Organ donations are increasingly saving lives and organs are being transplanted across gender, caste and religious identities in many states of India. These acts of solidarity and generosity are something to celebrate. However, there is a spoiler in this inspiring tale.

Organ transplants in India are prohibitively expensive

A huge number of organ failure patients are not benefiting from this life-saving procedure advancement in medicine. They are ill-equipped to bear the financial burden of the transplant and subsequent follow-ups and therefore cannot avail this option.

There are very few public hospitals performing transplants. More than 95% of organ transplants, especially of organs like the liver and heart are currently performed only in the private sector where costs range from Rs. 20 to 25 lakhs. Even the relatively less complex kidney transplants cost between Rs. 8 to 10 lakhs.

Like in many other spheres, the poor by the accident of their birth stand little chance of receiving life-saving transplants.

More State Governments need to pave the way for making transplants affordable and help patients with post-transplant medication support. Until then, NGOs and such entities need to come forward to bridge the gap.

MOHAN Foundation has been working relentlessly to increase the deceased organ donation rate in various states, across India. It gives us great pleasure to now announce our endeavour, Anudaan ' Making Transplants Affordable for providing help to the economically poor and needy patients, so that they also can have access to life-saving organ donation and transplantation.

This endeavour has been made possible by the generosity of philanthropic individuals, corporates and other entities. We encourage contributions to the corpus so that more patients can be supported under this initiative.

On January,21, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Gleneagles Global Hospitals, Hyderabad requesting financial aid for Baby Aaradhya, who was admitted to the hospital on January 11, 2021 with the diagnosis of fulminant liver failure due to Wilsons Disease. The family was given the option of liver transplant and Aaradhya's mother volunteered to donate a part of her liver.

Anudaan Team contacted Mr. Winner Akunuri, the father of Aaradhya. He was in despair and shared that as if the agony of knowing that his 6 year old daughter had to undergo a liver transplant and that his wife was to donate a portion of her liver, they had the added distress of raising an exorbitant amount 18 lakhs for the transplant. After selling a piece of an ancestral land, asking friends & relatives and dipping into his savings, he had managed to raise 7.5 lakhs. This desperate father also set up an online fundraiser on MILAAP and raised another 2 Lakh. Read More



The Anudaan team could hear the fear and desperation in the father's voice, but at the same time, there was a firm determination to save his daughter. After connecting with Mr. Akunuri, Anudaan team decided to support the transplant of his daughter. The team approached Transplants Help the poor Foundation, one of the Anudaan's partner, and they committed 2 lakhs towards Aaradhya's transplant. MOHAN Foundation also connected with Mrs. Bhavna Jagwani, Convener of MOHAN Foundation Jaipur Citizen Forum (MFJCF), who garnered more support through her network of family and friends. Anudaan team approached Gleneagles Global Hospitals and motivated them to give some concession on the total cost of the transplant as the family's economic situation was very poor and the child needed an immediate transplant. The hospital then offered a discount on the transplant.

MOHAN Foundation managed to raise 6.5 lakhs for Aaradhya through Anudaan. Through this collaborative effort, the transplant successfully took place on January 16, 2021.

Baby Aaradhya, hailing from Sirsapalli village, Huzurabad, Telangana, belongs to a low-income family that could never afford such an expensive transplant, without the support provided by 'Anudaan ' Making Transplants Affordable'. Mr. Winner Akunuri was working as an executive in a small company near his village. He had to quit his job so that he could take care of her daughter. The family's journey till Aaradhya's transplant was very sad and heart- wrenching. The family was living a very happy and smooth life until they heard about Aaradhya's liver disease. In November, 2020 Aaradhya had mild fever which went on for 2 weeks. Mr. Akunuri then took his daughter to the local pediatrician and took medication for 5 days. Unfortunately, the child's health condition was not improving and her stomach started swelling. On December 12, 2020, she was found unconscious on the bed. She was immediately taken to a hospital in Warangal, which is 40 kms away from their village. As her health condition was critical, doctors' referred the child to Rainbow Children's hospital, Hyderabad. After treatment and observing Aaradhya for 2 days, the doctor informed the family that she was diagnosed with fulminant liver failure and needed liver transplant and that was the only way to save her life. The family was shocked after receiving this information and to hear that the liver transplant would cost around Rs. 20 Lakh. They could have never imagined that this young, ever-smiling child would be diagnosed with such deadly disease.

Because of the poor economic situation of family, the child was then shifted to a Government Hospital called ESI Hospital, Hyderabad where Aaradhya could not receive proper treatment and care. She was admitted there for 20 days but no improvement in her health could be observed. Her health condition was getting worst day by day. In desperation Mr Akunuri asked the doctors, 'How can I save my daughter? Tell me where should I go to save her life??' But he did not receive any response. But he was determined to save her daughter's life and decided to be strong and never lose hope. That is when, he started seeking help and information from his relatives and friends for Aaradhya's transplant. He then heard about MOHAN Foundation from one of his seniors in the company where he used to work. He immediately contacted the Foundation's team in Hyderabad. Aaradhya was admitted to Gleneagles Global Hospitals, Hyderabad and Anudaan came into action.

'I thank everyone who worked round the clock to bring back smiles to our family. We will always be grateful to MOHAN Foundation, MFJCF and Transplants Help the poor Foundation'. Says Winner Akunuri, Father of Baby Aaradhya.

Both Aaradhya and her mother have recovered and slowly started living a normal life. Mr. Akunuri is a very good father. He is currently taking care of his two children as his wife is unable to look after children as she needs enough rest.

Aaradhya is very happy to receive a new life. She can be seen playing with her younger brother or doing her favourite activity that is drawing & painting. After a long health battle, she has been gifted with her precious childhood, when she can laugh, play, study and achieve her dreams. While she was admitted to Gleneagles Global Hospitals, the surgeon lovingly asked her- 'What do you want to become in future?' With a bright smile,she replied- 'I want to be a liver transplant surgeon so that I can also save lives of many people like you'.

On February 10, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan - Making Transplants Affordable' team received a mail from one Ms Shirisha Guntaka from Houston, USA requesting help for a young 27 year old woman, J. Susmitha, requiring a kidney transplant. She had come to know about Susmitha as they both hail from Telangana. Moved by the plight of this young girl, Shirisha set up an online fundraiser. 'I got their case as a request for donation. Looking at their condition & after studying their financial issues, I started a fundraiser for them, but was unable to raise the money needed for surgery. I anyway told them to go ahead with the surgery and promised them that I will personally pay if I am unable to get donations.' This Good Samaritan had raised 40% of the surgery cost on the online fundraising campaign on 'gofundme' but had hit a roadblock thereafter. That's when she reached out to MOHAN Foundation.

