To Vallikavilamma

My humble pranams to the holy feet of Amma. Am vinodini. I have been suffering from kidney problem since many years. One of my kidneys is not functional. For a long, I was totally bed ridden due to some infection. My husband has got an injury from his work and he quit his job now he is an auto driver. Doctor suggested me to undergo an immediate operation and due to our financial difficulties we ignored his suggestion. It was at this time my brother told about Ammas hospital. Thus we approached the patient service unit and told all our difficulties. Amma gave us Rs 19, 780 for my surgery. AIMS is indeed a great relief for people like us. With Ammas grace my operation is done. I once again offer thousands and thousands of pranams to Amma. The doctors and staff were very kindful and I extend my thanks to them also.

I am Madhusoodhan from Allepy. 3-months back my son (Adwaith) was treated in a nearby pediatric hospital. They referred us to AIMS. Here in AIMS he had undergone Echo scan and doctor told us that he need a major surgery and have to continuously come for the follow-up. After one month when we came for the follow-up doctor told that he required an immediate surgery. Economically we are very poor and we could not even imagine the expense of the treatment. I have elderly parents and they too suffer from the old-age sickness. My family belongs wife and 2-children. I am working in a temple and am the only earning member of my family. Detailing all our difficulties I submitted a requisition in the patient service unit and after the enquiry they granted me the full amount for the surgery.

I thank Amma for providing such a huge amount for my sons treatment and also all the staff for their kind service.

To Sri Mata Amrithanadamaye Devi Amma,

I hail from karunagapilly, kollam district. I am a fisherman and my family includes 5 members. I belong to a very poor family and am struggling hard to even lead my daily living. Thus it was quite impossible for me to carry out my son’s treatment.

Last year (2007) April my sons leg got fractured and undergone a surgery in one of the hospitals at Trivandrum. 6 months after surgery he devolved infection and we took him to a local hospital. Since he did not get any relief from there we took him to Amrithapuri ashram hospital. Scan report over there shown that his infection got worsed and which required an immediate surgery thus Dr. Baskaran referred us to AIMS. Here we got the surgery absolutely free.Am very satisfied with the behavior of doctors and staff especially the staff at patient service unit. Above all I thank our beloved Amma
for all her blessings.

Pranams to Sri Mata Amrithanadamaye Devi Amma

I am chandran and I hail from chemmanoor thaluk, Calicut district. I was having heart problem and was treated at many hospitals for the same. Once due to severe pain I had undergone an angiogram and came to know that I had three blocks in my heart. Doctors suggested that I could be cured only by an open-heart surgery. For me the expense of the surgery was beyond I could imagine. Am a coolie worker and its very difficult for me to even lead my daily living. My family includes wife and two children. I have only ten cents land of my own and my parents also suffer from many old- age sickness. Since they all depend upon me it was very difficult for me to spend such a huge amount for my treatment.

It was during this time, we came to know about Amma and her selfless services to the needy. Thus we reached AIMS and after knowing all our difficulties they assured free treatment for us.

On 12/05/08 I got admitted and after my 4-days hospitalization my surgery was done successfully. It was Amma who helped me and my family.

Thus I offer my heartfelt thanks and pranams to the holy feet of Amma. I also thank all who have helped me in course of my hospitalization and all the doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals for the kind service they render.

Respected Amma,

I am a heart patient. I hail from a place called Thattummal near Kanjangadu in Kasargod district. Initially I went and consulted a doctor at Pariyaram. The doctors there told me that the treatment would cost a huge amount of around Rs. 1 lakh. Since I couldn’t afford such a huge amount I came to this hospital seeking Amma’s help. I don’t have any land of my own. All I have is a small piece of land along with a house in Amma’s name. I don’t have a permanent job. All I have is a small Milma booth with 40 packets of milk. Before coming over to this hospital, I met the swamiji at Kannur ashram. He asked me to come to Amma’s hospital.I told all my problems here the very first day itself The swamiji sent two people over to my house for enquiry. They were convinced of my poor living condition and gave me a letter. I gave the letter to patient services department. They helped me and I got admitted here and the surgery was performed successfully on October 23, 2008. As a result, Amma provided a huge amount of of Rs. 53430 as treatment help. I will never forget this great help given by Amma my entire life. I offer my pranams to Amma and offer this letter. All the doctors, nurses and other staff here took good care of me. All this was able only because of Amma’s grace. I will always pray to Amma.

