Request for help - Kuttayi leg surgery (Cheruthoni, Idukki)

Dear Antony,

Hope you are doing well. I have received a request for support. I did the preliminary data collection and found to be a genuine case.

This is the case of a road tarring worker, who is suffering from femoral occlusion. This medical condition is caused due to his work, ie, melting bitumin and also due to smoking. No blood flow into his feet. As per the Idukki medical college, left foot requires removal.  Left leg is full of puss. Right leg is also infected. They suggested to shift the patient to Kottayam medical college for the surgery, but the family is unable to carry out the surgery due to lack of money.

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.

Fund Raising Request | House construction @ New Moskuli (Assam)

During the Kerala floods,  we had helped Mr Kumar's family in the house construction and painting.  This case was referred by Fr Augustine from Angamali (He came to know about our group through  a common friend).  Fr Augustine had done an amazing job in owning/executing this project and rehabilitating Kumar's family - http://tinyinitiative.blogspot.com/2019/08/kumar-house-warming.html.  Shyju had gone for the house warming of Kumar and he had met the father during that time.