Anudaan Team looked closely at the request and after receiving the required information and the requisite documents, decided to support Susmitha with her transplant. MOHAN Foundation contributed 2 lakhs and also worked closely with the hospital to bring the transplant cost down and Susmitha successfully underwent a kidney transplant on April 1, 2021. Read More



J. Susmitha hails from a small village called Aagapet in Telangana. She is a housewife and mother of a 5 years old son. Susmitha is a Bachelor of Arts in literature (Telugu) and wishes to be a teacher but her dreams are on hold currently because of health problems. While they lived in the village, she had to go to Warangal for dialysis thrice a week. She was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease which started due to Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH). They lost their child at 7 months of pregnancy which is the first time Susmitha got high BP during pregnancy. While she lost the baby, she herself survived but with failed kidneys.

Susmitha's husband was an employee at an airport, but had to quit his job when he learned that his wife was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and needed to be taken for dialysis thrice a week. The family has obviously been undergoing financial struggles. When the doctor advised an immediate Kidney Transplant, her mother happily came forward to donate kidney to her beloved daughter. But due to their poor economic situation, the family could not have borne the entire expense of the transplant. That is when they started reaching out to friends and relatives and the word spread.

Both she and her mother have recovered and are slowly returning to a normal life. 'I would like to thank MOHAN Foundation from the bottom of my heart for giving me a second life.' - says Susmitha.

Somani Jatothu, Susmitha's husband says, 'I am very happy now. With support from MOHAN Foundation, the transplant went very smoothly without any fear. MOHAN Foundation is truly God's gift to us.' He now feels confident about returning to a full time job.

After the transplant, Shirisha wrote to the Foundation saying, 'We can't thank you enough for your kind donation! This is a moment where expressing gratitude is beyond words. In addition to helping by donating, you had also sincerely requested hospital management to reduce the surgery cost & got the estimate revised to 8.8 lakhs. You also worked with the transplant coordinator directly and showed that the family is not alone. MOHAN Foundation's presence and support has made a big difference in making the hospital management understand Susmitha's financial background & need to reduce cost.'

On March,2, 2021, Anudaan - Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore requesting financial aid for 21 year old Sujatha Chowgule, hailing from Selcete, South Goa diagnosed with decompensat liver diease (Autoimmune hepatitis). Sujatha belongs to a poor family and was in need of an urgent liver transplant and hence the hospital took the decision to find financial support for the transplant.

The total cost of Liver Transplant was Rs. 15 Lakhs, out of which, the family could only manage to contribute Rs. 2 Lakhs. So, raising the rest amount for the transplant became a major challenge for the Hospital. To begin with, Aster CMI Hospital started a crowd funding on KETTO for Sujatha's transplant. At this time, they approached MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team to help them in raising additional funds.

Anudaan team contacted Mr. Somnath N. Chowgule, Sujatha's father who shared that they could not afford the transplant as as he was a poor man and worked as a civil contractor in his village. Due to COVID-19, he was not getting much work. He could hardly feed his family of 6 members with his meager income. Read More



He had somehow kept aside one Lakh from his savings borrowed one Lakh from his family members. The family had no means of raising the balance Rs. 13 lakhs that they had been quoted for the transplant. The disheartened father requested Anudaan team to support and save his daughter.

Anudaan team also contacted Sanika Chowgule, age 23, elder sister of Sujatha. She informed that Sujatha had been a fighter and stayed positive and strong since the day, when she heard about her liver disease. Though, she was aware that the family could not afford her transplant, she never lost hope. She kept telling us ' Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I am not going to die.' Sanika said it was her strong will power, which gave hope to all the family members.

After thorough discussion with the family members, Anudaan team decided to support Sujatha's transplant. The team coordinated with Transplants Help the poor Foundation, one of the Anudaan's partner, and they committed their support towards Sujatha's transplant. The Praveen Aggarwal Foundation also decided to provide financial aid for the transplant. MOHAN Foundation raised Rs. 2.5 lakhs. Through this collaborative effort, Sujatha successfully underwent liver transplant on April 19, 2021.

Sujatha is a hardworking and determined young girl. Since her childhood, she has an ambition to be a Fashion Designer. Sujatha has now returned to her hometown and is slowly resuming a normal life. She has restarted her studies and looks forward to becoming financially independent so that she can support her family.

Testimonials:

'Thank you so much MOHAN Foundation for showing so much concern towards me. I am now living a new life with your grace'- Sujatha Chowgule

'I would like to thank MOHAN Foundation as they have done a very good job. Without them, my sister's liver transplant was not possible. They have given her a new life.'- Sanika Chowgule, elder sister of Sujatha

On June 7, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru requesting financial aid for Kaminiben Parmar's Liver Transplant.

Anudaan team also received an email from Mrs. Sherryna Contractor from Ahmedabad, Gujarat requesting help for Kaminiben as she is the daughter of one of her employees, associated with her for a long time. The generous family of Mrs. Sherryna had been supporting Kaminiben's family in the time of need.

Kaminiben's father, Mr. Shankarbhai Parmar informed Mrs. Sherryna about the failing health condition of her daughter and how there was no improvement in her health despite treatment from many hospitals. He told her, 'What life is this for our girl?' She vomits blood and is extremely weak. She is losing her best years to a failing liver and we are unable to save her life due to our financial status. The pain and fear filler in her eyes are a constant reminder of how we are failing as parents.' Disheartened and confused Kaminiben's family was losing all hope. Read More



Mrs. Sherryna's family decided to help Mr. Shankarbhai's family and started contacting other big hospitals for Kaminiben's better treatment. After visiting many hospitals, she was taken to Zydus Hospital, Ahmedabad, where her treatment and liver biopsy was done. That's when, the family received the shocking news that Kaminiben would die if she did not get a liver transplant at the earliest.

Kaminiben Parmar, age 23 belongs to Dohad, Gujarat. Her father works as a driver in Mrs. Sherryna Contractor's house. He earns Rs. 15,000 per month which is the only source of income for the family.

Kaminiben's heart-rending story started when she was studying in 7th standard. One day, after waking up in the morning, she suddenly started vomiting blood and had a gnawing pain in in her stomach. She was then immediately taken to Gastro Care Hospital in Vadodara, where her CT scan and liver biopsy was done. The family was informed that Kaminiben was suffering from a perilous liver disease, which is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excess copper stored in the liver. The family was in shock to hear this information. She was then referred to Zydus Hospital, Ahmedabad for further treatment and tests.

In March, 2021, Mr. Anil Srivatsa, Managing Trustee of Gift of Life Adventure Foundation met and spoke to Kaminiben's family making them aware about living donation and advised them to contact Dr. Sonal Asthana from Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru. This positive discussion gave hope to the entire family and many of them stepped up to donate a portion of their liver to save their beloved Kaminiben's life. After consulting Dr. Sonal Asthana and conducting few diagnostic tests, it was confirmed that the mother was a suitable match.

Though Mrs. Sherryna's family supported the family with travel expenses from Gujarat to Bengaluru, pre transplant hospital charges and medical expenses but to support Kaminiben's liver transplant, which cost Rs. 15 Lakh, was beyond their limits. That's when Aster CMI Hospital and Mrs. Sherryna approached MOHAN Foundation for financial aid.

