Dear Marc,
Greetings of the day and hope you are fine and doing well.
Marc, the lady you see in the video was given
₹10, 000 Rupees ($129 USD) for her treatment.
The lady's name is Mrs. Alpana Midday and she is a resident of Bill: Khatsara, PO: Dakshin Barasat, Dist: South 24 Pgs, West Bengal. She was suddenly affected by lumber spondylitis five months back as a result her right hand and right leg became paralyzed despite being under treatment of Dr. Nabnit Agarwal (associated to B. R. Singh Hospital) & Dr. Amalesh Basak (associated to SSKM Hospital)
During this period, while going to the washroom, she suddenly lost her balance and the left thigh bone was broken by that accident, she then got that operational treatment under Dr. Asis Mandol at Samparka Nursing Home, and ironically through biopsy, she was recognised as a cancer patient.
At present, she is undergoing treatment at Netaji Subhas Chandra Cancer Hospital. Her husband lost his job during Covid and is unemployed and there is no earning member in the family and the family is now in a hand to mouth situation. Therefore to continue the treatment to make her survive is a great challenge.
When she was handed ₹10, 000, her eyes welled up with tears of gratitude and fresh hope and she thanked Marc and his project 100 Friends for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
In case of any queries, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks and warm regards,
Uttara