Dear Amma,

My name is Haridasan and I hail from a place called Marathakkarayil in Thrissur district. When my wife was seven months pregnant she suffered from high blood pressure and was admitted in a local hospital. While in the hospital, her pressure increased more and the doctor referred her to Amma’s hospital. So that day itself we came over to Amma’s hospital. After coming here, various tests were performed and the surgery was performed on August 19, 2008. Our child suffered from very low weight. She was only .938 grams. She was in NICU for 56 days and after that in the ward for almost 12 days. Now the child is doing fine and will be discharged soon.

We come from a very poor financial family. We could not afford to pay huge amounts of money for her treatment. We came here and contacted patient services and asked for Amma’s help. Someone from the local ashram came to our house for enquiry and gave us a report. We were provided with Rs. 1,50,054 from Amma’s charity. It is only because of Amma’s help that we got our child’s life back. The cooperation of all the doctors in the hospital was great. They used to console us and ask us to keep praying. In the same way all the nurses here were very dedicated and took real care of our child. We offer our honest gratitude to all of them. All the staff from patient services were also very cooperative with us. I can never thank them enough for all the help. More than anything, no matter how much we thank Amma, who is like God to us, it will never be enough. It is only because of Amma’s grace that I got back my wife and child. I will be thankful to Amma throughout my life. I will never get the excellent treatment that I received from this hospital from any other hospitals. I can never thank our loving Amma for that. I offer myself and my family in front of Amma. I hope and pray that Amma’s grace be with us always.
Praanams to Amma.

Respected Amritanandamayi Amma,

My husband experienced chest pain and was taken to a nearby doctor. The doctor asked us to perform all tests related to the heart. Then we decided to come over to Amrita Hospital. My brother also had the same problem and was treated here. So we came here and met the cardiologist. He asked us to perform some tests. After that he told us that my husband needed an angiogram and so it was done. He was diagnosed with block in the heart valve. The doctor said that he had to do angioplasty and it would cost Rs. 1 lakh. Since we could not afford such a huge amount we contacted patient services. Someone from the ashram came to our house for enquiry. My husband is a painter by profession. I have two children, a son and a daughter. My daughter is married and she has two children. My son is still studying. I do not have any other job. I told about my condition to those who came for enquiry. They understood our problems and we were given treatment help of Rs. 76,449. We paid Rs. 40,000 and got admitted and the angioplasty was successfully performed. All the doctors and other staff in this hospital were very loving and explained everything in detail to us. So I thank everyone in this hospital for all the help. No matter how much I thank Amma, it will never be enough. We were given treatment help of Rs. 76,449. We thank Amma for this great help. We will all go and meet Amma personally and get Her darshan. A million thanks to Amma. I give consent to publish my husband’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication. It is because of Amma’s charity activities that many people are getting a lot of help. Without such great help from Amma people like us would have suffered a lot. I hope to get Amma’s help even in the future.

Pranams to Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Amma,

My name is Smija and I am writing this letter on behalf of my mother Meenakshy. Couple of months back she had a heart attack. We took her to a nearby hospital and was treated there. After couple of days she experienced breathing problems and underwent treatment from a cardiologist. Since there was no relief of her symptoms after medication, the doctor asked her to get an angiogram done. Our financial condition is really bad. We live on daily wages. My parents are staying together. Since my mother is ill, I am staying with them now. All we have is cents of land and a small house. We put that on debt to pay off the bills for the treatment. With Amma’s grace, we were given treatment help for all the tests. The doctors told us that we would need a huge amount of Rs. 1 lakh for her treatment. First we paid Rs, 40,000. After that we were told to pay a huge amount of Rs. 45,331. So I contacted patient services and got help from them. We will always be indebted to Amma for that help. My family consists of myself, my father, mother, husband and our 2 year old son. My husband is working as a room boy in a hotel in Guruvayoor. I work as a salesgirl in a supermarket. An amount of Rs. 2500 is needed for my mother’s medications monthly. That is why I go for this job. I earn Rs. 1000 and my husband earns Rs.1800 rupees. We are also in debt as a lot of money was needed during our marriage. All the doctors, nurses and other staff in this hospital were very loving towards us. We got a lot of help from here. Amma provided us Rs. 62,900 as treatment help. We will always be indebted to Amma for this great help. All the staff at patient services were very loving towards us. I give consent to publish my mother’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