Anudaan Team looked closely at the request and after receiving the required information and the obligatory documents, decided to support Kaminiben with her liver transplant. MOHAN Foundation motivated the hospital to give some discount in transplant cost as the family's economic condition is poor. MOHAN Foundation contributed 2 lakhs and with support from other NGOs, Kaminiben successfully underwent a liver transplant on June 22, 2021. Both surgeries of mother and daughter were successful. Each new day has found her stronger and healthier. Kaminiben has developed a good appetite and is eating well. Her mother is also recuperating.

MOHAN Foundation wishes for their speedy recovery so that they can embrace the new life awaiting them, especially young Kaminiben. After receiving the gift of life, she has decided to continue her bachelor's degree in Arts as she aspires to be a lawyer in future. She is now committed to fulfill her dreams.

'I would like to thank MOHAN Foundation from the core of my heart for giving me a second chance to live and to fulfill my dreams.'- Kaminiben Parmar

'A young girl, who had to let go of all her dreams, her education, aspirations of a career, of marriage, of a future family just because she suffers from a rare liver condition. We were aware that Kaminiben was fighting a rare liver condition. We have been supporting her medical treatment. Unfortunately, her health condition worsened and she required a lifesaving liver transplant. The cost of the transplant was something beyond most families reach and Mr. Shankarbhai could not have afforded the transplant. We approached MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team for help and we are so grateful for their financial aid. Thank you so much for helping Kaminiben dream again'- Mrs. Sherryna Contractor

On June 28, 2021, Anudaan- 'Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Star Hospitals, Hyderabad requesting financial aid for 21 year old Sandya Debbati, hailing from Nizamabad, Telangana. She was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, stage 5 and was on maintenance hemodialysis and required an immediate kidney transplant. Sandya belongs to a poor family. Her family could not afford to pay the huge cost of kidney transplant so the hospital decided to seek financial support for the transplant.

The total cost of kidney transplant was Rs. 5.3 Lakhs, out of which, the family could initially manage to contribute Rs. 3.5 Lakhs which they borrowed from their relatives and friends. As the family was determined to save Sandya's life, they managed to collect Rs. 80,000 more from their friends. Still, raising the balance amount for the transplant became a major challenge for the Hospital. They approached MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team to help them in contributing additional funds. Read More



Anudaan team contacted Transplant coordinator at Star Hospitals and Sandya's brother who shared that they could not afford the transplant as his father, Mr.Chinna Sailu Debbati works as a daily wage laborer earning Rs. 10,500 per month. He could hardly feed his family with his meager income. The disheartened family requested Anudaan team to support and save the precious life of their beloved Sandya.

After thorough discussion with the family members, Anudaan team decided to support Sandya's transplant. She successfully underwent kidney transplant on June 30, 2021.

Sandya Debbati is a trained singer in classical singing. She loves music. Pre Transplant, she was pursuing Bachelor Degree in Arts. Being a hardworking young girl, she aspires to be a renowned singer since her childhood. Her misery began in July, 2019 when she suddenly fell down on the floor, having breathing issues. She was immediately taken to Star Hospitals, Hyderabad where she underwent several tests. She was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and was on dialysis for a very long time.

In June, 2021, Sandya's health condition got critical. The doctors at Star Hospitals informed the family members that she needed an urgent kidney transplant to live and there is no other option. Her mother was the suitable donor who happily donated her kidney to her loving daughter. MOHAN Foundation contributed Rs. 1 Lakh for Sandya's kidney transplant.

Both Sandya and her mother are slowly resuming a normal life. Sandya is planning to continue her studies as well music classes soon so that she can fulfill her ambition.

On July 13, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team received an email from Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mumbai requesting financial aid for Rohit Singh Rajawat's kidney transplant. He was suffering with chronic kidney disease. Rohit belongs to a poor family and could not have afforded the urgent kidney transplant that he was in need of, so the hospital took the decision to raise financial support for the transplant.

Anudaan Team contacted the hospital and Rohit's family. After thorough discussion with the transplant coordinator at Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Centre and Rohit's family members, Anudaan team decided to support the transplant. As part of the core principles of Anudaan, the team believes in collaborative efforts by the treating hospital, applicant's family, other NGOs to support underprivileged people. Hence, Anudaan team encouraged the hospital team to offer a discounted price for Rohit's kidney transplant. MOHAN Foundation contributed Rs. 1 lakh. Read More



The family had also raised some money through crowd funding (Impact guru). Rohit successfully underwent kidney transplant on July 30, 2021.

'No matter how hard life is, don't lose hope' ' The saying stands true for 33 year old Rohit Singh Rajawat, a resident of Bhind, Madhya Pradesh. His father, Mr. Jagatpal Singh Rajawat is a farmer, earning approx. Rs. 60,000/per year. Farming is the only source of income for the family. With family's meager income, his father could not afford the cost of son's transplant which was initially Rs. 8.4 lakhs but thankfully was reduced to Rs. 4 lakh with efforts of MOHAN Foundation and with help from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Mumbai. For a farmer, Rs. 4 Lakh is a huge amount to collect and give to the hospital. Hence, Rohit's father had to borrow money from his relatives/friends and sold some part of his land but unfortunately, a huge part of the money was spent on Rohit's regular dialysis, pre transplant health checkups and bed charges at the hospital. That is when; the hospital approached MOHAN Foundation for financial aid.

Rohit is passionate about computer hardware work and programme coding. Pre Transplant, he used to run cyber caf' and to get Annual Maintenance Contracts form the local companies for hardware installation, programme coding etc. A father of twin sons and a daughter, he was living a beautiful life with his family until he heard about his kidney disease which completely changed his life.

In July, 2020, he started feeling uneasy. He was having breathing problem and coughing. His legs and hands started to swell. During that time, novel COVID-19 had hit India for the first time and everyone in the family suspected it to be COVID. He was immediately taken to Pariwar Hospital Multi Speciality & Research Center, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. After several tests, the doctors informed the family that it was not covid but chronic kidney disease. This information of course came as shock for Rohit and the family.

Since Rohit's health condition was not improving, the family members took him to SMS Hospital, Jaipur. But they had to return from there as SMS was not doing any elective transplants given their rising COVID load. Disheartened family returned back to Gwalior unsure about future course of action.

One of their relatives suggested them to take Rohit to Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Centre. Rohit was immediately admitted when he reached there. He had to start regular dialysis as his kidneys were no longer functioning. He was on dialysis till July, 2021. The doctors counseled the family and advised them for kidney transplant which was the best option for Rohit to live a normal and happy life again. The family was informed about living kidney donation. After several tests, Rohit's mother was found suitable to donate one of her kidneys. She gladly came forward to donate her kidney as it was a matter of her beloved son's life.

Both Rohit and his mother are now doing well.

A post graduate in Masters of Commerce and a trained person in hardware networking, Rohit, now wants to fulfill his dream that is to become a successful businessman in the field of computer hardware and networking.

