Iʼve raised £1,600 to help towards an operation for my friend Suranga who desperately needed surgery to fix a hole in his heart
- Colombo, Western Province, Sri Lanka
- Funded on Monday, 15th May 2017
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
My friend Suranga is dangerously I'll with a hole in his heart , he lives with his wife and young daughter in Columbo city , however he spends 11 months of the year working away from home as a waiter in the Maldives. He returned home two weeks ago suffering from a pain in his Lower stomach and chest. He needs immediate surgery to fix the hole which is growing larger all the time. The cost of the surgery is $3000 of which the Sri Lankan gov give will contribute $1000 leaving him to find $2000 , he earns around $200 a month , making this almost impossible and because he is an expat worker he can't even use their health service either ( this would also take months ) . His family need him healthy and bringing in an income and without this operation he could die . Please give whatever you can afford.

8 years agowell, unbelievably we've reached £1205 pounds, I received a phone call about 15 minutes ago fro someone who I haven't seen or spoken to in 30 maybe 40 years and he said " will it be ok if I pay the difference between what you've got and your target?" I said "that's £300!" He replied "fine , here are my card details". Well once I had picked myself up off the floor , I was able to process his details and now we have hit our 2nd target of $2000 which with just giving charges is £1675. I'm really confident as we have got this far in just 4 days x