Dear Amma,

My name is Saji.P.T. and I hail from a place called Puthuppally in Kottayam district. I am a driver by profession. My brothers are coolie workers. All I have for myself is a small house in 3 cents of land. I underwent financial crisis a while back for my father’s treatment. One of my brothers is diabetic. I still haven’t paid for the loan that I took for my father’s kidney problem. In the midst of all these problems, my mother suffered from a bump in her head, which was diagnosed as tumor and the doctor referred her to AIMS.

With Amma’s blessings and with the love and affection of all the staff in this hospital, my mother was fully recovered from her illness. Myself and my family offer a million thanks to Mata Amritanandamayi Devi for providing a huge amount of Rs. 24630 as treatment help.

Om Amriteswaryai Namah

My name is Thomas Varkey and I hail from a place called Irattayar in Idukki district. My family consists of myself, my father, mother, two sisters, my wife and our two children. Both my sisters are not married. My parents are old aged. I was allotted a house from the church and I was also provided with brick and metal sheet. I bought the rest of the materials after taking loan from the bank. Before completing the work, I had to take my child to the hospital. My wife is a Hindu. Ours was a registered marriage and so we have no support from her house.

Two weeks following my child’s birth she suffered from fever and was taken to a local hospital. The doctors there said that she had heart problem and needed immediate surgery. There we had to spend a huge amount of Rs. 3550. From there we were referred to a hospital in Kottayam. There also we had to spend Rs. 3800. From there we were referred to a hospital in Trivandrum. There a balloon surgery worth Rs. 17000 was performed. Since we couldn’t afford such a huge amount of money the surgery was performed free of charge. She was discharged five days after that and was referred to Amrita Hospital for advanced surgery. So we came here and consulted the doctor and x-ray and echo tests were performed. The doctors said that she had to undergo immediate surgery worth Rs. 1,55,050. Being a coolie worker, I could not afford such a huge amount of money and I told this to the doctor. He asked me to contact patient services. So I went to patient services department and told them about my financial difficulties. Following that a swamiji came to my house for enquiry and informed patient services about my poor living condition. After that my child’s surgery was successfully performed. Now my child is doing fine. We feel that we received God’s blessings through Amma. I pray that Amma receives more and more of God’s blessings in the future. It is with the help of our neighbours and folks that we were able to afford treatment. We believe that it is all Amma’s blessings. I thank all the doctors, nurses and other staff in this hospital and also Amma who provided treatment help of Rs. 155050. I give consent to publish my child’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

Pranams to Amma.

We offer our gratitude to Amma.

My husband was brought to this hospital following a heart problem. We are five members in our family. For the past four years I have been unable to go for any work following severe back problem. Both my children are dumb by birth. My eldest son is going to undergo training to work as a waiter. We hail from Cherthala. All we have is five cents of land along with a small house. The entire family used to depend on my husband’s wages for their livelihood. He used to sell fish at houses and used to take care of our expenses with the small amount of money that he got. Suddenly one night he experienced severe chest pain. Though we took him to a nearby hospital, he was shifted to another hospital in Cochin. He was in the ICU for two days and then was in the ward for one and a half weeks. The doctors told that he had to undergo some scan, but we could not afford it. So we got in touch with Amrita Kutumbam and came to know about patient services through them. My husband underwent a scan worth Rs. 10667, but all we had to pay was Rs. 1000. We offer a million thanks to Amma who provides such a huge help to our family. We hope and pray that Amma’s blessings will be with us throughout our lives. We will forever be indebted to all the staff in this hospital. I cannot stop my tears while writing this. I give consent to publish my husband’s photograph along with letter in Amma’s publication.

