CALL FOR DONATIONS

We are left with very little funds right now. To carry on with our mission of helping the needy, we need the support of philanthropists like you. Even a small donation on a recurring basis will go a long way and help us help more and more. Rs.100/- a month to SAHYOG account from each one of you may be a good way of keeping this light burning.

Please do think and support us.

Be a tree and make this beatuful forest denser!

Our Latest Deeds

Chandramma, a destitute young lady is admitted to M.S.Ramaiah Hospital and needs a small surgery, followed by prolonged medication to cure her of some problem that she has with her urinary bladder and kidneys. Another NGO has sponsored a part of the expenses, while SAHYOG has met Rs.18000/- of the cost. She was referred to us by Mansoor of New Life.

We pray that she gets well soon and is back on her foot.

We have also donated Rs.6000/-, being the cost of the last Chemo cycle for Veena, who is being treated for breast cancer at Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology. The rest of the expenses where met by her family, friends and relatives. She hails from a poor family and approached us for help through one of her well-wishers.

We pray that she gets well soon.

The Wonder Youngster!

Mansoor has been our good friend for the last few months. It is amazing that this young man is helping the community around him in many ways. One of our trustees Sudha Narasimhachar felt he is worth being emulated and hence wrote a feature about him. Please go ahead and read the feature to know more about Mansoor Chetlu.

One small ray of hope!

One of the trustees of SAHYOG visited Ms.Mythili's Therapy clinic with Karthik and Nandini and was amazed! True, the hearing aids did help them to hear! She was touched by Karthik's excitement on hearing sounds for the first time. Karthik did not want to remove the aid from his ear. He repeated all the sounds that Ms.Mythili made, with full vigour. The trustee started dreaming with tears, of the day when Karthik and Nandini would be conversing normally with each other.

Thus SAHYOG donated the cost of the hearing aids to Mathru Trust and visually enjoyed the streak of joy that brightened the faces of these little kids.

SAHYOG calls for donations from one and all to see more such miracles happen. You can make a difference in the lives of the unfortunate. Join us in this journey and help us satisfy our souls. Show us ways of improving our financial strength to help more and more Karthiks and Nandinis.

Sense of hearing is indeed a boon!

Mathru Educational Trust for the Visually Challenged run by Ms.Muktha Gubbi and her friends is doing wonderful work for the development of nearly 110 visually challenged children. They run a fantastic residential school and work night and day for the over-all development of the children.

Karthik

Recently this Trust has opened a new section for helping children with multiple disabilities. As I entered this Section, little Karthik welcomed me with his innocent smile and spoke to me in sign language. 7-year-old Karthik was born deaf and dumb. I was touched to see the sparkle in his eyes and the love that he exhibited towards everybody. Ms.Muktha told me that this boy could be assisted with a hearing aid costing Rs.12000/-. We both took the boy to Ms.Mythili, the Speech and Hearing therapist. I was amazed to see for myself how Karthik got excited on hearing sound for the first time in his life, when he was tested with a hearing aid. Of course, after getting him that equipment, a lot of work needs to done to help him understand and coordinate the sounds with whatever he knows by seeing. But getting him that equipment is in itself leading him half way. SAHYOG has decided to be a part of this exciting journey of little Karthik learning to talk and joining the other normal kids. Any interested donor who wants to specifically share this joy with SAHYOG may please send in the donations.

Nandini

7-year-old Nandini is very unfortunate. She is born blind and was a student of Mathru for the last two years. During this summer, she was taken home by her parents for a holiday and health camp. She contracted a fever there and suffered facial palsy and lost her hearing capacity within a gap of a month. Ms.Mythili tested Nandini and found out that she too could hear with a hearing aid on. This too costs Rs.12000/-. SAHYOG wants to help this unlucky child to at least regain her hearing capacity. Interested donors may please send in your donations.

OUR NEW MISSION

'Helping Hands' have proposed to us that we could collect unused medicines and used clothes (in good condition), which they will distribute to needy orphanages, old-age homes and ashrams. We, therefore, request all our friends to drop in their contributions by way of unused medicines and used clothes at the following address:

SAHYOG
HIG 1212, 8th B Cross
Yelahanka Satellite Town

Needless to remind that the expiry dates of the medicines should be checked before dropping them in our donation box. Also please remember that everybody wants to look neat, clean and hygienic in the clothes that he or she wears. Please drop only clothes that are in good condition and wash them before you drop them.

Hope to travel miles with all your cooperation.

ONE MORE SMALL DEED

Harinakshi came back to us with a request for help to meet the cost of radiotherapy. We, therefore, paid Rs.10000/- towards the same. She was very touched and thanked us. All her thanks go to the kind-hearted donors, who have helped us take up her cause.

We pray to the Almighty that Harinakshi gets well soon and spends happy times with her two children.
