (west) after a gap of almost three hours. During this period, she could not get proper medical treatment and went in coma. From Fortis Hospital, she was shifted to Gokul Nursing Home for two months. After almost three months of hospitalization, because of financial constraints, I shifted her to our home in second week of June. She is still in a state of unconsciousness and is fighting for her life. Her parameters are uneven and if she does not get proper treatment, the future is bleak.

Due to my own health problems, I am away from my job for the past three years and whatever savings I had, were exhausted to meet the medical bills. So during the long hospitalization, I borrowed money from relatives and well-wishers as I was not in a position to bear the medical expenses. Even today, to provide the necessary medication etc I am spending an average of R 75,000 per month and this has put severe stress on me as I have no other way to meet the medical expenses. I have three young children, one of whom is in college and the younger two in school. I do not have any other options or sources left to bear these expenses and I am hoping for organizations, trusts or individuals with a charitable outlook to provide much needed help to save my wife's life.

So, I earnestly appeal to you all to come forward and give me and my family your best possible. For this, I and my family will be highly grateful to you for the rest of our whole lives and pray to Almighty to give you very best in life. I would also much appreciate if any of you can refer my case to such organizations as can help the needy, of my plight and situation.

Please contact me at the address below and telephone number.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully

Mukund T. Agrawal

Baburam Das

The IndiaHelps Team has established contact with the family of Baburam Das, a resident of Bhayander East, who was killed in the Dadar Blast of 13/7.
He leaves behind his wife, a son studying in class 9 and his old mother. The Taj Trust has kindly agreed to take on the expenses related to the child's education. The family has received the Rs 5 lakhs compensation. But the wife is not working and was completely dependent on her husband's income.
Will post up needs and help required once a clearer picture emerges from subsequent conversations with the wife.

A case: Sundersingh Bisht, 13/7 victim

Sundersingh Bisht, received critical burn injuries in the Zaveri
Bazaar blast on 13/7 and was fighting for his life at JJ Hospital. He
passed away on Saturday, leaving behind his wife and a 2 year old son,
as well as two aged parents back in the village, Garud in
Uttarakhand's Bageshwar district. He was an office boy, and earned
approximately Rs 4500 per month, according to his brother Kedarsingh,
who is based in Bombay.
India Helps has touched base with the family and will be helping the
family with their daily needs for a period of six months initially, to
be reviewed upon the completion of six months.

Hey,

        As you might already know, I am Trustee with an NGO called Jana Rakshita that has been working with the underprivileged in India, primarily focusing on Cancer and Education. Ours is a registered Trust and we're proud to have helped more than 1100 lives since the time of our inception in the year 2004, but only with the support of you and our friends.

        We have been trying to raise funds for this really tragic case of a beautiful little  2 year old boy Aarav, suffering from Liver cancer, for a couple of days now and just as I am writing this, he is being wheeled into the Operation Theater for an emergency surgery due to some recent complications he developed whilst in the ICU. His arteries have begun to leak and they're hoping to try and operate on the tumors if possible. This was unexpected and puts this case on our Top Priority. As dramatic as this may sound, we need immediate help so he can pay up for his surgeries. Dr Sachin Almel from Hinduja Hospital (Mumbai) who is treating Aarav has talked to the Hospital authorities and bought a couple of days time to pay up the bills.

 

        Our NGO - Jana Rakshita has had many cases this month and very few donors as always. And hence we're reaching out to you, to please help us help Aarav. Please check the attached document that was written out earlier today, before the recent emergency. 

        More details about our NGO will soon be available on our website. Bad timing, but we had a website up all this while and just pulled it down a few days ago to put up a new one. Please stay tuned in to www.janarakshita.org for updated content and details about our NGO and our activities. Alternatively, you can also call us or drop in to meet us at our office for details. Our work and accounts are open to all.

        Hoping to hear back from you as soon as possible. I also request you to pass this email on to as many people as you can.

        If you have any further questions, you can contact us on the below numbers:-

PriyaDarshini, (Trustee, Jana Rakshita)

        If you are from the US or UK and would like to donate, please send me an email and I shall get back to you with transfer details.

        Thank you for your time. Please try and give this a few minutes of your time. This little boy needs us right now.

