Urgent Assistance Required




 Usha, a blind girl and an ex-student of Mathru Educational Trust for the Blind, Yelahanka met with a major road accident recently, while one of the well-wishers of Mathru was taking her on a trip.  Usha is a bright young lady persuing her studies in the Government College, Yelahanka and residing in a hostel.  She is from a very poor family and her widowed mother works as an Ayah in a school.  

Usha was admitted to St.John's Hospital, Bangalore on 10th March, 2013, the day of the accident in a very serious state with punctured lungs and edema to the brain.  She was on the ventilator for a week.  She needs to undergo a major surgery for serious complications including bone grafting for crushed thigh bone.  She is suffering intense pain and waiting for the surgery to relieve her, but is running short of funds.  The well-wisher who admitted her and is still taking care of her had to meet heavy expenditure for the other two blind students who too were hospitalised as well as her own son who is still under treatment.  The estimated cost of this surgery is Rs.2 lakhs.

Hence, Usha seeks for financial help from other well-wishers too so that she can be operated upon soon and she will be relieved of her pain.  

SAHYOG calls for donations to help this poor girl to come out of this crisis, so that she can also finish her studies and support her aged mother.  

Donations can be directly deposited into the account no. 694104000002592 of SAHYOG at IDBI Bank, Yelahanka Satellite Town, Bangalore, IFSC Code IBKL0000694.  However, please do not forget to send a mail with full details of the name of the donor, address (India) and PAN No. to wordsofsudha@gmail.com.

Donors, hurry up!  Come on!  Help Usha and also contribute regularly to SAHYOG to help many such poor patients, who are in need of your kind donations!





Blood Donation Camp - a grand success!

As scheduled, SAHYOG in association with the Lions Club of Sanjaynagar and Dr.Rajkumar Blood Bank, Bangalore conducted its first Blood Donation Camp at the SAHYOG office in Yelahanka, which happens to be the residence of two of its Founder Trustees Sudha and Narasimhachar.  The Camp started at 11 in the morning and closed down at 4 in the evening.  There was a doctor from the Blood Bank, besides 5 other technicians.  Mr.Mansoor and Mr. Alphonse Kurien (Lion) too assisted a lot in making the camp successful. In an 41 donors were able to donate blood on that day, while five or six people who wanted to donate could not do so because of their health status.  The Blood Bank team was very satisfied.

We hope to conduct more such camps and campaigns.
