My Dearest AMMA

I am from Mavelikara and I live in a rented house with my wife and two children. I work as a driver and we live on the small amount I get as wages. Two years ago, I had a heart attack and the doctors told a surgery was needed. Knowing this we came to AIMS and consulted with the doctors. The doctors of Amrita hospital did an angiogram, and then suggested surgery as well.

As we are financially setback, we approached the patient service department and gave the application for the treatment help. People from Ashram came to our house and enquired about us. We got the concession and the surgery was done. We received the financial aid of Rs.27,222/-. For the service they gave us, I am thankful to Amma. The doctor and staffs were very co-operative and supportive and we had not seen such a good behavior from the staff of any other hospitals. With this aid, our faith in Amma has really increased a lot.

My Dearest AMMA,

I am from Malabar district, Nilambur taluk. For the past 24 years, my wife Safiya has been having a problem with her heart valve. I am staying with my wife, sister who is a widow, and my two daughters. We are financially very poor and in this condition I do not have the financial strength to treat my wife. At this time we heard about Amrita hospital from a friend of mine and we came to the hospital and started the treatment. Since I am not having a good job, I could not arrange the huge amount for the surgery and treatment.

Then we contacted the patient service department and we approached the Ashram in Manjeri and they came to our house and enquired about us and finding that we are not in a position to arrange the amount, my wife’s surgery was conducted. The amount for Surgery was provided by Amma and with Her grace and blessings we got the treatment help of Rs.59,191/-. I am very thankful to Amma for saving my wife and we will always show this gratitude towards Amma. The doctors and staffs are also helpful and very much supportive.

To Amma,

I am staying with my wife, our four year old son, and newborn daughter. My daughter had a heart problem and when we consulted the doctors they said it required surgery. We are financially in a very poor condition and we could not arrange the large sum required for the surgery. Through my neighbors and friends I came to know about Amrita hospital and its facilities. So we came here and my daughter was admitted. When the doctors understood that we are not in a position to arrange the amount for the surgery, they told us about the patient service department.

Around Rs. 1,53,600/- was spent for the surgery and we got this amount as financial aid from the hospital. For this help and kindness we are really thankful to Amma. The hospital staff are also very dedicated. Through this surgery they saved my daughter's life and I am really thankful to all the doctors and staff. We feel it is because of the good working atmosphere this hospital is occupying the first position among others. My heartfelt gratitude to Amma for Her kind help and service.

My dearest AMMA,

I am hailing from Kasargode district, Kattikol kulamkara. I am from a poor family and for a long year my heart’s condition is very bad. For a long period I was under treatment and the doctor said that operation is required and with out operation there is no cure. The amount for the surgery was not affordable for us and at this time we heard about Amrita hospital. We heard that this hospital will help us and as a result of which we came here and we went to the Ashram in Kannur and came here.

With the blessings and grace of Amma, the operation was conducted and I am feeling better. The operation had cost about Rs.1,50,000/- and we got as concession about Rs.83,705/- and all this happened because of the grace of Amma. All the staffs were really cooperative and supportive. We wish Amma would shower all Her blessings towards us. We are providing our pranams to the Lotus feet of Amma.

My Dearest AMMA,

I am from Malappuram district, Thirurangadi Taluk. My son Abhishek is having a problem with his heart valve. We had shown him in many hospitals and for 2 years he was undergoing treatment in another hospital. The doctors of that hospital told us he needs a surgery. The surgery would cost lot of rupees and we do not have that much financial background to arrange the amount. I am a coolie worker and to arrange this huge amount is far from our reach. We understood that Amma would help us in this matter so we came to AIMS. My son’s surgery had been conducted at AIMS and Amma gave us Rs.73,000/- as treatment help. We had gone to Valikkavu to see Amma, but we didn’t get a chance to see Her. We became very sad and we decided to visit Amma when my son becomes all right.

