Friends, This evening I rang to Naveen's mother. She told me that till date they got Rs. 40,000.
A lady doctor there is so harsh towards them and she doesn't care to answer properly saying, 'Can you understand? You are saying you are poor. Can you get Rs. 3 lakhs?' Seems one donor from Banjara Hills Venu Gopala Rao gave the number of Mr. Srinivas, R.M. of Osmania Hospital (as told to me. I do not know if the names are correct) and told them that he will take good care. They couldn't reach him. It seems that few tests need to be done at NIMS and when they went there on saturday concerned technicians are not present. They will be visiting NIMS tomorrow. The tests cost Rs. 15000. What should be our stand? When compared to the required amount Rs. 10,000 would be negligible. Also we do not have the complete balance sheet with us and we cannot say that how much is the group fund and how much is the specific amount. I cannot promise that before May 31st. I am not interested to be a volunteer for this case. Reason: Rs. 10,000 would be of no use. Even if specific donors come forward we cannot do justice. We cannot keep on giving Rs. 10,000 for different cases for the sake of giving. It would only give us a figure at the end of the year saying that we served 12 medical cases. Purpose served in any case? No. Even in Divena's case where CM and PM fund is issued, we have to spend some 20,000 Rs. for hospital bill alone. To serve a case as a whole, we should take up one medical case in a year, to do justice, to serve purpose. My opinion as a member: I do not want to volunteer for any medical case altogether in this scenario. Either we should take up one case in a year. Or better give it up completely. Decision is left to the group. If somebody can volunteer, they can take up the case and give Rs. 10,000 to them. Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
