A Humble Request…


Dear Comrades


One of the illustrious members of the teachers’ fraternity and former 
Research Scholar from /Meerut University/, MR NAVED A. SIDDIQUE (32 
years old) has been ailing with shrunken kidneys for the last four 
months. His present condition is woefully critical. In spite of 
undergoing ‘dialyses’ on a weekly basis for the last three months, his 
kidneys have failed to respond and blood urea level continues to be well 
above 345 (Normal: 15-45). The doctors are now pressing for an 
_immediate_ ‘transplant of the kidney’ because any further delay could 
lead to a ‘left ventricle failure’ (LVF)


Naved has been in the Teaching profession for over a decade, having 
taught History and Social Sciences in some of the well known public 
schools viz. /St. Francis School /(/Meerut/), /Army School/ (/Meerut/), 
/Dewan Public School/ (/Meerut/) & /Ryan International/ (/Mumbai/). He 
lost his Mother this January after she succumbed to a prolonged battle 
with pneumonia. And now he himself has been suffering for over four 
months. Given these circumstances, the family’s financial condition has 
become quite unstable.


Even though his Father would be donating one of his kidneys, he is not 
in a position to bear the steep expenses of the operation 
single-handedly. A ‘kidney transplant’ operation would cost anywhere 
between *Rs 3 to 3.25 lacs* and thereafter ‘anti rejection drugs’ would 
cost another *Rs. 1.5 lacs*. Having been virtually drained out of 
finances, the family has sought personal help, (with a pre-condition 
that they would return everybody’s money whenever they are in a position 
to do so).


We would earnestly request you to kindly extend a helping hand in order 
to save this young and talented teacher who’s just been married for 
little over a year.


We sincerely hope you’ll help in saving the life of a fellow teacher by 
contributing anything ranging from Rs. 100/- or more. Every rupee 
contributed from your side would be of enormous help. You can give your 
contributions to Lokesh or Bhagwati at Sarai, CSDS.


Furthermore if any of you can even help by donating one unit of _blood_, 
we would be very grateful, since a total of 14 units of blood would be 
required for the operation.



Thanking you,