My family and I are suffering very much because of financial difficulties. I will get only one or two works, and with the small amount I am getting as wages I cannot pay for my son's treatment. At this time Amma helped us and this is a great relief for my family and me. We went to the Ashram near our house and they told us all the procedures. The people from Ashram came to our house and saw our condition. Through this help Amma has given a new life to my child and we will never forget this help.

My name is Viswanathan. I am staying in Madarakkail house, Koonammavu with my wife and son. For the last two years I have had a heart problem and during the first attack I went to a nearby hospital for check up and there I was admitted for two months.

My son is studying in 10th standard. I have spent a lot of money for the treatment. For 6 months I had undergone treatment in the Amrita hospital and the doctor advised an Angiogram. Then I was told that there is a block in the heart, and the doctor recommended an Angioplasty. We do not have the financial strength to carry out the treatment expenses.

The hospital understood our difficulties. They gave us treatment worth Rs. 81,000/- free of cost. I would like to thank Amma for Her kindness. I would also like to thank the doctors and staff of the hospital for providing their services.

Dear Amma,

We are staying in Palluruthy and our family consists of my mother, my sister and my brother. My sister and I are married and our husbands are working as Autorickshaw drivers. My brother had an accident and because of the accident he had to undergo a surgery in which steel rods were put in both his legs and he is not in a position to do any kind of work. In this condition we are finding it very much difficult to have our daily living. At this time my mother had got a heart problem and doctors told us to have a surgery, which will cost Rs.2,00,000/-. For the past 15 years, my mother had the heart problem and because of financial difficulties we could not conduct the surgery.

At this time we came to know about the help provided by Amma and also about the services provided by the patient service department from the patients who got the help from this department. Then we met the staff in the patient service department and gave the application for the treatment help. Through the Math they investigated about us and understood that we are financially very poor. They gave us all the treatment help and in this occasion we are expressing our sincere thanks and gratitude to Amma and also to all the doctors and staffs of the department for helping us.

There the doctors found that he has a hole in his heart which could only be corrected with a surgery. They also told us about the Amrita hospital.

We told our difficulties to the patient service department and we gave a letter to Swamiji in the Ashram. They understood that we are poor and cannot afford the whole expenses for the treatment.

The surgery was conducted and with the grace of Amma, we received a concession of Rs.73,500/-. My husband is no more and my family consists of my 4 sisters, and 1 brother. My brother is working as a coolie. In this situation, we did not have the ability to arrange the huge amount for the surgery.

My name is Padmavathi. I am from Palakkad district. My 21 year old son Muralikrishnan was admitted in the Amrita hospital for an operation on his heart valve on 19th September 2006. Apart from the help Amma provided for the treatment, I had paid Rs. 55,000/- for the treatment. Three months later, another surgery was required for the valve. My husband is the sole earning member of the family, and he is a coolie worker so we cannot afford such expensive treatment. With the help of our neighbors and by mortgaging our small house and land, I paid a small amount of the treatment expenses.

Our most benevolent Amma gave the balance amount of Rs.1,21,200/- for treatment. My son and I would like to offer our humble pranams at the Lotus feet of Amma. The behavior of the doctors and staff was also very good and once again we would like to thank Amma for showering Her grace on us.

I have a brother and sister too. They both are married. My brother is working in a hotel and my sister is a housewife. We have fourteen and half cents of land which is not divided among us. My disease had started with stomach pain and vomiting. We went to the nearby hospital and had treatment. They told that it was due to gas, and they gave some medicines also. While taking the medicines there is no pain, but the pain comes every now and then.

Our neighbors belong to the Amrita family and on their recommendation, we came to the Amrita hospital for treatment. After scanning and some tests were done, we came to know that I have cancer in the large intestine. The doctors advised for an operation. My father and brother had got the same disease and now they are no more. After the surgery, there was some difficulties for me. The doctors and staffs helped me a lot to recover from the pain and difficulties. The operation which had cost Rs.56,500/- was provided free of cost and we are very much thankful to Amma. The hospital had all the modern and hi-tech facilities needed for the treatment. The doctors and staff are also very sincere and dedicated to their job. I am thankful to them also.

