Funding Request: $1,511.33 CAD
Critical Need: CNIKK0624
Marshal is 20 years old and pursuing his undergrad degree, with the generous support of his Chalice sponsor through our Kerala site. His father, Sabu, is the sole earner of the family as a daily wage worker. His family is grateful that his sponsor’s donations support urgent needs and the children’s education.
Marshal was suffering from severe stomach pain for three days. He consulted the doctors at the government hospital and followed their medication advice. After some temporary relief, the stomach pain returned.
He went to a second hospital, where a detailed exam showed that he was suffering from acute appendicitis. They immediately performed laparoscopic appendicectomy surgery. He came through the surgery well and was discharged in good condition.
But Marshal’s emergency incurred sudden bills of $1,511.33 CAD. Knowing that this is far beyond Sabu’s means, the Kerala site staff have requested to repay the expenses. These will cover Marshal’s admission, anesthesia, scans and lab work, general surgery, ICU, nursing care, and pharmacy charges.
Please note that any donations that exceed the request will be used to fund other critical need emergencies that may arise.
