Donation drive for “Yugi”– Bangalore JNV Alumni Chapter

Dear JNVians,

Our M.Yugandhar Reddy (Yugi) is a Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kurnool alumni. He is studying his B.Sc in kurnool (A.P). Unfortunately he is suffering from a congenital genetic disorder “Alport`s Syndrome.” He needed kidney transplantation for his survival.

Yugandhar’s family:
In his family, only other person is his mother. She has a single kidney left , after donating one for her elder son, M.Koteswara Reddy (who is also a Navodayan and is suffering from the same disease, a fate worse than death). She was even ready to die to give life to her second son, Yugandhar. Obviously, the hospital authorities were against her decision.

Humanitarian Efforts:
Getting donation in form of money was easier but not a kidney.

Fortunate enough, one healthy humanitarian lady Mrs. S. Nagasubbulu, W/O: Mr. Santeena of Kadapa has come forward to donate her kidney after reacting to the news covered in national dailies and TV channels.

Humanitarian efforts of concerned Navodayans brought money for his preparation for operation and the operation itself as many of us donated with open hands. And many more are willing to do so when they knew the fact.

Latest Update :
ON 15th Nov. 2006, his transplantation was done in Hyderabad, successfully. Thanks to Hyderabad chapter of Navodaya alumni. Her mother’s eyes filled with tears, when she was thanking for JNVians after transplantation.

Half the battle is over, but still we have a long way to go. And he needs post operative expenditure to meet. Its expensive really. Its may came 10,000/- to 15,000/- per month.