Dearest Amma,

I am Kanaka’s husband Mohanan and we hail from a place called Puthuppanam, Vadakara taluk in Kozhikode district. I am a member of a poverty stricken family. My family consists of myself, my wife Kanaka and our two children. Our eldest daughter Priyanka is 21 years old and is studying for M Com and our son Priyesh is 18 years old and is studying in 11th standard. All we have is 7 cents of land and a small house. I am a coolie worker, but due to continued illness I am unable to go for work regularly. Four years back Kanaka suffered from severe cough and other problems. I took her to a doctor in Vadakara and he said that there was some problem with her heart. I was extremely sad to hear that. The doctor said that she had to perform an echo test to find out the problem. He referred Kanaka to a hospital in Kozhikode and an echo was performed and she was diagnosed with a hole in her heart and told us that she would need to undergo a surgery worth Rs. 1 lakh. An amount of Rs 1000 was spent there for the test. We were heartbroken and came back home in tears. After that we went to a hospital in Bangalore. There she underwent some test and was diagnosed with hole in her heart. They said that it needed to be closed. Since she was above 40 years of age, they put her on pending and told her to get treatment from any other hospital. After returning from there we went to a hospital in Kozhikode and the doctor there told that I had to undergo surgery worth Rs. 1 lakh. We were in deep grief. So the doctor asked us to send a letter to the prime minister’s relief fund asking for help. We didn’t get any reply and were in deep grief. That is when the doctor there told us about Amma’s hospital. So we came here and contacted patient services and they gave us all the instructions. We were asked to go to Amma’s ashram in Kozhikiode asking for treatment help. So we went there and met the Swamiji and told all our problems. We were able to get all the information regarding the ashram. After enquiry we were asked to come to this hospital. After coming here, we were given all the help from patient services. We can never thank Amma enough for providing us treatment help of Rs. 1,25,222. Myself and my family will always be indebted to Amma and the ashram for all the help. I cannot praise enough how excellent the behavior of all the staff and everyone at patient services is. The patient and the people coming along can never forget the treatment given in this hospital and also the wonderful environment. A million thanks to Amma for helping me in this surgery. We hope that we will be blessed to come and meet Amma. I give full consent to publish my wife’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

My family depends on my husband’s mere wages for our daily living. After my husband fell sick, we have been struggling for our living. There was nobody to help us.

All the doctors and nurses in this hospital were very faithful towards us. I expressed all our problems at the patient service department and we were provided treatment help of Rs. 1, 31,716/-. I offer a million thanks to Amma for all the help. After having stomach problems, two surgeries were performed here. He is feeling much relieved now after the second surgery.

My name is Dhanya and I am C.K.Kesavan’s daughter. One fine day my dad experienced headache along with vomiting. We took him to a local hospital and some tests were performed on him. He was admitted there for four days. A huge amount of Rs. 10,000 was spent there. My father did not have relief of his symptoms. So we brought him over to this hospital. He underwent a scan and was diagnosed with aneurysm. The doctors said that he had to undergo a surgery worth Rs. 85,000 for that. Initially when I was admitted in this hospital I had to stay here for seven days. At that time various scans and tests were performed and a huge amount of Rs. 40,000 was spent at that time. Later on they performed some tests on him and said that he had to get admitted for the surgery.

My family consists of myself, my younger sister, brother, father, mother and grandmother. Both my parents are coolie workers. Five months back my father underwent an eye surgery following a stone hitting his eyeball. A huge amount of Rs. 12,000 was spent for that surgery. Following that my younger sister also underwent a surgery and a lot of money was spent for that too. We borrowed money from other to meet all the expenses. That is when my father fell sick. We did not have any money in our hand for treatment. I have been married for the past two years now. I had to sell all my gold ornaments for my father’s initial treatment. We did not have enough money to pay for his surgery. So we contacted patient services and someone from there came to our house for enquiry. They were convinced of our poor financial condition and offered to help us. We got a report from patient services stating that we would be provided with treatment help from Amma’s fund. All the doctors and other staff in this hospital were very loving and caring.

We hail from a place called Pallissery, Karukutti panchayat in Ernakulam district. All we have is ten cents of land. It is only with Amma’s help that my father could undergo the surgery.