'My family and I thank MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan Team for supporting us in the time of adversity and helping us to get through the tough time. Our family will always be grateful to them.' - Rohit Singh Rajawat

On July 3, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team received an email from Kamineni Hospitals, Hyderabad requesting financial aid for Gowtham Phanitej's kidney transplant. He was a patient of CKD stage V-ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease) on maintenance Hemodialysis, Dilated Cardiomyopathy. At this stage of CKD, the opportunity to treat a patient with drug therapy is almost lost. Hence, the doctors affirmed that kidney transplant is the only option for improving Gowtham's heart function. Gowtham belongs to a poor family and the kidney transplant was required on an urgent basis and therefore the hospital took the responsibility to raise financial support for the transplant.

Anudaan Team was contacted by the hospital. After thorough discussion with the transplant coordinator at Kamineni Hospitals and Gowtham's family members, Anudaan team decided to support the transplant and encouraged the hospital team to offer a discounted rate for Gowtham's kidney transplant. MOHAN Foundation contributed Rs. 50,000 as the family had also raised some money through their friends and relatives. Read More



Gowtham successfully underwent kidney transplant on August 25, 2021. Hailing from Kheratabad, Hyderabad, Gowtham Phanitej, age 32 is a true fighter whose strong will to survive and live his dreams again, made it possible for him to endure the transplant. He got married recently and was enjoying his new life with his spouse, K. Shyamalatha, when the news of his kidney failure turned the couple's life upside down. It came as a big shock as Gowtham did not have any symptoms that indicated an imminent kidney failure. He even lost his job because of his deteriorating health condition. The burden to run the family came on Shyamalatha's shoulder and she became the sole breadwinner in the family. She works as a Telecom Engineer in a private company, earning Rs. 25,000/per month.

In June, 2021, Gowtham started feeling pain in his lower abdomen and had persistently foamy urine. They went to ShriKanth Kidney Care situated in Vanasthalipuram, Hyderabad. After doing several tests, it was found that Gowtham's creatinine level went upto 2.9 which was very high than normal level. He received further treatment and medicines from ShriKanth Kidney Care till February, 2021.

By the end of February, 2021 he was critically ill and was immediately admitted to Kamineni Hospitals, Hyderabad, where it was discovered that his creatinine level had gone up to 10 and both his kidneys had failed. This information stunned the couple. The doctors decided to put him on dialysis for some months with a hope of improvement in his health. He was on dialysis till August, 2021. Since no improvement in his health was observed, the doctors informed the couple that kidney transplant was the only option available for them in order to save Gowtham's life.

A huge part of the family's money was already spent on Gowtham's regular dialysis, pre transplant health checkups and other expenses of hospitalisation. It was difficult for them to pay the balance money to the hospital at the time of discharge. That is when; Gowtham's wife, K. Shyamalatha and the hospital approached MOHAN Foundation for financial aid.

Gowtham is slowly resuming a normal life. As he lost a lot of time battling with chronic kidney disease, he is now determined to find a job and wants to be a successful executive in a reputed firm.

On September 16, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru requesting financial aid for Master Goutham BM's Liver Transplant. He was presented to the hospital with acute liver failure, also known as fulminant hepatic failure, which can cause serious complications, including excessive bleeding and increasing pressure in the brain. It's a medical emergency that requires hospitalization. The child was immediately shifted to ICU as he needed an urgent liver transplant.

Goutham, aged 3 years, belongs to a poor family in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh. His mother, Madhulatha G is the sole breadwinner in the family. She works as a coolie, earning Rs. 5,000/per month. With the meager income, it was very difficult for her to take care of the family going as well as bear the huge medical expenses of her son. Goutham was just 8 months old when he first showed signs of illness. His eyes were pale and he complained of stomach ache. Read More



His liver had started to fail but with early diagnosis and preliminary treatment at a local hospital in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, he was able to recover. But, the mother's pain didn't end there. Her husband left her stranded with their only child.

'I stood strong to be both his mother and father. I was somehow managing our expenses and trying my best to put food on the table by working hard as a daily wager. But, the challenges in my journey kept becoming bigger.' Shared the mother, with immense sadness in her heart.

In August 2021, Goutham fell severely sick. He was shaking uncontrollably and his teeth were chattering. At first Madhulatha thought that her son was feeling cold. But, her gut told her that something was not quite right. She rushed her son to the hospital, took multiple opinions but the Gouthma's health condition did not improve. Goutham was then referred to Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore. His health continued to deteriorate on their way to the hospital. The 3-hour-long ride in the ambulance felt like the mother's worst nightmare as she saw her son slip into unconsciousness. Upon reaching the hospital, the doctors told her, that Goutham was having a seizure and needed to be operated immediately and put on ventilator support.

'Every day, it felt like my son was growing distant from me and that I was losing him. No child should have to go through such misery and for so long. I didn't want to lose my only child... My husband had already abandoned us. His health was deteriorating significantly as a result of this rare disease that was consuming him. It broke my heart to see my son in such pain' Madhulatha said.

Madhulatha shared her poor economic condition with the treating team and that she was helpless and could not afford to bear such a huge cost of her son's liver transplant, i.e. Rs. 15 Lakh. It was simply beyond her means. A ray of hope came to her when she heard about MOHAN Foundation's lifesaving initiative- Anudaan by Dr. Sonal Asthana, a Senior Consultant of HPB & Liver Transplant Surgery at Aster CMI Hospital. She was informed that Aster CMI Hospital would approach MOHAN Foundation for financial aid in an effort to save her beloved son's life.

Anudaan Team closely considered the request and after receiving the required information and the relevant documents, decided to support Master Goutham BM with his liver transplant. MOHAN Foundation motivated the hospital to give some discount in transplant cost as the family's economic condition is poor. MOHAN Foundation contributed 3 lakhs and with support from other NGOs, Goutham successfully underwent a liver transplant on September 17, 2021. The mother happily came forward to donate a portion of her liver for saving her son's life. Both surgeries of mother and son were successful.

'I am very happy now. I would like to express my happiness and gratitude towards MOHAN Foundation for saving my son's life by giving financial support. Only because of MOHAN Foundation, my child is alive today. I am a poor lady, hardly able to feed my child, how could I then afford the transplant cost? Now both my son and me are happy and slowly trying to come to a normal life. My special thanks to MOHAN Foundation.' - Madhulatha G, mother

On September 14, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Max Super specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi requesting financial aid for Master Kabyaneel Parashar's liver transplant. The child was suffering from liver cirrhosis and needed an urgent liver transplant.

