Aum Amriteshwaryai Namah
Dear Amma,

My name is Jaya. My house is at Thrissur District, Kanarachikasavu. My family consists of my grandmother (70), mother (56), husband (40) and 3 daughters. My husband is a coolie and we are living with that income. We don’t have any house or property of our own. My mother is staying out of my house. As my marriage is an inter caste marriage we don’t get the help from my husband’s family. From the birth of my 3rd daughter onwards she is under some treatment. We had done the treatment in some other hospitals and she had got severe cough and scanning has been done and we came to know that she had a hole in her heart. The surgery had cost a lot of Rupees.

By taking some loans we had conducted some treatment but we are not in a position to pay back the loan amount.When we came to the Amrita Hospital, the doctors had told for a surgery, then we approached the patient service department. Then I went to see Amma for blessings alone with my daughter. Then she had been admitted to this hospital on 30th November 2006. Then she become normal and talked something, but after two days because of some problem relating to her brain she didn’t move.Then I prayed to Amma and I had full faith in Amma that she will help us. Then after some days she became normal and had continued to move.

The surgery had cost 1,51,200 and The hospital had conducted the surgery free of cost. I deliver my humble pranams to the Lotus feet of Amma for saving my child’s life. We also pray to God to gave a long life for Amma so that she can help a lot of people. We are ready to provide the patient’s photograph in order to attach it in the magazine.

Regards, Jaya Babu (mother) Thrissur.

Dear AMMA,

My name is Anandan. My family consists of my wife and our two children. My wife is a cancer patient. We are a poor family, we do not have enough money for meeting the treatment expenses. My children and I are not working and there are no earnings in our house. At this time we heard that the Amrita hospital would provide the necessary treatment for cancer patients.

Then we received treatment help from Amma three times. Firstly Rs.58,000/- was provided by the hospital. The second time was for radiation therapy, for which half the amount, Rs.35,000/- was given to us as financial aid. Then Rs.30,200/- was provided for conducting a surgery on her eyes. I am very much obliged to the doctors and staff of the hospital for taking care of my wife and also for granting the treatment help. Above all, I am expressing my sincere gratitude towards Amma for granting this amount. My family and I would like to show our deep felt gratitude to each and every staff of the hospital for their services.

Regards,

Anandan (Husband).

Our Dearest AMMA,

My name is Satheesh and I am from Perumbavoor. I am working as a driver and my family consists of my parents, wife and our daughter. From birth onwards, our daughter has had a heart problem. When an Echo scan was done, I was told that a major surgery would be required. So we came to Amrita Hospital. The doctors conducted many tests and found that there is a hole and block in her heart. They also told that if she does not undergo surgery, the disease would affect her body physically and mentally. A few days later, her hands and legs became blue in color. Doctors told us that the surgery would require Rs.80,000/-.
I do not have that much money to do the operation. My parents are also ill and they are also undergoing treatment. I am finding it very difficult to meet the expenses. I earn a small income from my job, which is not enough for daily living. Then we approached the patient service department and with their help, tests and operations were conducted. The operation had cost Rs.1,15,901/- and the hospital bared the whole amount. The doctors and staff helped us and provided us with all necessary support during our stay in the hospital. I would like to thank Amma for providing Her blessings and also for granting treatment help.

Regards, Satheesh (father).

Humble Pranams to Amma,

I am coming from Malappuram district, Karikapara. I am the youngest of four children. My father and brothers are coolie workers. My mother is blind. Three months ago we came to know that I have a problem with a heart valve. We consulted nearby doctors and they recommended an operation. Through my father’s friends we came to know about this hospital. We heard that Amma provides help to the poor people.

When we came here I underwent an ASD operation, which cost Rs.1,05,000/-. The hospital staff understood that we are poor and do not have much money to pay for the operation. With the help of Amma we did not need to pay the amount and the surgery was conducted free of cost. We are very much obliged to Amma for Her kind service. Also we thank the doctors and staff of this hospital for their help and support. Once again I would like to thank Amma for helping us.

Regards, Saleena.

My pranams to Lovable and beloved Amma,

I am Mohanan and my daughter’s name is Priya. She is 11 years old and studying in 6th standard. For the past four months, she has a severe headache and tiredness of her hands and legs. She is not able to carry her school bag and she is also not in a position to walk or eat. We took her to all the nearby hospitals and after checkup they told us that she had a hole in her heart and if it becomes greater than 8mm an operation is required. We are from a very poor family and we have already spent Rs.20,000/- for her treatment. We are not in a position to bare the treatment and operation charges, as I am a coolie worker and financially very weak.
For the treatment, we came to the Amrita hospital. As we are not able to undertake the treatment expenses, we approached the patient service department. They enquired about us and understood our situation. We are great devotees of Amma. We saw Amma and told Her our situation and from Amma’s Ashram we got a letter to show to the patient service department. As a result we did not have to pay the operation charges. On 13th she was admitted in the hospital and on 15th the surgery was conducted. The surgery had cost Rs.1,60,796/-. She is doing well now. We would like to show our sincere gratitude to Amma and thanks to all the doctors and staff of the hospital.

Regards,
K. Mohanan (father).

MRD: 445850
Age/Sex: 45 Years/male
Department : Cardiology
Date of Admission/ Discharge : 05.12.2006—13.12.2006


My humble pranams to the Lotus feet of our dear and Kind AMMA,

My name is Hamza. I am financially very poor and earn my livelihood by doing coolie works. My family consists of my wife and 2 children. I had got severe heart attack and I was always feeling very tired and was not in a position to go for work. For a long time I was under treatment in another hospital. On the advice of relatives and neighbors we consulted the doctor in the Cardiology department in the Amrita Hospital on December 2005 and continued the treatment. But no cure was found even after taking the medicines. After an Angiogram was done, 3 blocks were found in my heart and I was told that I needed to undergo a bypass surgery.


It was very difficult to buy the medicines itself, and we are not in a position to afford the cost of operation. On 5/12/2006, I was admitted to the hospital as my disease became very severe and on 7/12/2006 the surgery was performed. The surgery had cost Rs.94,600/- and it was done free of cost. We are thankful to Amma for helping us. We would like to express our gratitude to the doctors and staffs of hospital. We are always expecting the blessings and kindness from Amma.

Regards, Hamza