My name is Surendran. I am writing this letter on behalf of my sister’s 13 year old daughter Prajina. We hail from a place called Alencheri in Kannoor district. There are six members in their family. They are her father, mother and their four children. Since they come from a very poor financial background, they could not afford Prajina’s surgery during her childhood. Prajina is their third daughter and is studying in 8th standard. She is a heart patient and is unable to run or jump or even walk long distances. One of the local doctors asked us to come here. After coming here, we spoke to patient services staff and got help. Since she had grown up, the doctors said that it wasn’t possible to perform any surgery. We are greatly thankful to all the doctors who explained to us in detail about her problem. Medical science could not do anything to save her and the only way for her to survive would be God’s grace. We hope that Amma’s prayers and blessings be with her always. All the staff in the hospital were very loving towards us. We received Rs. 10440 from Amma’s charity. Our whole family is thankful to Amma and everyone for all the help. The doctors have asked her to be on medication for the next three months and to consult them after that. We hope that Amma’s prayers with Prajina always. I give full consent to publish Prajina’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

To my dearest Amma,

My name is Bernad George and I hail from Maliyeckal Veedu, Alangad village in North Paravoor taluk. My family consists of myself, my wife and sister. I used to do coolie work and that was the only source of income in the family. One year back I suffered from fever. I was taken to a local hospital and the doctors performed various tests and I was diagnosed with cancer. After that I went to a hospital in Cochin and CT scan and other tests were performed there. Since then I have been surviving on just medication. In the midst of all this, my sister became mentally ill and we were in deep financial crisis. So I had to sell my house and with that money we bought this small house and the rest of the money was used to clear my debts. For the past five months, my condition has been very bad and I was unable to do anything. Some of my friends took care of the family’s expenses and also bought the necessary medicines for me. Even then I had borrowed a huge amount of Rs. 35,000 from my friends. At that time I met a friend of mine who was Amma’s devotee and told me about Amma’s hospital and the charitable activities. Thus I came here and consulted the doctor. I underwent counseling and I gained immense self confidence. So I was interested in getting treatment from here and I gave an application to receive fifteen radiations. I was given a report and following that, someone came to my house for enquiry and agreed to provide me with treatment help. I was given Rs. 10,790 as treatment help. I received excellent service and cooperation from all the doctors, nurses and other staff in this hospital. In God’s name I thank Amma and this institution for all the help. I pray to God that all the people who are financially poor receive help and compassion from this institution. I give full consent to publish my photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

I am a coolie worker. I have less eyesight in one my eyes and its been this way for a while now. When my son Anoop was two years old, he was diagnosed with a hole in his heart. He had to undergo surgery, but due to financial constraints that did not happen till now. Around a year back, he suffered from high fever and was admitted in a local hospital. In the checkup he was again diagnosed with heart problem and the doctors suggested surgery. The doctors referred him to Amrita Hospital. Due to financial constraints we could not afford the surgery. It is only with the help of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi that my son’s surgery which was getting postponed for a long time took place successfully. We will forever be indebted to Amma for all the help. We were given treatment help of Rs. 1,32,351 from the patient services department as part of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math. With Amma’s grace, I got back my son’s life.

I was diagnosed with a tumor and was treated in many hospitals. Since we could not afford any treatment we came to Amma’s hospital. I was diagnosed with cancer seven months back.

Dear Amma,

I am Viji, wife of Shanmughan. We hail from Trichur district. Around three months back, one night my husband experienced weakness and started sweating all on sudden. Immediately he was taken to a nearby hospital and an ECG was performed and they asked us to transfer him to another hospital in the city. The doctors diagnosed that he had a heart attack. Immediately they gave him an injection and he was admitted there for two weeks. At that time a huge amount of Rs. 20,000 was spent for his treatment. My family consists of myself, my husband and our two children. My parents also live with us. The entire family depends on his mere wages for livelihood. Even his relatives are in a very bad financial situation. At this point we reached Amma’s hospital to correctly diagnose his situation and the doctor suggested angiogram. The angiogram showed three blocks and the doctors said that one of them needed angioplasty. We had already spent a large amount of money for his treatment in the past and could not afford any at this point. So we were asked to contact patient services. My husband has 20 cents of land. We got a letter from patient services which we took to the ashram in Trichur and immediately they understood our problems and told us that they would help us by paying some amount of money. We got the date for the angioplasty much earlier than we expected. We borrowed some money to give at the hospital. We thank Amma for Her kind heartedness and providing Rs.14,884 as treatment help. I hope and pray that many people get this kind of help from this institution. All the doctors and other staff in this hospital were very helpful. I give full consent to publish my husband’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