Kabyaneel Parashar, age 9 months, belongs to a poor family in Darrand, Assam. His father works as an office boy and being a sole earner of the family, it was very difficult for him to afford the huge cost of his son's liver transplant. In spite of the fact that he could not contribute much financially, he donated a part of his liver which was transplanted to his beloved son. At a very young age, Kabyaneel had to suffer from a chronic liver disease and had to go through terrible and endless pain. He was born by cesarean section weighing 2 kg. When he was just 9 days old, he was diagnosed with Jaundice. After being treated, he once again got Jaundice when he was 2.5 months old. His health condition was getting worst day by day. Read More



He started having high fever, vomiting and stomach ache. Since his health was critical, he was admitted to Excel Care Hospital, Guwahati but there was no sign of improvement and the doctors referred Kabyaneel to Narayana Hospital, Bengaluru for further treatment. Unfortunately, he was tested corona positive so he was kept at COVID centre and with critical care and supportive treatment, he recovered.. But after some extensive tests, it was found that the child was suffering from liver cirrhosis and needed urgent liver transplant.

The parents were stunned to hear that their only son's life is at risk and transplant was the only option to save his life. Due to their poor economic condition, the parents decided to go back to their hometown and do the transplant later when they would have borrowed some money from their family and friends as the cost of transplant was beyond their reach. It was estimated that his liver transplant would cost around Rs. 19 Lakh including hospital charges, tests and medicines.

After some days, Kabyaneel started vomiting blood and became very sick. He was again taken to Excel Care Hospital, Guwahati, where he received treatment for a few days and was referred to Max Super Specialty Hospital, New Delhi. The parents received some positive responses from the doctor at Max Hospital. They were informed about crowd funding and MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan for financial support for Kabyaneel's liver transplant. The family and the hospital immediately approached Anudaan Team.

MOHAN Foundation contributed Rs. 2 Lakh for the liver transplant and with the support from few other NGOs and Max hospital's subsidized cost for transplant, it was made possible for Kabyaneel Parashar to successfully undergo a liver transplant on September 24, 2021.

Kabyaneel is recovering and slowly resuming a normal life. His mother's happiness is unbounded when she watches her son playing and smiling. His parents wish that he becomes a teacher in the future.

'Thank you so much for saving my child's life with your financial support' - Mrs. Sumi Kalita, Mother.

'I want to express my gratitude towards MOHAN Foundation for offering financial aid for my son's transplant. Please keep up the lifesaving work that you are doing' - Mr. Mridul Kalita, Father.

On September 22, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi requesting financial aid for Master Aryan Kumar's Liver Transplant, who was suffering from liver cirrhosis and needed an urgent liver transplant.

Master Aryan Kumar, age 6 months, belongs to a poor family in Shahbad Dairy, North West Delhi. His father is the sole breadwinner in the family, who works as a field boy in a private company, earning Rs. 7,500/per month. With the meager income, it is very difficult for him to keep the family going as well as bearing the huge medical expenses of his son. The father donated a part of his liver which was transplanted to his only beloved son. Aryan's mother is the real hero of the tragic journey of her son undergoing a successful liver transplant. She used to work as a sales executive in a private firm but she had to quit her job after the birth of her son. 'Aryan is our first and only child. We had been waiting excitedly for his arrival for months. I thought the day he was born would be the happiest of my life.' - mother said. Read More



Unfortunately, the newborn had to go through lot of suffering and pain. A few days after his birth, Aryan's whole body started getting pale. The nurses had noticed that his skin and eyes were pale so they took him to be tested for jaundice. 'I had barely got any time with my newborn when he was taken away from me. I prayed that his condition wouldn't be serious and the doctors assured me that it was common for newborns to be diagnosed with jaundice.' - mother said with fear. Aryan was shifted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). After carefully examined and intense treatment, he recovered and was discharged from the NICU after a few weeks.

However, Aryan's condition was deteriorating again. His eyes were still pale yellow and his stomach was slowly swelling more and more each day. He was just 21 days old when he was again admitted to a local hospital but his health was not improving. The parents decided to take their child to a prominent child specialist in Delhi with a hope that their child would receive better treatment and his sufferings would come to an end.

The parents were disappointed again when Aryan showed no sign of improvement. His health condition was getting worst day by day and the parents were terrified and confused about their son's life. But they did not lose hope especially the mother. She was determined to save her son's life. After some discussions with friends and relative, the parents took Aryan to a big hospital named Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital, where the doctor revealed that Aryan had biliary atresia, a blockage in his tubes and it had caused liver cirrhosis. The parents were told that their child urgently needed a liver transplant. Without it, he would lose his life. 'I was devastated. I could hardly believe my ears.' - mother said with extreme sadness.

Aryan was referred to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. Unfortunately, there was no improvement in his health and doctors could not find any way to save his life. Then one of the doctors at AIIMS suggested them to visit Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi. 'Aryan is so little and ever since his birth, he has known nothing but suffering and pain. No child deserves such a fate.'

Dr. Vikram Singh, one of the finest Pediatric Liver Transplant Surgeon at Max Super Specialty Hospital gave a new lease of life to Aryan as well as to his parents who left no stone unturned to save their child's life. Master Aryan had to go through 13 hour long surgery which was successfully completed on September 29, 2021. Due to poor economic situation, the parents could not afford to pay the huge cost of the transplant which was very high i.e, Rs. 16.5 Lakhs. 'My husband barely earns Rs 10,000 a month. We spent all our savings on getting him proper treatment and medication up to this point. Now we have nothing left and nowhere to turn to.' - mother said. Dr. Vikram and his team informed the parents about MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team for financial aid for Master Aryan's liver transplant.

The liver transplant was made possible by the collaborative efforts of MAX Hospital who gave discount on the transplant cost, MOHAN Foundation and few other NGO's financial contribution. Anudaan Team contributed Rs. 2.5 lakh towards Master Aryan's transplant.

Both the father and son are recovering well and slowly resuming their normal life. The mother is very happy to see her son smiling and free from all the sufferings. She is finally learning to enjoy her motherhood unburdened of her constant anxiety. She wishes to work hard and to give Aryan good education. Her dream is to see her son becoming a liver transplant surgeon so that he can save many underprivileged children's life without any hustle and greed.

'Aryan is my first child and he is so special. Thank you MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team for supporting my child's liver transplant and saving his life' - Mrs. Pinki Kumar, Mother.

'I am very happy now to see my child free from suffering and pain. When my health condition would improve with God's grace, I would like to donate fund to MOHAN Foundation to support their lifesaving and noble work' - Mr. Devender Kumar, Father.

On August 31, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan-Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru requesting financial aid for Baby Deeksha's liver transplant, who was suffering from congenital hepatic fibrosis and needed an urgent liver transplant. Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease that is present at birth (congenital) and affects the liver.

Deeksha, age 7 years hails from Channagiri, a town in Davanagere district Karnataka. The family is poor. Her father works as a bus driver in a private college. But after the covid-19 pandemic started, their family income took a massive hit. They were surviving on their savings. With the meager income of the family, it was very tough for them to pay a huge cost i.e., Rs. 15 Lakh for Deeksha's liver transplant. Read More



'I stood strong to be both his mother and father. I was somehow managing our expenses and trying my best to put food on the table by working hard as a daily wager. But, the challenges in my journey kept becoming bigger.' Shared the mother, with immense sadness in her heart.

