On May 23, 2022, Anudaan – Making Transplants Affordable’ team received an email from Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi requesting financial aid for Master Anhadveer Singh, diagnosed with Extrahepatic Biliary Atresia (EHBA), an inflammatory fibrosclerosing cholangiopathy of infancy, affecting both the extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts to a variable extent, which is the leading indication for liver transplantation in children. The child belonged to a poor family and was in need of an urgent liver transplant. Hence, the hospital made a lifesaving decision to provide financial support to the family for Master Anhadveer Singh’s liver transplant.
Master Anhadveer Singh, age 10 is from Tarn Taran Sahib, Punjab. He belongs to a low-income family that could never afford such an expensive transplant. His father has a small agricultural land which is the only source of income for the family. He has been borrowing money from his relatives for his son’s liver transplant.
The parents discussed their situation with the doctors at Max. They were told about crowd funding and MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan for financial support for the transplant.
MOHAN Foundation contributed Rs. 1 Lakh for the transplant and with the support from few other NGOs and MAX Hospital’s subsidized transplant cost, Master Anhadveer Singh successfully underwent a liver transplant on May 26, 2022.
Both son and mother, who happily donated a portion of her liver to his beloved son, are recovering well. Anhadveer wants to join Indian Army one day so that he could serve his country in a same way as he received support and blessings from all his well-wishers from different parts of the country.
‘I am grateful to MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan team for all their support.’ – Jaspreet Kaur, Mother.
‘Thank you so much MOHAN Foundation for supporting our son’s liver transplant. May your Foundation continuous to grow and keep helping underprivileged people like us’ – Harjinder Singh, Father.