Dearest Amma,

My name is Shahida and I hail from Kalpetta in Wayanad district. My husband Azeez got admitted in Amrita Hospital for treatment of blood cancer. The doctors had said that it would cost him a huge amount of Rs. 4.5 lakhs over a period of 2 ½ years. Myself and my family who does not have a steady income could not afford such a huge amount. My parents who are old aged and my daughter who is 3½ years old live together. I live with my husband in a rented house. We are highly indebted to Amma for providing Rs. 10,505 as treatment help. Initially he was admitted in a local hospital for treatment. The doctor there referred us to Amrita Hospital. We had spent a huge amount of Rs. 80,000 in the other hospital. He got admitted in this hospital on September 1, 2008. Since we could not afford the treatment we contacted patient services with their help and cooperation and with Amma’s grace, we were given Rs. 10,505 as treatment help. We are greatly indebted to Amma for this help. A million thanks to Amma. My husband used to work in a shop. He was unable to go for any work following his illness. He was the only source of income to the whole family. Since we don’t have a house of our own, we live in a rented house. For the past 1 ½ years my husband has been unable to go for any work and we have been in deep sorrow. With Amma’s grace and help from patient services we were given treatment help of Rs. 10,505.

Dear Vallikkavu Amma,

For days now, myself and my wife have been feeling mentally weak. Yesterday my son’s surgery was successfully performed. Now we are relived. He is our only son. We were in deep sorrow when he lost his eyesight, but Amma’s blessings never left us. No matter how much we thank Her, it will never be enough.

My son is studying in a school in Mangalore. One day while in class, the child sitting next to him poked his eye with his pencil. Though the teacher saw it, she did not inform us then. We took him to a doctor in Shimoga and was referred to a hospital in Manipal. Since we didn’t have enough money to take him there, we did not go there. When we fought with the school authorities we were given Rs. 7500 as compensation, but that money was not enough for his treatment. The school management trustees had agreed to provide all the help needed for his treatment, but when the time came nobody was willing to help us. Amma did not leave us alone at that time. All the staff in the hospital were very loving in nature and extremely efficient in carrying out their duties. I offer my heartfelt gratitude to Amma, the doctors who treated my son and other staff in this hospital for all the help. I am highly indebted to Amma for providing Rs. 18,566 as treatment help for my son’s eye surgery. All I have is tears to offer at Amma’s holy feet. I give consent to publish my son’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication.

My husband works as a helper in a workshop. We have not been able to build a house of our own till now. I stay in my house. The financial condition in my husband’s house is very bad. He has one brother who is mentally challenged. So he has to take care of his brother too.

My second daughter Minnu was a heart patient by birth. She underwent two surgeries at Am rita Hospital. Initially we took her to a nearby hospital. The doctor there referred us to this hospital. Mini had her first surgery when she was just 1 ½ months old. We borrowed money from our relatives to meet the surgery expenses. The next surgery was performed when she turned 3 years old. Before that surgery we contacted patient services. A swamiji came to our house for enquiry and was convinced of our poor living condition. As a result we got treatment help from Amma. Her third surgery was done when she was 8 years old. We were told that it would cost a huge amount of money. So we contacted patient services again seeking help. They understood our financial problems and we were given treatment help of Rs. 68058 from Amma’s charity. We will forever be thankful and indebted to Amma for all the help. We will never forget Amma in our lives. I always see Amma’s reflection when I look at my daughter’s face. All the doctors and nurses who treated my daughter were very hospitable toward us, which bought a lot of joy in our hearts. I give full consent to publish my daughter’s photograph along with this letter in Amma’s publication. Once again a million pranams to 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.

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.

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