Rinku Vishwakarma-First contact

We read about Rinku Vishwakarma in the newspapers. Her husband,
Makeshwar Vishwakarma had been critically injured in the Kabutarkhana
blasts. She, we read, had been waiting outside the ICU at KEM
hospital, without having eaten a single morsel, with her two year old
daughter for the past two days. We requested a Midday reporter to pass
her our contact details in the event that she needed any help. A day
went by with no call. Yesterday, we got a call from her. Her daughter
was running a high fever, and she sent her back to her neighbours in
Sion to be cared. Her inlaws have come down from UP to be with her in
these times. She needed some financial help, and India Helps sent
across a small amount to tide her over these few days in the hospital
and for her daughter's medicines. Parul Sharma of the IH team will be
coordinating this case, and we will be doing a follow up visit soon.
If anyone would like to help her, please do get in touch. Right now,
as we see it, the wait is for her husband to recover, and then do a
needs assessment. Will keep you posted. Watch this space.

Namaskar

With your kind support, last academic year we were able to support
about 14 children for their education who studied in 10th and 9th

forward for our support to bear their education expenses. The children
live in a slum in Ramamurthy Nagar.

In Vidhya Mandhir, the annual fees for a child is Rs.3625 (there are 3
children looking for our support ) and in Vikasa school, the annual
fees is Rs. 2025, per child (there are 10 children from std 10, who
needs help ).

Interested people please contact:

Donate a sweater, save a child

Want to save a needy kid? By donating a sweater you can !!!  
Friends, last year winter was painful for the underprivileged village kids. For
the kids of the few of the villages we have taken up few small initiatives like
providing clothes, books & toys to them. These few villages are located at the
outskirts ofBhopalhave the residents living below poverty line. The men and
women of these villages work as daily wage labourer and are hand to mouth. Last
year in the month of December- January 2010 the winter was very chilled in
Bhopal particularly the nights and these made the condition of the people very
pathetic. More worse was the condition of the children. They won't have proper
woollens and were shivering due to severe cold. Ahambhumika launched a campaign
for the collection of woollen clothes for these children and were able to
succeed to have around 40 sweaters only while the requirement was quite high.
Viewing the scarcity of sweaters lastly we distributed clothes in 4-5 pairs to
the children so that they could be saved from winter up to some extent from
severe cold.
Learning a lesson from this we have initiated a collection campaign of sweaters
before time this year. During forthcoming winter we need around 500 sweaters for
the kids. Their age ranges from 4 to 8 years. We shall be obliged to you for the
support. Even a sweater old or new donated by you will be an immense help to us
as well as to the needy kids. We can accomplish this goal only with the support
of you generous people. You can donate old or new sweaters and may courier it to
us. Even a single sweater donated by you could save a kid. And is not it worthy
to save a needy kid from severe winter? Winter is a nightmare for them due to
lack of proper woollens.

Sub : Request for financial help.

My son Master Suraj Patil ( age 17 yrs) has polio in his left leg.
The leg was a little bent. It was operated three times and a steel

rod was inserted. After 5 years of operation, due to a fall while
playing he was again hurt and ankle got twisted and started paining,

When shown to Dr. Mangal Parihar at Mangal Anand Hospital, Chembur,
Mumbai, ( Maharashtra, India) he advised for another immediate

operation. The cost Including operation charges & hospitalisation etc.
is estimated around Rs. 1.5 lacs.

My meagre salary in no way will be sufficient to meet this huge
expense. Voluntary donations from generous people will only rescue

my child from this major handicap and I earnestly pray for help.
Those who are desirous of extending financial help, can send the money

directly to my Bank A/c. No. 43010400004862 with IDBI Bank, Thane

Subject: It's about 6 critical requirements of GOONJ ..

Dear Friends,

This mail, may be first of its kind in the last 12 years of our work, is not about what we are doing or plan to do. (Please refer www.goonj.org for regular updates)

Here are 6 critical requirements, ways to engage to strengthen the work. Do read, revert, act and pass on the message to your friends, colleagues and relatives if you think they can also join this movement!!

1. TEAM 2000: It’s about bringing together a strong team of 2000 people who contribute a sum of Rs. 10,000/- or more in a year.  (About $ 250 or just about Rs. 800/- a month) It’s NOT like an EMI or a lifelong commitment. Give till you feel comfortable or trust the work.  Commit less or more…although we are looking for 2000 people to commit Rs. 10,000/- or more... Apart from taking care of major regular expenses, the money will be used for growth, expansion and wider replication.

