Surendra fights for his family!

Donation protected
Surendra needs our help.

His mother Nagarathnamma, 46 (picture above), was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Surendra was able to lend the 300000 INR (3500 Euros) from friends and family to pay for the necessary surgery in January 2021, but with the Covid situation now escalating, his friends and family need their money back.

Nagarathnamma survived the surgery but is still in a lot of pain and has problems swallowing and needs ongoing medical support.

If things were not bad enough, his 5 month old son Chiranth Sai also needed ICU treatment after birth and regular check-ups in the hospital. We hope he is stable enough right now so he won't need further treatment.

Meet Surendra.

He is 31 years old and living in Bangalore, India. He is a loving father, brother and son and the only working member of a family of 7.

He is working as a Driver in Bangalore, but since the first Covid-19 outbreak and the lockdown in India 2020 he, as many of his fellow Indian citizens, has not been able to work and provide for his family.

I met Surendra in June 2014 when I lived in Bangalore and my company hired him as a driver for my transportation in the city.

Over the year  I lived in India, I've gotten to know him as a smart, brave and determined young man with a loving heart. I met his wife at a holiday dinner they invited me to at their home. We enjoyed an amazing home cooked meal, even though they don't have much, they shared what little they had with me.

Health Care Situation India May 2021

Covid has impacted the whole world but while in the US and Europe more and more people are getting vaccinated, India is not there yet. Currently the outbreak of the second wave is surprising everyone in it's intensity and the situation is out of control.

And while the pandemic is escalating, access to healthcare is limited to those with money. The healthcare system is almost totally in private hands. Imagine for a second yourself going through this pandemic knowing that if you need hospital care and you don’t have money - you are screwed.*


Covid is hard on all of us, but some are hit harder than others.

I would like  to raise the money to cover the surgery cost so that Surendra can pay off his dept with his friends and family. Everything extra will go to him and his family so he can support them through this very difficult time.

Thank you for reading, please donate if you can.

Please also share this with your friends and family to help us exceed our money goal and make sure Surendra and his little family will get safe through this pandemic.

Thanks very much,

Eike


Me and Surendras wife back in 2014. 


About me:

I am Eike, a pharmacist and from Hamburg Germany .

I want to do my part in supporting Surendra and his family in this very difficult time. He always took care of me and made sure I was safe when I was living by myself in India and now I want to make sure his family will be safe during this time of Covid.

I have been talking to Surendra over the phone, I have seen his family of 7 living in a very small place, his mom suffer from pain after the treatment. We are in ongoing communications and I hope to be able to provide the help to them as soon as possible.
