Chamara Madushanka, a father of two from a Sri Lankan village needs a kidney transplant, and his wife is ready to donate a kidney. But poverty keeps him walking 10 miles to the hospital for blood transfusion without getting the surgery done. 31 years old, Chamara is not able to support his family because his kidney disease is devouring his limited income. He has been going through this for several years and now in an almost critical phase. Doctors have advised him that a kidney transplant is required. Luckily his wife is a suitable donor. But this surgery requires him to stay admitted in Kandy National Hospital for several days and if he does so, although Sri Lanka’s free healthcare program may cover the expenses of the surgery, the family will face drastic financial difficulties. First of all, Chamara lives in a remote village in Galewela, and the surgery has to happen in Kandy. They will have to find a place to stay in Kandy for several days which they surely can't afford. And while being in Kandy or while being admitted to the hospital, Chamara won't be able to feed his small children. Right now they are surviving with one meal per day. And the elder child(girl) who should be going to school receives no education. His wife cannot help him financially due to the current economic condition in Sri Lanka making getting even the most underpaid jobs in the country impossible. Chamara knows that if he undergoes this surgery, his kids will go hungry for days. The only way they might survive is by begging for food. And there is no guarantee that Chamara will get any work after the lengthy recovery period he has to stay in bed. If Chamara delays his surgery, he might not live more than a few months. He cannot even afford public transport to go to the hospital twice a week for blood transfusion. If Chamara gets his surgery done, he will face severe financial problems and will not be able to afford even one meal for himself or his family. You can change this story for the better.

Gayan Pradeep is a father of three children. He has undergone a surgery due to a bone tumor in his legs and has no permanent source of income. His right knee and the adjacent bones have been removed and he is awaitng a "Proximal Tibia Megaprosthesis" surgery as a treatment. It is estimated that a sum of 1,430,000 LKR (7270 USD) will be incured for the said surgery and Gayan is not able to afford it. Gayan's wife, who herself is a heart patient, looks after their three children aged 13, 11 and 4 by selling snacks in a very small scale. This is not at all adequate to pay for their daily needs, let alone the surgery. 1.4 million rupees is a sum surely out of Gayan's reach, but if we all contribute, even in small amounts, it will add up. We will be able to help this man get back on a wheelchair if not his feet and then he can make sure that his children do not have to go hungry or drop out of school.

As soon as we heard about the little girl Sanuthi Yehansa who is suffering from Aplastic Anemia, we called her father to get more details. This little girl is currently hospitalized. Awaiting a bone marrow transplant with a hopeful smile on a hospital bed, Sanuthi is not much older than three years.

It is up to you and me to help this little girl live by donating what we can so that her farther can arrange the LKR 5 500 000 needed for her surgery. Let's make sure Sanuthi's cute smile lasts a lot longer!

This operation includes transplanting blood stem cells, which go to the bone marrow via the circulatory system and produce new blood cells, starting the growth of new bone marrow. Sanuthi is facing this procedure at such a young age. Letters from 'Gramasevaka' officer and the hospital are shown below for your reference. You can change this story for the better.