We are sure that it is achievable and like all other initiatives of GOONJ, we want TEAM 2000 also to be driven by the volunteers.. do sign up, spread the word, talk to people to join TEAM 2000.A simple form is enclosed giving the money transfer options. Contributions in India are tax exempted u/s 80G of IT act.

2. Vehicles: With the spread, transport cost has gone up and material inflow at GOONJ is increasing. Pick up vans are an immediate need in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata & Jalandhar (@ approx 4.5 lakh rupees). An Informal group, Focus India Forum from Singapore has just taken care of the vehicle in Chennai. Possible contacts with vehicle companies or to get the discounted rates are welcome.

3. Computers/laptops: For the past many years we have somehow managed with the used lot of computers. Now when we are focusing on MIS, trying to use technology to maximize the potential, we need high end, good systems. Laptops are preferred as most team members spend a lot of time in the field. Our requirement is of 25 Computers/laptops and 7 printers/photocopy machines .

4. Transport support: or linkages with transport companies to reach out material to hundreds of towns/villages across the country.

5. Space: We are looking for about 2000 sq. ft. space for a processing centers/storage in Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Jalandhar, Chennai and Hyderabad either pro-bono or on minimum possible rent. Chennai and Hyderabad are most urgent.

6. Linkages with garment industry people: primarily dealing with cotton and hosiery surplus, under/non utilized material.We are producing about 2,00,000 (2 lakh) sanitary pads and undergarments for women right now and the demand is much more !!

Feel free to write back with your queries/suggestions/comments. Do send out this message to as many people as you can. A form to join ‘Team 2000’ enclosed below…

Looking forward…

With best

Anshu

An appeal yet again for the Shinde case

I posted this a few days ago, and sadly, haven't received any positive responses yet.

http://indiahelps.blogspot.com/2011/03/appeal-for-funds.html

Even if one person agrees to put in Rs 1000 and we get a total of 50 people helping him, he will be able to get his leg operated without having to sell his jhopdi. Kind folks, please chip in.

Appeal for funds

This appeal from Sangeeta,

Dear All,


Gyaneshwar Dagdu Shinde  has broken a bone in the leg .Wife and
daughter work are working in household jobs. He paid with his funds for an operation at Mahim. That did not go well and the bone was set
wrongly . The family has spent over a lakh in the past over two
operations.

He under went treatment for I T fracture ferum, right leg. He was
operated for DHS fixation in august, 2010, which was revised after 4
months. The bone has not united and hence he has to get a bipolar hip
replacement. The approx cost of just the implant is 50,000 and he
needs another 50,000  to cover the doctor expense and nursing home
stay.


I have raised Rs 25,000 thru Panchtatva and am looking at raising Rs 70,000

It is a genuine case and I can vouch for it. Can we raise funds ?
Funds can be transferred to his daughter's account . He heads for
surgery tomorrow.

Subject: Appeal to support Cycle Chalao! - Raj for winning the
Unreasonable Institute Challenge - 2011

Help send Cycle Chalao! to the Unreasonable Institute! Click here to
support us now - the race to raise Rs 3.15 lakhs is on! In last seven
days 34 people have pledged Rs.65,000! Help us keep the movement!

Hi everyone! I'm Raj and I'm the founder of Cycle Chalao!, India's
fastest-growing cycle sharing program. I'm THRILLED to announce that
we've been selected as a finalist for the Unreasonable Institute. Now
I need your help to get there - and then to get all of India cycling!

The Unreasonable Institute is one of the most exciting events in the
world of social entrepreneurship. In June, Unreasonable Institute will
bring 25 young social entrepreneurs to the beautiful American mountain
city of Boulder, Colorado. For six weeks, the fellows will live and
work with 60 world-class mentors, pitch to hundreds of investors, and
prepare to launch financially self-sustaining, globally scalable
ventures that can serve the needs of at least one million people. This
is the support that Cycle Chalao! needs to transform India.

Cycle Chalao! is a social venture promoting cycling in India by
establishing bicycle sharing networks to provide bicycles on rent for
short distance traveling. The vision of the project is to 'Integrate
cycling in the mainstream public transportation thereby reducing
traffic, air and noise pollution'. By providing point to point bicycle
rental services citizens will empowered to have an environment
friendly, economic and healthier way of traveling short distances.

