Keralakoottam (Zurich) | Hospital expenses for Kochurani

Kochurani came to Akashapaavakal Ashramam when she was just 3 or 4 years old.  Her mom had committed suicide and dad had abandoned her.  Sisters @ akashaparavkal adopted her and raised her as their daughter. They educated her and got her married to Samson couple of years back (Kochurani served as a volunteer at Akashaparavakal till she got married). Samson hails from Karwar and he is also an orphan. When Kochurani was 7 months pregnant, sisters went to Karwar and brought her back to asharamam in bangalore as that is the tradition ("Kooti kondu pokal"). They have been taking care of her since then including her regular check-ups/scans etc.



Yesterday morning 9:15 am (01-Feb-2020) Kochurani and Samson were blessed with a beautiful girl. It's difficult to explain in words the tension/excitement/joy and all the emotions of these sisters (just 2 of them) in the last few days. Keep in mind that they have to take care of 40-45 mentally challenged women additional to all these !!!!

When one of the Sr called me to tell the good news yesterday morning, she checked whether we can use the balance amount (around 11 K) given by Madhu and team for the hospital expenses of Kochurani and baby. I checked with Madhu and got an instant yes from him. When we went to the hospital today to see the little angel, I checked with the billing department and paid 5k in hospital. Hospital staff asked to pay the balance 5K (approx) when they are discharged tomorrow (Feb 03). Total amount will be around 15k (normal delivery +  3 days in general ward)  and they already had paid 5K as advance when she got admitted.  Again, big thanks to each and everyone at Keralakoottam !  Here's few pics of the beautiful angel !  :-)
