2. Name of the Patient : Master Sushant Shivaji More (11 years old boy)
Suffering from Acute Renal Failure (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome).

He is going to need Dialysis and plasma infusions for about three months. The approximate expenditure for the treatment is Rs.60, 000/- His father and mother are working as daily wages worker. The economic condition of the family is very bad. Kindly assists the patient. Contact Person : Mrs. Swati Jadhav , Medical Social Worker , Paediatric Department , Bharati Hospital, Pune., Ph – 24375541 .

Update : Today morning I (venky) have visited the hospital and met the boy's parents and the doctors who are providing treatment to him. The kidney of the this kid is not responding and hence he needs dialysis (Rs 700) every alternate day and Plasma infusion (Rs 800) every alternate day. The hospital is providing free bed, and antobiotics. But as per the doctor he needs to take treatment for 2 - 3 months and the approx expense would be about 60,000. I have paid 25,000 for the expenses for next 2 weeks.

Note : At Friends of Children we focus on supporting students for Higher education and whatever funds we raise goes to the trust account and would be spent for the students education purpose.

Also in our Trust deed document we have specified that 100% of the funds raised from the donors would be used for the educational expenses for the students.

Now this case is quite different we intend to help two small kids who needs emergency treatment and the parents are not able to take care of the expenses.

We have done a sanity check on the genunity of the both the requirement. We intend to pay the hospital by Cash and we won't be able to involve FoC account in this bcos of the above reason.

Hence we are raising the funds as Cash or online transfer to our personal account only and would be paying to the hospital directly. And inturn we would be providing the Receipt or the Voucher which is provided by the hospital.
