Wining
Heart of Nine Year Old Renu

| Renu Visiting
Smile New Delhi Office |
Life
for Rajesh Kumar a poor auto rickshaw driver from Basti,
Dist. Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh changed from bad to worse
nine years back after the birth of his daughter Renu.
Renu suffered from a rare congenital heart disease that
required immediate surgery without which a patient cannot
survive for more than 10 to 12 years.
Rajesh barely earned Rs 75/- to Rs 100/- per day which is
just not enough to sustain a family of five. For the past
nine years while his daughter continues to suffer physically,
he and his wife are undergoing an emotional turmoil. Over
the last one year their turmoil has increased further as
they know that if they do not take any suitable steps they
might loose their daughter.
In words of Rajesh, “India TV reporter Jaya introduced
me to Smile Foundation. It is a God sent opportunity to
save my daughter’s life.”
Smile Foundation under its Individual Support Programme
(ISP) aims to help deserving and needy children in difficult
circumstances. Under this, Smile Foundation extended financial
support to Rajesh to meet the cost of surgery. The surgery
was successfully completed at All India Institute of Medical
Sciences, New Delhi in May 2008.

Foundation appreciates the roles of media
as a change maker. It is thankful to India
TV for playing a proactive role in bringing
the needy and the supporter together.
Although by supporting a single kid we may
not have done a big thing. But, hopefully,
such act may sensitize people to do their
mite as and when such opportunity of helping
the needy arises, anywhere.

Foundation also arranged for the stay of Rajesh and his
wife in Delhi when they visited Delhi to get their daughter
operated.
When asked about her ambitions, nine year old Renu promptly
replied, “I want to become a doctor. I would treat
poor children suffering from heart diseases without charging
any fees from them.”
Smile Foundation wishes her good wish to accomplish her
ambition.
