On August 13, 2022, MOHAN Foundation’s ‘Anudaan- Making Transplants Affordable’ team received an email from Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Center, Mumbai, Maharashtra requesting financial aid for Mrs. Rupali Ajay Jadhav, who was suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) from last four years. She needed an urgent kidney transplant.
Mrs. Rupali Jadhav, age 32 years hails from Malad East, Mumbai, Maharashtra. She belongs to a poor family. Her husband (who happily donated his kidney to his wife) is a mechanic in a garage in Mumbai. The family was surviving on their savings and with the meager income, it was impossible for the husband to bear the huge cost i.e., Rs. 8.70 Lakh for Rupali’s kidney transplant.
After the husband discussed about his family’s poor economic situation, the doctors and transplant coordinator at Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Center, Mumbai informed them about MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan. This information gave them a new hope. ‘Nothing is more valuable than the life of my wife. We have been in the hospital for two weeks now. And there is hardly any money to afford medicines and to pay the huge cost of the kidney transplant.
What do I do now? I just want my wife to live’ said the distressed husband to the Anudaan representative.
With support from Anudaan, few other NGOs and the hospital’s concession on transplant cost, Mrs. Rupali Jadhav successfully underwent a kidney transplant on September 7, 2022. MOHAN Foundation sanctioned Rs. 50,000 for the kidney transplant.
Both Wife and Husband are recovering well. Rupali is very happy to receive a second chance to live and she is now excited for her future. She wants to start a new business and aims to be a successful entrepreneur in future.
‘Lots of gratitude to MOHAN Foundation’s Anudaan team for saving my wife’s life with their financial support. We are impressed by their good and lifesaving work.’ – Mr. Ajay Vijay Jadhav, Husband.