This is the English translation of the request sent to us in Sinhalese by the mother(+94781177689) of a little girl awaiting cochlear implant surgery. "My daughter is a hearing impaired child by birth. She is now three years old. Due to the nature of her hearing loss, the hearing aids used for general hearing loss are not adequate and cochlear implant surgery is the only solution. The cochlear implant used for this surgery is very expensive and the minimum price is around 3 million LKR and the best quality cochlear implant is around 5 million LKR. These devices are currently imported to in Sri Lanka only by Wickramarachchi Hearing Care. Due to the high cost, the operation is being performed at the Ridgeway Children's Hospital with the intervention of the government and a large number of people are waiting for it. Because these devices are received as aid in a very limited quantity per from another country, patients have to wait several years on the waiting list. My child has also been unable to undergo surgery since he was a year old. The disadvantage of this is that the success of the surgery depends on the fact that the surgery is performed before the age of 5 years. Doctors say that the younger the child is when surgery is done, the more successful it is, and the older the child, the more likely it is that the surgery will fail. We have been waiting for the list for 2 years and now my daughter is 3 years old. Another year has been wasted due to this and my daughter is missing out on the opportunity to have the surgery before she reaches the relevant age. If we can purchase this equipment in person, there is a possibility of surgery at the Children's Hospital within a month or two. We are very helpless as we do not really have the financial means to buy such a device. We who live in a rented house have nothing of financial value to sell or raise money with. We also have five children so I can't leave home and work and my husband runs a small business. I hope you understand my situation. I need nothing more than to hear the baby talk. I beg for your help. Going to school at the right age and getting an education will enable her to succeed in the future. My daughter's age children go to preschool now and my poor child misses it because of her hearing loss. There is nothing I can do but look at it and be mentally distressed. I would not think twice to give my daughter my ears if this could be done like any other organ transplant. The irony of fate is that it can't be done either. I once again kindly request your sympathetic attention on behalf of my child. I am requesting for your kindness and to contribute to my daughter's cochlear implant surgery. Please help my daughter hear! -Mother" You can change this story for the better.

"I became the best athlete in the Eastern Province. Born to a poor family, I could not afford even two shoes. Most days I didn't even have money for the bus when I went to training. In 2011 I was assigned to the Army and engaged in sports activities there. Although I was close to pursuing my dream of becoming like Susanthika(Olympic Medalist), I was constantly hampered by gossip, jealousy and infatuation. Although I tolerated them, my mother had a kidney transplant and the problems got worse. Since there was no one in Colombo to look after her, I had to travel to Colombo weekly wash my mother's clothes and bring new ones. But you can't come like that from the Army camp anytime. I went to the Colombo General Hospital, looked after my mother, fed her, brought her clothes and went for training. My mother had an operation and stayed there for a month without even taking a bath. Eventually I did not get to leave the camp. There was no one to take care of my mother at home. I ran a meet on the course at 13.6s being my timing (my best time was 12.4). I had to leave the game to take care of my mother. Then I legally resigned. In 2014 I got married. My husband too was born in a village full of hardships in Bibila. We both love sports so much. We now have two young daughters bu there is no place for us to stay right now. It is difficult for us to do everything with the money from my husband's salary. I had two caesarean section operations, but in 2020 I won first place without training in the 100m long jump at the National Sports Festival selections. My mother is a kidney transplant patient. Father has left us. There is not enough money for everything we need to eat, drink, play and educate our children. If we go for a loan we will get into more trouble. Can you help me build a single room with the foundation? Only one room . Also, many people say that children are left stranded and I am just running. Talent is not for everyone. Should I give up sports? A lot of trouble came. I still have the determination to try. But my first thing is the kids. They need to build their future. If I have a place to live, I can look after my children and train at the same time. Can you help me?" - TRANSLATED - -Wajira Harshi Nadeeshani You can change this story for the better.

After seeing a post about this baby's operation and the side effects that followed, we called her home today to confirm the details. They are taking care of this little girl with great difficulty at a very high cost to treat the side effects that occur after the bone marrow transplant surgery. We are quoting the story below(translated): Quote: "Its been a year since my daughter's surgery in the midst of many problems, but now there are more side effects. She has to have a blood test week after week. We posted earlier that we raised enough money. But now my daughter has a lot of side effects. The story I told has changed now . I'm going to list all the medical bills herewith. The operation was rejected due to a side effect. She had to be in Ridgeway hospital for three months. Thanks to the doctors, thanks to the dedication of many people, our commitment saved us from that situation, but now there are more problems coming up. I'm so helpless, that's why I'm asking for help again. This operation has come this far thanks to donors like you. In certain months we have spent one hundred thousad Rupees just for blood tests. A child with Thalassemia who needs to have bone marrow transplant, should start with at least 13,000,000 Rupees in hand. My ignorance of this fact has caused my child big problem today. If the side effects did not come this much money is not required. But this is something I never thought would happen. The other three kids who underwent surgery with my daughter did not have major problems. Please look at these bills and help us to cure our little baby." You can change this story for the better.