I'm one of 45 finalists. I will only make it to Unreasonable if I'm
one of the first 25 of us to raise Rs 3.8 Lakh by 11th March, 2011.
The time has already started and we need to raise that money as soon
as possible to be in the first 25!

Rs 3.8 lakh is a lot, but I'm not looking for big donations. The idea
is to get as many people donating as possible - the limit per person
is Rs 2500 for current week i.e. till 3 Feb (then the limit goes up to
Rs 5000 i.e. from 3rd Feb to 9th Feb). If we don't make it as one of
the first 25, we'll get to keep what we raised and use it in our
venture.

So PLEASE sign on today and donate whatever you can. If you want to
donate by cash, cheque or wire transfer, email me at
raj@cyclechalao.com or call me at +91 9867987031. Spread the message
as far and wide as possible - to your professional networks, at your
university, to your friends, at your cycle shop - wherever! All
sponsors get recognition on Unreasonable's website and ours. Click
here to see the FAQ's and tax deduction facility for sponsors from
U.S.

Send us to the Unreasonable Institute so we can help end pollution,
fight congestion and make cycling THE way to get around in India.

THANK YOU for your support! Get in touch with me if you have any questions -

Among the nicer things that have happened over the past year or so is that three of our IH team members have got married, two of them to each other.
Aparna and Shyaam finally made it official, and Dilnavaz tied the knot with her beau Abhi. We had a long overdue celebratory lunch at Barbeque Nation yesterday. Since neither Abhi nor Shyaam could make it to the lunch, here's Dilnavaz and Aparna feeding the cake to each other.

Congratulations dears, and here's wishing both you lovely couples love and laughter for all the years ahead.

Help for Uttarakhand

This forward from Chandni:

From manakmatiyani@yahoo.com
Jan 16, 2011
Subject: Request for help for landslide affected people in Uttarakhand

Dear Friends,

Hope you are well and had a great beginning to the new year.

I am writing to ask for some help, hoping you will consider this
request and also pass this letter along to others.

You might have heard about the landslides in Uttarakhand due to the
heavy rains in September 2010. Along with the destruction of lives and
property, the disaster also made the areas inaccessible, making it
difficult to send aid for the affected people. The people have been
trying to pick up the pieces and reconstruct their lives to start a
fresh new year. To aid in this, Dinesh, a young person from
Uttarakhand whom I know has been trying to collect and transport
relief materials for the affected people. With support from Goonj, a
very active relief agency, he has been able to get a large amount of
material including clothes, ration materials, household items etc for
500 affected families in the area. The transport of the material (100
gunny bags) to Almora and then the affected villages requires a total
of 22,000 rupees. We are trying to raise this money through donations
from friends and supporters. I am forwarding Dinesh's request for help
and attaching a letter that he has written with this email.

Dinesh is from a small village called Garam Paani situated close to
Almora and has been working on social issues with local people
independently for the last few years. He does not have a registered
organisation and has sought support from a local body called for
managing the accounting and proper use of these funds. I have
volunteered to collect in Delhi and send to Dinesh by the 31st of
January. Even small contributions would go a long way in ensuring that
the materials reach the right people in time and I strongly urge you
to donate whatever you wish and can spare for this cause. I know
Dinesh and can vouch for his good intentions and commitment towards
the local people.

I am based in Delhi and can organise to meet you and collect your
contribution. Any contribution and your support in forwarding this
request to others would be of immense help.

Thanks!

Manak.

PS: Manak's email id is at the top of this mail. Please contact him
directly if you wish to contribute in any way.

Christmas Party for Pavement School Kids

This just in from Priyanka:

The Street School For Street Kids had their Annual party on 26th December Sunday at Prabodhan Hall, Goregaon West. There were 150 kids who attended the party. You can imagine the excitement levels of these kids and when the games began it was hard to control them! The kids had lots of fun with games and prizes to be won followed by a magic show organised specially for them! Though we had planned to wrap up the party by noon it went on way past 1 o'clock.

The party was special for all these kids but what made it very special was lots of kind hearted souls who came forward and chipped in with their contributions. Many people had also written to us with a desire to contribute. Thank you so much for writing in to us! It means a lot.

So three cheers to all you lovely people for going out of your way to bring a smile on our kids' faces.

