Story

Help me fund my mother's Heart Surgery

Greetings, I'm Diksha (she/her) from Mumbai, India, currently pursuing my MA in English Literature at University College London (UCL) under an overseas scholarship for Scheduled Caste students from the Indian state government. I find myself in a distressing situation that demands your urgent attention.

Recently, my world was shaken when my mother experienced a sudden heart issue, her cardiac evaluation initiated with an urgent ECG and 2D echo following a minor heart attack. Upon identification of previous incidents, doctors at our local hospital recommended swift diagnostic measures. Following a second opinion, she was transferred to D. Y. PATIL Hospital in Navi Mumbai, where comprehensive tests, including ECGs and sonography, were conducted. Due to the severity of her condition, she was moved to the ICU. Subsequent angiography revealed a 90% blockage in one artery and a 40% blockage in another. Immediate angioplasty was deemed necessary. Post-surgery, she spent over 4 hours in ICU, followed by a transfer to the General ward the next day. After monitoring, she was discharged with prescribed medications and follow-up tests scheduled for two weeks later. With no savings, we had to turn to relatives and friends for financial help.The entire medical process incurred a significant cost of 3.5 Lakh rupees (£3500).

In the aftermath of these successful medical procedures, our financial situation has become an immense challenge. Repaying the borrowed funds, coupled with an existing education loan, has placed an overwhelming burden on my family. We are now urgently seeking assistance to raise 4 Lakh rupees (£4000), covering both the repayment and the ongoing costs of the necessary medications and tests.

It's tough being away from my mom during this difficult and crucial time. I wish I could be there for her, but since I can't, I want to help her out financially. Your contribution, regardless of the amount, holds the potential to do it by alleviating the financial strain and provide much-needed relief to my family. Beyond aiding in the repayment of borrowed funds, your support will directly contribute to my mother's well-being by easing the stress associated with the financial burden. Your kindness during this challenging time would not only be a gesture of financial assistance but also a beacon of hope for our family. I earnestly implore you to consider our situation, and any support you can provide will genuinely make a significant impact. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support during this difficult time. Thank you for helping me help my mom.

With love and metta!
