Dear Amma,

I am Satheesh’s father Velayudhan.K.P. and I hail from a place called Kannamangalam panchayat in Malappuram district. My son Satheesh was a cancer patient. We came here seeking treatment for that. He was very happy with the treatment here and all the doctors and nurses were very dedicated towards him. We offer our pranams to Amma who provided Rs. 22, 941 as treatment. I have four sons Ravikumar, Jayaprakash, Satheesh and Rajesh. The eldest two sons are coolie workers. Being a heart patient, I am unable to go for any work now. Satheesh is my third son and he was a cancer patient. We gave an application to Amma for help and someone from the Thanoor ashram came here for enquiry and as a result I was given Rs. 22,941 as treatment help. Myself and my family thank Amma for this great help. Now he is feeling much better after the treatment. I give full consent to publish Satheesh’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

Satheesh was admitted in this hospital on August 5, 2008 and was under chemotherapy till 20th and got discharged on August 20. I took care of all the expenses during my chemotherapy and treatment following that. The doctor told me that I needed to undergo treatment two weeks after discharge and that I will need treatment for the next two years. I thank Amma for providing treatment help to my son.

Regards,
Velayudhan.K.P.

Date of Admission / Discharge : 03/09/2008—17/09/2008


To my loving Amma,

My name is Abdul Ali and I hail from Malappuram district. My son Aflah was a victim of the disease called tetralogy of fallot (TOF). Since we were financially very poor, we could not afford his treatment and were extremely sad. That is when we heard about Amrita Hospital’s charity activities. So I came here and gave an application at patient services department. I needed Rs. 1,10,208 for his surgery. All I had to give was Rs. 2500. A million pranams to Amma for providing treatment help and helping us during such a difficult situation in our life. We hope and pray that Amma’s love and compassion stays forever. Let Amma’s love for Her children be filled in this whole universe. Now I am in a very happy state because Amma provided all the help for my son’s surgery and the surgery was successfully performed. We pray that Amma’s blessings always be with us. I don’t know how to thank Amma for helping financially poor folks like us. I am deeply indebted to Amma for everything. I hope to meet Amma personally tell Her all my problems. I am extremely happy in front of Amma’s love. I hope Amma always prays for us. A million pranams to Amma. All the doctors and other staff in this hospital were very loving towards us and took good care of us. It is because of their loving nature and treatment that my son recovered quickly and got discharged from this hospital. I offer a million gratitude to Amma for providing Rs. 1,10,208 as treatment help and helping my son’s surgery. I give consent to publish my son’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

Lovingly,
Abdul Ali

Pranams to AMMA,

I hail from a place called Kainadi in Kottayam district. My family consists of myself, my wife and one child. I do not have any job and also a house of my own. Now we are staying in a rented house. I used to be a tailor before. I had to stop that profession when I fell sick. After that I started selling lottery tickets in the streets. Both my parents are old aged and unable to do any job. My father is mentally ill. My wife is also unemployed. She has passed SSLC and has also studies computers. I never completed my school education. My son is very bright in studies and is studying for LKG in Amrita Vidyalayam in Changanacherry. My close relatives are financially very poor and so are unable to help me in anyway. Two years back I suffered from a tumor in my backbone and underwent treatment in a hospital in Kottayam. I did not get any relief from the treatment and so came to Amrita Hospital. I underwent very good treatment by the doctors here and got relief from my illness. I could not continue my treatment due to financial constraints and so I fell ill again. As soon as we heard that I needed a surgery we contacted patient services and gave an application. Following that someone from there came over to my house for enquiry and my treatment was done free of charge. Amma provided Rs. 50,125/- as treatment help for me. I will never forget the divinely touch of love and care that I received during my stay in the hospital. With praises to Amma, I am sharing my unique experience of getting free treatment and medication.I pray that everyone in this hospital have God’s blessings always. I offer my gratitude for all the compassion and love and also the free treatment help I was treated by the same doctors again. With the help of Amma’s noble charitable trust and help from patient services, I was provided all the expenses needed for the surgery and treatment thereafter. Myself and my family offer our pranams to Amma for providing me with treatment help and for saving my life. My family thankfully remembers Amma. I pray that I will not suffer from the tumor in the future. I humbly request that if I need to undergo radiation in the future I will be provided with treatment help.

Affectionately,
S.Anilkumar

To my loving Amma,

I come from a very poor financial background. I used to work as a taxi jeep driver. With the arrival of new vehicles in town, the demand for this one went down. That’s how my daily wages stopped all on a sudden. I get chest pain very often and I am on medication. So I am unable to go for any job. My family consists of myself, my wife and two children. My children are studying in 5th and 1st standard respectively. Last year I was diagnosed with some problem in my throat. I underwent surgery for that at a local hospital, but it was a failure. Now the problem has started again. After checkup, I was diagnosed with throat cancer. We spoke to the doctor and as per his advice, we came to AIMS. We contacted patient services and we were given Rs. 40,125 as treatment help. We offer a million pranams to our dear Amma for all the help.

At first, I experienced pain in my throat and difficulty while talking. I went to a nearby hospital for checkup and the doctors said that there was some swelling at the point of the throat where the sound comes from. The doctor also said that I had to undergo a biopsy. So a biopsy was done and the doctors confirmed that I had cancer. I had to undergo a surgery worth Rs. 50,000 and also an instrument would be inserted to help with my speech. Since we were financially very poor we told the doctor that we could not afford any treatment. Then the doctor told us that in Amma’s hospital free treatment was provided to the financially poor people and so we came here. We consulted the doctor and he said that I only needed to undergo radiation and not surgery. We were told that I would need to have 50 radiations worth Rs. 50,000. So we contacted patient services and got a letter to take to the ashram in Kozhikode. Someone from the ashram came to our house for enquiry. Amma provided 20 free radiation treatments. All the staff in this hospital treated us as their own family. Even in the most busiest hours, they were all willing to listen to our problems and clear all our doubts. Someone from Amrita TV interviewed us. I give consent to publish my photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication or telecast my video on Amrita TV.

Om Namah Shivaya

To my loving Amma,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my wife Kamalamma and I hail from Klappana panchayat, Karunnagappally taluk in Kollam district. Amma provided treatment help of Rs. 17,192 for Kamalamma’s thyroid surgery at Amrita hospital. We offer a million thanks for this great help. My family consists of myself, my wife, mother and my brother. Myself and my brother are coolie workers. I have eight cents of land in my mother’s name. I had to pledge the document of that land in the bank to perform both my sister’s marriages. I also had to give a part of my mere wages to my mother to pay off her loans. Two years back my wife suffered from a bump in her abdomen and a surgery was performed. I had to spend a lot of money for that. So I could not afford another surgery at this time. So I came to the ashram and told about my sad situation. Thus we came to Amrita Hospital in Cochin. After enquiry and with Amma’s grace, they agreed to treat my wife. I give full consent to publish my wife’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication. We got excellent treatment from all the doctors, nurses and other staff in this hospital and they were very patient and cooperative.

Regards,
Devarajan