On behalf of the team I would like to thank Prabodh Desai for organising the hall for us and also the snacks from the Prabodhan canteen. Thank you Shivani Rege for the soft drinks, Karishma Upadhyay for chocolates. Also many thanks to Mona Dubey, Rajkumar Manohar and Preeti Thomas for game prizes. Last but not the least a very big thank you to all the students of Vibgyor High Grade 9, ICSE for the lovely Christmas gifts that they contributed to for our pavement school kids. Thanks also to the Principal of Vibgyor High Mr. Shim Mathew and also Ms.Naghma Shaikh for all their efforts and their support to our school.

Request for space at Khan Market

An appeal:

 

 

Dear Reader,
My name is Ravi Gulati. I am a co-founder of Manzil, an NGO located in Khan Market, New Delhi. Manzil empowers children and youth from low-income families by providing resources and a platform to learn, teach and be creative. Through empowering, Manzil seeks to create an environment that seeds the next generation of sound Indian and global citizens. We have been doing this for the last 13 years, with little institutional funding, and minimal contributions from caring individuals. For more information about us, please see: www.manzil.in.

Manzil needs your help…

We work with about 150 students and run 45 classes a week from a small house in Khan Market where my family and I live as well, and two tiny quarters in Sujan Singh Park. Apart from classes in English, Maths & Computers, we have been giving equal importance to the opening of young minds, broadening of their horizons and the enhancement of their self-expression, confidence and creativity through the Arts, like Theatre, Dance and Music. Although this has been difficult logistically, through determination and perseverance, we have been at it for the last 13 years. However, to continue our journey any further, we need your help.

Within the coming year, we will be moving out and, after 13 years, the house in Khan Market will not be available for this work. Consequently, we'll be shifting all operations to Sujan Singh Park. Managing over 150 students and 45 classes per week from two small quarters will be difficult, as I am sure you can imagine. Unfortunately, due to space limitations at Sujan Singh Park, we will have to discontinue our theatre, dance and music classes.

This is where you can help. If you have a place, or know of someone who has, in the vicinity of Khan Market, where our dedicated students can practice, please let us know if you'd like to put it to good, responsible use for the larger benefit of society, for only a small part of time per week.

We will need the space for about 8 hours a week, though we are flexible. And whenever you need it back, we'll be out, instantly (although it would be helpful if you can let us know a little in advance so we can make alternate arrangements much the same way as we are doing now. That said, we do understand that sometimes it is not possible to notify in advance and that would be fine too).

I know that such things can't be decided over long-distance, so if you have even the slightest possibility or inclination, I request you for a personal audience where we can speak of any concern or question that you might have. And, if you so prefer, I'd be thrilled to discuss what excites both you and us about this collaboration.

I hope you have the possibility to help us in the matter; if it won't be easy, I hope you will be inspired to go at least a little out of your way to make the impossible possible. Your collaboration in this important work of cultivating beautiful people would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ravi Gulati

26/11 – Two years and counting.

It has been two years since five terrorists ripped into our city's peace creating havoc, despair and a sense of vulnerability nothing has been able to restore.

It has also been two years since a group of shaken up, but determined women (and a couple of men) set out to address the unease inside them, the angst and desperation of wanting to reach out, met in a coffee shop. It has been two years since they embarked on a journey of help and support, and came together to from India Helps.

India Helps is not an organization, it isn't a company and it isn't a professionally managed Not For Profit. It is a part of each and every one of the people present in that first meeting, and those that joined after. India Helps has a heart, and soul. It has ethics and morals. It is a reflection of all the hard work that's been put into creating it. Reaching out to victims, fund raising, managing professional and personal lives and most of all, dealing with our own feelings and trying not to be overwhelmed with the victims trauma are just some examples of the work that's gone into India Helps.

India Helps has grown. Where we started with a few 26/11 victims, we now raise funds for pavement schools, teaching over 200 underprivileged children with limited or no access to education.

As we mourn the loss of family, friends and other victims of the attacks, we also in a small, muted way celebrate the strength with which India Helps moves into 2011. Eveready and Energized to go. With renewed faith we await new avenues of reaching out to people.

We'd like to thank all those of you who follow our blog, write in to us, have sent us funds. India Helps would not have sustained such active fundraising if it hadn't been for benevolence such as the kind we've received from you all. Thank you, truly.

 

By Suma Nagmote on behalf of Team India Helps