I am from Nilagiri, Pattavayambu. I am doing agricultural work and my family consists of my wife and two sons. My wife is not working. My elder son is doing his 1st year graduation in commerce and my younger son is studying in plus two. One year ago, I was told that I have a small tumor in my eyes and when I showed it to doctors in the nearby hospital, they said that there is some problem with the optical nerves of my eyes. I came to know about this problem by February 2006. The doctors told surgery was needed and it that it would cost 1,50,000/-. I have no way of making this much money, as we are not having enough money for our livelihood.

We heard that Amrita hospital could help us in this matter. From 2nd December 2006 onwards, my disease worsened and I began to lose my eye-sight. We went to the Ashram in Mananthavady and met Swamiji and told all our difficulties. Swamiji gave us a letter to show at the hospital. On 22nd January 2007, I was admitted here and the operation was done successfully. Even after the operation I did not get my eyesight back, but the doctors told me that the tumor has been removed and it will take some time to regain my eyesight. We got a reduction of Rs.34,516/- and we would like to thank Amma and all the members of the Amrita family. I hope Amma will provide sight for my eyes and health for my body so that I could see Amma.

My Dearest AMMA,

I am a fisherman hailing from Arratupuzha Panchayat, Kannikadu. We have four children. Two years ago, I had some chest pain. When I went to the nearby hospital, they gave me some treatment for two weeks. After I was discharged, I again had some chest pain and went to the doctor again. He prescribed some medicines and I have been taking these medicines for a long time. But I was not cured of the pain, so I went to see Amma and told Her all my difficulties. Seeing my difficult and pathetic situation, Amma sent me to Amrita Hospital. The doctors in the hospital said I needed an operation. When I told these things to Amma, people from Ashram came to my house and understood that we are financially very poor. They provided us Rs.61, 600/- as financial aid.

For two years I have been taking medicines but the pain will come now and then but with the treatment from the Amrita hospital my disease got cured. They took care of me very well. After the treatment from AIMS I did not feel any pain or difficulty in my chest. My family and I would like to express our humble pranams to our Jagath Guru Mata Amritanandamayi Devi Amma for helping and caring for us.

My name is Jayasree. I am from Kottayam district, Vayur panchayat, Chavumpathal. I am working as a servant in a house. For the past 9 years, my husband is having a breathing problem and cough and hence he is not able to work. I have 2 daughters- my elder daughter is married and younger one is studying. My second daughter is having a heart problem for which the doctors told an operation is required. For doing the operation, a huge amount was required and we are financially very poor. At this time we were informed about Amrita hospital by a doctor near our house. When we came here the operation which costs Rs.1,49,600/- was done free of cost with the help and support of the patient service department. With the blessings and kindness of Amma, my daughter is doing well. The hospital has agreed to carry out the expenses of medicines and other treatment.

Amma provided Her hands as a sort of support. I believe that Amma will bless my family and give us help and support in order to overcome all bad conditions. At the same time I am expressing my gratitude to all the staff of the hospital that took care of my child. The hospital people provided food and clothes for my child and all these things were because of Amma’s grace. I am very obliged to Amma for Her help. In this poor and pathetic situation Amma gave us support, and we do not know what to give in return. Amma knows every thought, activities and needs of the people and She will gave the same for all of us.

My dearest AMMA,

My name is Leela and my family consists of my father, mother, husband and my son. My husband is a coolie worker and we are having our livelihood from the small amount, which he gets. Suddenly one day he had a chest pain and he could not breath well. We took him to the hospital and the doctors said that his heart has a problem and an immediate surgery is needed. For the surgery Rs.1,00,000/- has to be spend. When we told the doctor that we do not have that much money for the surgery and treatment, the doctors told us about Amrita hospital. We also came to know that the hospital would conduct the surgery at a very low cost.

