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 suffers from a rare congenital heart
disease which requires immediate surgery without which a
patient cannot survive for more than 10 to 12 years.
Rajesh barely manages to earn 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 extended financial
support to Rajesh to meet the cost of surgery, which is
Rs. 32,000/- .The surgery would be performed at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi in May 2008
Smile Foundation appreciates
the roles of media as a change maker. It thanks
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.

Smile Foundation would also make arrangement
for the stay of Rajesh and his wife in Delhi when they visit
Delhi to get their daughter operated. Not only this, the
foundation is contemplating putting his daughter Renu in
Non-formal education under its Mission Education programme
after she recovers.
You ask 9 year old Renu about her ambition
in life. Promptly she responds, ‘I want to become
a doctor. I would treat poor children suffering from heart
disease without charging any fees from them.’
Smile Foundation wishes her good wish to
accomplish her ambition.
Recover Soon, Renu !
