>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)

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.

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).