We met the patient service department staff and gave them the application for the treatment help. The staff came to our house and saw our situation. As a result of which we got a reduction of Rs.65, 300/-. My husband’s mother is also a heart patient, but her operation cannot be conducted under this condition. We had to buy medicines for my father and mother. My son is studying. In this situation it is very difficult to arrange the money for the surgery, so we approached the patient service department. With the help of our lovable Amma, my husband’s surgery was conducted successfully. The doctors and staffs of the hospital also provided us good treatment and support.

We are staying in Thrissur district, Melavoor. For the past one and half years, my son has been ill, and he was found to have a brain tumour. Doctors advised that radiation should be done within a month. We did not have enough money for carrying out the radiation expenses. Amma helped us with the expenses for the operation (conducted in December 2005). Thereafter She provided us with treatment aid worth Rs. 43,700/-. We are really thankful to Amma. For Her kind help and service we will always be sincere and kind towards Amma.

Regards,
Balakrishnan (father).

My Dearest AMMA,

I am from Kottayam District, Kaduthuruthi Panchayat, Vallaramparambil house and my daughter’s name is Aswathy. She is 3 years old and she was found to have a hole in her heart. The doctors of AIMS advised a surgery immediately. The surgery and the medicines would cost Rs.80, 000/-. I am a Autorickshaw driver and as a part of self-employment scheme I had taken the autorickshaw. I had to pay some amount for the vehicle. For my sister’s marriage I had taken a loan for Rs.1,00,000/-. I am staying with my father, mother, wife, child, my brother and his family. Five years ago, my father suffered from a heart attack and I had spent a huge amount for the treatment. By driving autorickshaw I am able to meet the expenses of the household and my child’s treatment. My brother is a coolie worker and the family is living off his wages.

So in this situation when the doctors suggested a surgery, with the small amount that I am getting it is not possible to do the surgery. At this moment we approached the patient service department of AIMS and told all our difficulties. We paid Rs.30, 000/- and Amma gave the balance amount of Rs.64, 400/- to us. We pray to Amma to shower Her blessings to all the doctors and staffs who cured my child’s disease through the surgery. We are conveying our heartfelt thanks and thousands of love to our dear Amma.

My dearest AMMA,

I am staying in Thrissur district, Azhamkallu along with my wife, 3 children and my mother-in-law. I work in a tea-stall and am the only employed person in the family. I have two daughters and a son. My elder child is studying in the 4th standard and the second one is in the 3rd standard. My youngest child is now going to nursery and from her birth onwards she has been sick. We came to Amrita hospital when she was four and half years old, and a heart valve surgery was performed, worth Rs.25, 000/-. Upon realizing our poor financial situation, the doctors told us about Amma's compassion towards the needy.

In this situation we approached the patient service department and told all our difficulties. People from the Math came to our house and understood our difficulties. Amma provided Rs.91,000/- for the treatment. AIMS provided excellent treatment for my child. We are very thankful for the support the staff gave us. I am thankful to all the staff of the hospital. Above all I am very thankful to Amma.