In August 2021, Goutham fell severely sick. He was shaking uncontrollably and his teeth were chattering. At first Madhulatha thought that her son was feeling cold. But, her gut told her that something was not quite right. She rushed her son to the hospital, took multiple opinions but the Gouthma's health condition did not improve. Goutham was then referred to Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore. His health continued to deteriorate on their way to the hospital. The 3-hour-long ride in the ambulance felt like the mother's worst nightmare as she saw her son slip into unconsciousness. Upon reaching the hospital, the doctors told her, that Goutham was having a seizure and needed to be operated immediately and put on ventilator support.

'Nothing is more valuable than the life of my daughter. My husband and I gave away everything. Everything! We have been in the hospital for many weeks now. And there's hardly any money to afford medicines, let alone an expensive liver transplant. What do I do now? Can a parent let their child die because they don't have money? I'll beg if I have to, I just want my daughter to live!' said the devastated mother.

It all started some months ago, when Deeksha was crying a lot and there was blood coming from her mouth. The parents felt like they were trapped in the worst nightmare. They immediately rushed her to Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru, where the doctors immediately performed several tests. 'My husband and I ran from one corner to another as we only had nearly Rs.600 at the time. So, we immediately made phone calls asking for help.' mother said.

After proper health examination and tests, it was found that Deeksha was suffering from chronic liver disease. The parents were shocked to hear the earth-shattering news. 'Deeksha needs an urgent liver transplant. Her liver failure won't let her live long. It will affect other organs and even her brain at some point. To prevent that, we must make no delay in the liver transplant,' the doctor explained to the parents.

A couple of tests later, the mother found out that she was a perfect match for her child and that she will be able to save her by donating a portion of her liver. But that sigh of relief didn't last long. The estimated cost of the liver transplant was Rs.15 lakh.

After the parents discussed about their poor economic situation, the doctors at Aster CMI Hospital informed them about MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan. This information gave them a new hope. With support from Anudaan, few other NGOs and the hospital's concession on transplant cost, Baby Deeksha successfully underwent a liver transplant on October 19, 2021. MOHAN Foundation sanctioned Rs. 2.5 Lakh for her liver transplant.

Both mother and daughter are recovering well. 'Police officer, mumma. I will be joining the police,' Deeksha would say. Her ambition is about serving the society.

'Lots of gratitude to MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team for saving our daughter's life with their financial support. We are impressed by their good and lifesaving work.' - Mr. Prasanna Kumar P, Father.

On December 13, 2021, Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru requesting financial aid for Master Addwikh Tejj, who was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and decompensation. He was in need of an urgent liver transplant.

Master Addwikh Tejj, age 5.8 years hailing from North, Bengaluru, belongs to a poor family. His father works as a civil work labor. Due to poor economic condition, the family could not afford the huge cost of their son's liver transplant.

In August, 2021, Addwikh started experience drastic changes in his health. He frequently started to fall sick. Abdominal swelling, fever and paleness were the major issues that he was facing. His parents were frightened to see their son in such a terrible state. Read More



They immediately rushed to a local child specialist, where Addwikh underwent several health checkups and blood test. 'What was happening to our son all of a sudden? He always seemed to be normal and healthy.' - father said with a baffled voice.

Addwikh was diagnosed with jaundice. The parents were informed that his liver was getting infected and with proper medication, he would recover well but unfortunately his health was not improving. He was continuously falling sick, having fever and stomach pain. He was then admitted to another local hospital from where he received treatment for 4 weeks.

Since Addwikh's health was getting critical day by day, he was referred to Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru. After few tests and liver biopsy, it was announced by the doctors that the child was suffering from liver cirrhosis and needed an urgent transplant so that he could survive. The parents were shocked to get this information. They could have never imagined that their son would be diagnosed with a chronic disease.

Addwikh's mother was found to be the perfect match to donate a portion of liver to her son but collecting huge amount, i.e, Rs. 15 lakh for the transplant was a big challenge for them. They were then informed about MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan for financial support. The hospital also assured that they would give concession on the transplant cost. The parents were excited and overwhelmed by the positive response and support from the doctors at Manipal Hospitals. A few other NGOs also contributed funds towards Addwikh's transplant.

MOHAN Foundation sanctioned Rs. 1.5 Lakh for Addwikh's liver transplant. He successfully underwent liver transplant on December 24, 2021. He has been doing well since the transplant and is recovering fine.

Addwikh has been a jovial and fun loving child. Since childhood, he is fond of cars and bikes and that's why he wishes to be adventurous and wants to be a biker so that he could travel the world and gather new experiences.

'I will be grateful to MOHAN Foundation for lifelong as they have saved my son's life with their generous support.' - V. Lavanya, Mother.

On October 29, 2021, Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, New Delhi requesting financial aid for Master Devyansh Dev, diagnosed with Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia (EHBA), an inflammatory sclerosing cholangiopathy, which is the leading indication for liver transplantation in children. Devyansh required an urgent liver transplant and given the fact that family wasn't well off, the hospital undertook to support the transplant by raising funds for the same.

Devyansh, age 6 months hails from Madhubani, Bihar and belongs to a low-income family that could never afford such an expensive transplant, without the support provided by 'Anudaan ' Making Transplants Affordable'. Devyansh's father works as a social worker, earning a meagre salary which is not enough to pay even for the family's living expenses. 'Losing a child is every parent's worst nightmare. I never imagined I would have to stand by helplessly as my son fought for his life,' the anguished father said. Devyansh was born healthy, weighting 4 kgs and nobody could have ever imagined that after a few days, he would be experiencing the most painful journey to undergo an intense liver transplant. Read More



When he was just 15 days old, his eyes and body started turning pale with intermittent fever and his stomach started to swell. The parents immediately rushed to Sewa Sadan Hospital in Darbhanga, Bihar, where he was admitted for 5 days. He was kept on a ventilator and tests were performed. Unfortunately, there was no improvement in his health. The lockdown due to corona pandemic worsened the family's situation. There were fewer doctors and staff at the hospital and limited services due to lockdown which affected Devyansh's health.

As advised by some senior family members, Devyansh was taken back to his hometown. Some family members thought that ayurvedic home remedies could improve his health but his health was getting worst day by day, so the parents decided to take him to a well-known hospital for children in Darbhanga. They went to Jai Maa Shishu Seva Sadan, where they received a shocking news that their son was having some serious problem with his gallbladder and that it had to operated soon to avoid further infections. The tiny infant had to bear the terrible cuts and pain. After few days, Devyansh was discharged from the hospital with a hope that his health would improve. 'I was filled with relief when he was discharged. Since the day he was born, I have been a wreck, and anxious about my baby's health. I thought the worst was behind us when we were told he was fit to go home.' - father said.