I am Padmanabhan and I am coming from Vadakara. My family consists of my wife Padmini, my son Padmakumar, and my 2 daughters Padmapriya and Varadha. From our first Darshan with Amma in 1989, we have been working for the Ashram in Vadakara. I am a retired government employee. I was working as a Deputy Director in the Local Fed Audit Department. On April 21, 2004 I had a heart attack and I was admitted in the nearby hospital. For 5 days I was in the ICU, then I was brought to AIMS for further treatment. An Angiogram was taken and other tests were also done, the total costs coming up to Rs.25,000/-. The doctors told us that operation is the only option. We are living on the Pension amount that I receive monthly and we do not have any other ways of earning our livelihood.Because of the financial difficulties, I decided to postpone the operation for 2 months. As I could not afford the operation charges, we went for Ayurvedic treatment. There were 5 blocks in my heart and doctors advised surgery again. On December 8th 2005 we went to see Amma in Vallikavu and along with thousands of other devotees we got an opportunity to see Amma. We told Her of all our difficulties and She told us to do the surgery in AIMS hospital. After the lunch we sat down in the hall and one hour later I experienced a severe chest pain. I was taken to the casualty department at AIMS. Angiogram was taken and the blocks were still present. Doctors advised that the operation should be conducted as early as possible, otherwise it would be dangerous.We had already spent Rs.30,000/-. Due to our poor financial situation we approached the patient service department for treatment help. Swami Vivekamrita Chaitanya gave us a letter and we gave the Verification Report to the Patient service department. On 15th January 2007 the operation was done. With the grace of Amma, the operation was successful, and I was discharged on 24th January 2007. It is only because of the guidance of Amma that the operation was successful. We received a concession of Rs.98,000/- and I do not have enough words to express my deep felt thanks to Amma for saving my life. My family and I would like to convey our sincere thanks and humble pranams at the Lotus feet of Amma.

To Amma,

My name is Usha Raju and I live with my 2 daughters and husband's mother. We are staying in Kottayam district, Akkalakunnu Panchayat, Mattakara. My daughter, Reshmi, has a heart problem which we came to know about when she was one and a half years old. Through tests we found that she has a hole in her heart and a surgery is required. The doctors also said that the surgery must be done before she becomes 10 years. They gave her all the needed medicines and tests were also done. Four years ago, my husband fell down from a tree and for 6 months he was lying on the bed without any movement. Then through medicines and treatment he can move now. We are living in 5 cents of land and when we heard about my daughter’s condition we felt very sad. Then we heard about the different services provided by Amma. So when a camp was conducted in our school, through them we got more information about the hospital.

We came to the Amrita hospital and approached the patient service department. The kind and courteous staffs of this hospital provided us all the facilities and help which we would not get in other hospitals. The doctors of the other hospitals told that the operation would cost Rs.1,75,000/-, but here it costs only Rs.1,00,000/-. We went to the Ashram in Chenganassery and gave the application for treatment help. The staffs of the patient service department came to our house and understood our difficulty. They granted us Rs.1,07,000/- and we only had to pay the expenses for the medicine. Amma is considered to be the mother of all mankind and we pray for Amma and for Her blessings always. We are very much greatful to each and every one of the hospital staff for the help and service they gave us. Amma is serving mankind without any discrimination and prejudice. AIMS is also serving the whole mankind by providing medicines, love and services without any prejudice.

Our Dearest AMMa,

My name is Bindhu and I am coming from Vancherikkal, Kanjankadu. My husband is a fisherman and for five months he did not have any job. Two months following our child's birth, we were told that her heart was in a very bad condition. My family consists of my father, mother and 2 brothers and they do not have any job and there are no earning members in the house. As our family is under great financial difficulties, we did not have any money for my child's treatment. We took our child to a nearby hospital first, and then we came to AIMS.

We were told that our child requires TAPVC operation, which would cost 1,28,847/-, and with Amma’s help we did not need to pay the amount, as the hospital understood that we are financially very weak. By providing this huge amount of money, Amma had showed great mercy towards us. The treatment and services of this hospital are of good quality. The doctor and staff gave great care to our child and we are very happy and satisfied with the services. For doing all this, we are expressing our heartfelt gratitude to Amma.

MY Dearest AMMA,

I am Biju, staying in Idukki district, Arrakulam Panchayat, Mulammattam Kara. Last year I married a girl from the Christian community and I belong to a Hindu one. Both the families was against our marriage. On 4th December 2006, I became a father and after the birth of our son also, our families were against us. After one week, my son had difficulty breathing and we took him to the nearby hospital. Two days later they told us to take the child to Amrita hospital. With Amma’s blessings he was admitted at AIMS. After doing some tests the doctors said that the veins in the heart are in twisted position and the surgery would require Rs.1,50,000/-. Hearing this we almost broke down.

Then we met the patient service department and told them about our pathetic condition. They enquired about me and through the Mata Amritanandamayi Math, they granted Rs.73,500/- for the operation. For saving my child’s life I am obliged to Amma. I am expressing my heartfelt gratitude for Her blessings and help. Amma will always occupy an important positon in our hearts.

But as the disease did not regress, the doctors told us that the valve must be replaced with another one. This surgery would be very expensive. As we are a poor family, we cannot afford much money for treatment.

At this time we came to know about Amma and Her hospital. We saw Swamiji in Wyanad and he gave us a letter with which we came to AIMS. With the grace of Amma, the operation which would cost Rs.1,09,048/- was conducted free of cost. We would like to sincerely thank Amma for Her help. We would also like to thank all the doctors and staff for their loving behavior and for helping us.

I am a devotee of Amma and am staying in Ernakulam District, Alwaye Taluk, Puthiyidam Village, Parapuram Karayil Janmakulamkara House. My husband is no more. For 7 years, he had been receiving treatment for Diabetes, so we had to sell our house and properties to afford his treatment. I have 3 daughters and for the past 4 months I am having some diseases. My illness had started with stomach pain and vomiting. When we heard about the camp conducted at Brahmasthanam, we went with all the scan reports and they gave a card to visit the doctor in the Amrita Hospital. Then we went to the Amrita hospital and there we got the appointment and the doctor told us it is the early stage of cancer. As it is only the early stage, it can be treated with an operation. Then we approached the patient service department and they enquired about us.

On 1 January 2006, they conducted the operation and on 8 January 2006, I was discharged. Till that time we had only heard about the Amrita Hospital and when we came here we really felt that it is actually a Temple. With the high tech facilities and with the help of the doctors and loving staff, they saved my life and gave me a concession of Rs.33,000/- through the patient service department. I would like to show my sincere gratitude to Amma and also showing my heartfelt thanks to all the staffs of the hospital. I would also like to offer my humble pranams at the Lotus feet of our dear Amma with the hope that Amma will provide Her blessings for my family and me.

Pranams to Amma,

I am Mohammed Koya and I am staying with my mother-in-law, wife and my son Huraiz. My son has been ill from his childhood onwards. When we consulted with the doctors, they gave some medicines. But for 6 months his condition was very bad. He is finding it very difficult to go to school because his hands and legs are always feeling tired and he is frequently affected with fever and chest pain. We took him to the hospital and blood test was done and the docotrs recommended an Echo Test. When Echo Test was done, the doctors said that there is a hole in the heart and an open-heart surgery is required. Then we consulted in other hospitals, they also told us the same thing. Then we came Amrita hospital. Two years ago we had spent Rs.1,00,000/- for another surgery. I have not been able to repay that amount till now. When I heard about my son’s disease and surgery, I was really shocked. I cannot afford such a huge amount.

I heard that Amma will help us and we approached the patient service department and they gave us a letter and enquiry was done. Amma who helps the poor people whole-heartedly helped me and gave a treatment help of Rs.57,000/-. We are really very happy and I express my heartfelt thanks to Amma. I would like to pray to God to give a long life to Amma. I got the opportunity to meet Amma and I will surely come to visit Amma when my son becomes all right. The behavior of the doctors and staff are also good and dedicated. Above all, the staffs of the patient service department came to see my son while our stay in the hospital. I am really very thankful to Amma for Her help.