After 3 months, Devyansh's health again started deteriorating. He was then taken to Ramwati Nursing Home, Patna, where few tests and liver biopsy were done. The parents were informed that their son was suffering from chronic liver disease and needed immediate liver transplant so that his life could be saved. The parents were stunned!

He was referred to AIIMS, New Delhi for further treatment. The doctors informed that Devyansh was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia and there was no other treatment to improve Devyansh's health condition. The parents were also informed that liver transplant was the only option to save their son's life. The cost of the transplant was estimated to be around Rs. 19.5 lakh, which was beyond the family's financial limit. During the discussion with the doctors at AIIMS, the parents came to know about Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, New Delhi, where they could receive some hope and financial support for their son's liver transplant.

MOHAN Foundation sanctioned Rs. 1.5 Lakh for Addwikh's liver transplant. He successfully underwent liver transplant on December 24, 2021. He has been doing well since the transplant and is recovering fine.

Devyansh was taken to Max Super Speciality Hospital, where the parents had a discussion with the Senior Consultant, Pediatric Neonatology about their son's health condition and their financial status. 'After spending all our savings on his previous medical bills, we no longer have the means to help our son. We are afraid that we are going to lose our baby before even his first birthday. We need your support to save his life. Please, help us before it's too late for our little boy.' - parents requested the doctor. They received positive response and were informed about crowd funding and MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan for financial support for the transplant.

MOHAN Foundation contributed Rs. 3 Lakh for the transplant and with the support from few other NGOs and Max hospital's subsidised transplant cost, Devyansh successfully underwent a liver transplant on December 31, 2021.

Both Devyansh and his mother, who happily donated a portion of her liver to his beloved son, are recovering well. His body has accepted the new organ. All his reports so far have also been showing positive progress. The parents are excited to see their son growing and enjoying his childhood. They have a desire that their son joins Indian Army one day so that he could serve his country in a same way as he received support and blessings from well-wishers from different parts of the country.

'We are extremely grateful to MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team for all their support.' - Jyoti Gupta, Mother.

'Thank you so much MOHAN Foundation for supporting our son's liver transplant. May your Foundation continue to grow and keep helping underprivileged people like us.' - Rajiv Prasad Gupta, Father.

In November, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Niramaya Charitable Trust, Gurugram, Haryana requesting financial aid for Mrs. Rukman Ahirwar's corneal transplant.

Mrs. Rukman Ahirwar, age 70 belongs to Chattarpur, Madhya Pradesh. She has struggled so much in her life. She has been widowed for many years. Her husband passed away in 1993. From raising four children alone to taking care of her home and small agricultural land, she has done it all single handedly. Her youngest son is the sole earner in the family who works as a daily wage labourer. Read More



She had been suffering from a corneal eye condition called cataracts. A cataract is a layer that has grown over a person's eye that prevents them from seeing properly. Her left eye cataracts has resulted in serious sight loss and has affected her ability to work and be independent.

Mrs. Rukman's major eye complications started in January, 2021. She suffered from left eye pain, irritation and cloudy vision. After getting medication for some months, she was taken to a local eye clinic in Chattarpur, Madhya Pradesh. After few eye tests, it was found that she was suffering from a serious eye syndrome called cataracts on her left eye. The family was in shock when they heard about it.

There was no sign of improvement in Mrs. Rukman's eye condition after several visits to local eye clinics and medications. Her left eye vision had completely vanished and eyeball stopped moving. The family was frightened to see her condition. The family had already spent huge amount of money in her treatment and lost all hopes.

Mrs. Rukman's youngest son, who works as a daily wage labourer in Rewari, Haryana was informed about Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute in Gurugram for affordable and better treatment. He brought his mother to Gurugram and after few check-ups, the family was informed by the eye specialist at Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute that Mrs. Rukman was in urgent need of a corneal transplant as her eye condition was critical. The family informed Ahooja team that they had spent all the money they had in Mrs. Rukman's eye treatment and that they could not afford to pay for the transplant. The family was informed about Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute's trust, Niramaya Charitable Trust.

Niramaya team approached MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan team for financial aid to support Mrs. Rukman Ahirwar's corneal transplant. Anudaan team contributed Rs. 20,000 towards the transplant which was successfully performed on 02-11-2021.

'I am thankful to MOHAN Foundation for supporting my corneal transplant and giving me a gift of sight.' - Mrs. Rukman Ahirwar.

'Thank you MOHAN Foundation for all your support. It is great to now see my mother out of pain and suffering.' - Satya Prakash Ahirwar, youngest son.

In November, 2021, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Niramaya Charitable Trust, Gurugram, Haryana requesting financial aid for Mr. Kashi Nath Dixit's corneal transplant.

Mr. Kashi Nath, age 70 belongs to a poor family in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh. He is a retired serviceman who used to work as a support staff in a private firm. His story began in the month of November, 2020. One day, he realized something was really wrong. He started feeling pain on his left eye, cloudiness and burning. Read More



His family contacted an eye specialist in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh and was shocked after hearing the news that Mr. Kashi Nath was suffering from serious corneal perforation which is an anomaly in the cornea resulting from damage to the corneal surface. A corneal perforation means that the cornea has been penetrated, thus leaving the cornea damaged. The doctor informed the family that Mr. Kashi Nath's eye condition was critical and he was in an urgent need of corneal transplant. Thus began his journey through not one, but three excruciating corneal transplants in his left eye.

The family initially opted for eye treatment and medicines to get rid of his eye pain but unfortunately, Mr. Kashi Nath's eye condition was not improving. So, the family decided to visit another affordable eye hospital. Mr. Kashi Nath's eldest son, who works as an auto driver in Faridabad, Haryana was informed about Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute (AEDI) in Gurugram for better treatment of his father.

By the time, Mr. Kashi Nath underwent his first transplant in June, 2021 at AEDI, he was experiencing pain and vision deficiencies demanding that his life revolve around his worsening eye condition. The pain was constant and he experienced daily headaches and eye exhaustion. His eye condition touched every facet of his life: his personal life, his children, his job, his social life and his ability to remain physically active. He was anxious to have the procedure, get through the recovery and return to living his life the way it was before.

Two weeks after surgery, Mr Kashi Nath's family was informed by the doctor that his new cornea was not responding or functioning as expected. At two months post-surgery, his transplant was deemed unsuccessful and a second transplant procedure was recommended. In August, 2021, he underwent his second corneal transplant at AEDI. Thus began his second round of recovery complete with multiple applications of anti-rejection eye drops and high hopes for success. Unfortunately, Mr. Kashi Nath's left eye vision was not improved and he again suffered from eye pain and irritation.

After taking medicines for some months, it was decided by the eye specialist at Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute that Mr. Kashi Nath had to undergo another transplant. By that time, the family's budget for the treatment had finished and they could not afford to pay for the third transplant. That is when, they discussed with the doctors that they did not have money to pay for the transplant and they needed financial support. Ahooja team then connected the family to their trust, Niramaya Charitable Trust, where they could receive some help. Niramaya team informed the family about MOHAN Foundation's life-saving initiative Anudaan-'Making Transplants Affordable'. The family and Niramaya trust approached Anudaan team for financial Aid.