Regards,

My Humble Pranams to AMMA,

I am Mohammed and I am staying in Palakkad District, Poothalakkal house, Edathanadu. I am working as a coolie and my Wife’s name is Subaida. We have 4 children, Saligal, Jumaila, Jubria, Junaith. We have a small house on 5 cents. For the past 8 years, I have had a heart problem and by giving a donation of 1001/-, the operation had been conducted at AIMS. Then I had undergone some checkups with a low cost in Amrita hospital. My daughter Jumaila (19) also has a heart problem, and the doctor had recommended for a valve transplant.

Doctors told us that her surgery would cost 35,000/- and we arranged a sum of 15,000/- and were not in a position to arrange the balance amount as I am a coolie. I was hoping for the kindness and help from Amma. By the grace of Amma the surgery has been conducted and by paying the balance amount of 25,400/- the hospital authorities had showed great kindness towards us. I am very much thankful to Amma, the doctors and other hospital staff for providing us such help. They also provided 5000/- for a surgery conducted for the heart valve. The behavior of the doctors and the staffs was also very pleasing and helpful.

Regards,
Mohammed (father).

My Dearest AMMA,

I am Mohammed Koya and I am staying with my mother-in-law, wife and my son Huraiz. My son has been ill from his childhood onwards. When we consulted with the doctors, they gave some medicines. But for 6 months his condition was very bad. He is finding it very difficult to go to school because his hands and legs are always feeling tired and he is frequently affected with fever and chest pain. We took him to the hospital and blood test was done and the doctors recommended an Echo Test. When Echo Test was done, the doctors said that there is a hole in the heart and an open heart surgery is required. Then we consulted in other hospitals, they also told us the same thing. Then we came Amrita hospital. Two years ago we had spent Rs.1,00,000/- for another surgery. I have not been able to repay that amount till now. When I heard about my son’s disease and surgery, I was really shocked. I cannot afford such a huge amount.

I heard that Amma will help us and we approached the patient service department and they gave us a letter and enquiry was done. Amma who helps the poor people whole-heartedly helped me and gave a treatment help of Rs.57,000/-. We are really very happy and I express my heartfelt thanks to Amma. I would like to pray to God to give a long life to Amma. I got the opportunity to meet Amma and I will surely come to visit Amma when my son becomes all right. The behavior of the doctors and staff are also good and dedicated. Above all, the staffs of the patient service department came to see my son while our stay in the hospital. I am really very thankful to Amma for Her help.

My Humble Pranams to AMMA,

My name is Rajesh and I am from Kozhikode district, Vadakara taluk, Valiyapally panchayat. My family consists of my mother and two sisters. My father expired 11 years ago. My father died when we were in a very bad financial condition. After my father's death, I had to look after my family. My elder sister is having a heart problem from her childhood onwards. We had taken her to many hospitals. She underwent a lot of treatment and a lot of money was spent for the medicines and treatment, but her illness was not cured.

At last, we came to Amrita hospital, after all the tests were done the doctors told she needed a surgery which will cost Rs.1,60,000/-. There is no way we could make that much money. Through the patient service department, people came to our house and enquired about us. Then we got a help of Rs.81,244/-. Amma showed kindness towards us by helping us. We will never forget the help provided by Amma in our whole lifetime. Through the kind and lovable behavior, Amma shows the right way to mankind.

Regards,
Rajesh (brother) .

My Dearest AMMA,

My name is Moidu and I am from a poor family. I have 3 children and this is my 3rd daughter. From the 2nd day of her birth onwards, she had some problem relating to her heart. We consulted doctors in other hospitals and they told us they did not have the facilities required for her treatment. Then we came to Amrita hospital with the hope that our Beloved Amma who serves for mankind will help us. My daughter was admitted in the hospital and a surgery was done. With the grace of Amma, my daughter’s disease was cured.

The surgery had cost 1, 62,475/- and they had done the surgery free of cost. I am delivering my humble pranams on the Lotus feet of Amma. I sincerely show my gratitude to the doctors and the staff of AIMS hospital for saving my child’s life. I am also expressing my sincere thanks to the Patient service department and its staff.

Regards,
T.H. Moidu (father).