Mr. Kashi Nath Dixit was supported for his third corneal transplant. Anudaan contributed Rs. 20,000 for the transplant which was successfully performed on 06-11-2021. Mr. Kashi's left eye vision is slowly getting better and the new cornea is clear with no cloudiness, best of all, no pain! He is hopeful for his future and to do things which he likes the most after he recovers such as watching news & cricket and doing agricultural work.

'Thank you so much MOHAN Foundation to support my corneal transplant and changing my life forever.' - Mr. Kashi Nath Dixit.

'I have no words to express my joy and gratitude. With support of MOHAN Foundation, my father underwent corneal transplant. I want to congratulate the foundation for their life-saving work. May the foundation continue its extraordinary work and supporting underprivileged people like us.' - Sailesh Dixit, elder son of Mr. Kashi Nath.

On December 19, 2021 MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru requesting financial aid for Master Likhith SD's liver Transplant, who was suffering from Wilson's disease with decompensated liver disease and needed an urgent liver transplant. Wilson's disease is an inherited disorder in which copper isn't eliminated properly and instead accumulates, possibly to a life-threatening level.

Master Likhith SD, age 8 years hails from Sindigere village, Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka. He belongs to a poor family. His father is a farmer, and also teaches the school children in his village. He goes house to house for giving tuitions. The child had health related issues such as fluid accumulation in his abdomen (ascites) and loss of appetite. He started to lose weight and was having on and off fever. The father was earning about Rs. 20,000 per month (which came from his agricultural land and teaching school children) but during COVID 19 pandemic, the family income took a massive hit. In addition, they also had to borrow money from relatives and friends for Master Likhith's treatment. With the meagre income of the family, it was very tough for them to pay a huge cost of Rs 15 lakhs for their beloved son's liver transplant.

On January 8, 2022, MOHAN Foundation's 'Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable' team received an email from Niramaya Charitable Trust, Gurugram, Haryana requesting financial aid for Mr. Kalu Nath's corneal transplant.

Mr. Kalu Nath, age 56 belongs to a poor family in Kadhai Village, Ujjain District, Madhya Pradesh working as an agricultural labourer.

He had been suffering from some eye problem from a long time. He realized something was wrong with his right eye five years ago. He started feeling pain, cloudiness and burning.

Mr. Kalu's elder son, who works in Gurugram, Haryana, was informed about Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute (AEDI) in Gurugram for better treatment of his father. Looking at their father's critical eye condition, the family decided to visit AEDI with a hope that his eye problem would be fixed and he would improve his eye sight.

In January, 2022, Mr. Kalu was taken to AEDI, Gurugram for further treatment. After few check ups and proper eye examination, the doctors informed the family that he had to undergo second corneal transplant. Due to poor family economy, they could not afford to pay for the second transplant as all their savings were spent on travelling, previous corneal transplant and medical expenses. That is when, they discussed with the doctors that they did not have money to pay for the transplant and they needed financial support. Ahooja team then connected the family to their trust, Niramaya Charitable Trust, where they could receive some help. Niramaya team informed the family about MOHAN Foundation's life-saving initiative Anudaan-'Making Transplants Affordable'. The family and Niramaya trust approached Anudaan team for financial aid.

On March 11, 2023, MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan- "Making Transplants Affordable" team received an email from Shija Hospitals and Research Institute Pvt. Ltd, Imphal, Manipur, requesting financial aid for Mr. Monising Bungdon's kidney transplant. He was suffering with chronic kidney disease and needed an urgent transplantation.

Mr. Monising Bungdon, age 61, hails from Chandel, Manipur. He is a farmer, earning a meager income for his family. It was in any case difficult for him to take care of his family and to pay for his children's education. The additional expenditure on medicines and pre-transplant treatment was already taking its toll. He was finding it very hard to pay the huge cost of his kidney transplant, i.e., Rs. 6 lakhs.

At RIMS, after few tests, it was found out that his kidney was not functioning properly. Due to COVID 19 pandemic, no one was allowed to go outside the premises of Mr. Monising's residential area in his village. Read More


Hence, the family couldn't visit hospital for further health checkup for almost six months due to which, Mr. Monising's health condition got worst, which led to chronic kidney disease, stage- V.

Because of his health condition, Mr. Monising had to stop working. He had to take rest and go for dialysis 3 times in a week. His children's education was stopped. They had to help their mother in cultivation in order to survive. For the family, Mr. Monising's health and his life, was the main concern, so they decided to get the kidney transplant done at any cost. The family later went to Shija Hospitals and Research Institute, Manipur for kidney transplant.

Mr. Monising's wife volunteered to donate one of her kidney but unfortunately, her blood sample was not matching with her husband. Now the question was that who will be the donor and how to deal with the financial issues?

The doctors and transplant coordinator at Shija hospitals informed the family about MOHAN Foundation's Anudaan. Later on, Mr. Monising's daughter made her mind to volunteer for donating her kidney to her father. As she was very dear to his father, he refused to receive her kidney and told the family that it was better to die. After repeated counselling, the family managed to convince Mr. Monising to receive her daughter's kidney. It was a difficult moment for the family. After few tests, it was confirmed that the daughter was a perfect match for her father.

Anudaan team also helped the hospital in connecting with other NGOs for some more financial support to be able to raise the full amount, which was needed for the kidney transplant. With the support from Anudaan, Chief Minister Health Fund & other NGOs, Mr. Monising successfully underwent a kidney trabsplant on 07-04-2023. Anudaan sanctioned Rs 50,000 for the transplant.

Both father and daughter are doing fine now and their lives are back to normal.

It was very painful and scary, when his family learned that Laimujam was having kidney problem. The doctors at Shija hospitals, informed the family that sooner or later, the patient will require a kidney transplant and it would be the best option to sustain his life. After hearing that word 'Transplant', the family was shaken and worried up as to whom would they ask for support and how much the transplant would cost. Read More
Since Laimujam was not able to work due to his health condition, his wife had to earn money for the family expenses. 'He had to take rest. He kept smiling at me, hiding his pain. I couldn't bear the thought of living without my husband, and I consoled myself and decided to go to the local market for selling cloths as a street vendor to earn money.'-shared his wife with deep sorrow.

On February 12, 2023, Laimujam's daughter called his mother when she was in the market. She informed her mother that her father was very unwell and was having difficulty breathing. Laimujam was immediately taken to Shija hospitals.

Laimujam underwent an emergency dialysis at the ICU. His health condition was slightly improved and he got discharged after two days. The doctor explained the family that the patient had to undergo dialysis two times a week otherwise his health might be affected. The family was advised to start planning for kidney transplant. They were also informed about living donation and that one of their family members, above 18 years of age, could donate one kidney to the patient of his/her blood samples would match with the patient.
