Sanjay Appeal

Sanjay, who is just 10yrs old, has Duchene Muscular Dystrophy disease and desperately needs your help.

He comes from a very poor Indian family. The family live in Ooty, Nilgiris District,Tamil Nadu. The nearest hospital that is able to help Sanjay is 3 hours drive away in the city of Coimbatore.

Sanjay's father has a job but earns only about £90 a month (Rs8,000). The family cannot afford the treatment, medicines, essential oils and equipment that Sanjay will need to help improve his life.

Please will you help?

Duchene is a muscle wasting disease which is incurable. Life expectancy even in the UK the average is 21 years.

Sanjay was diagnosed at the JSS hospital in Mysore, South India. We have copies of the reports.

The Friends of H.O.P.E has been approached by Sanjay's father through a mutual friend. We have been working with really poor Indian people in the Ooty area for some years and so were able to direct Sanjay to the Aryavaidya Pharmacy Hospital, Coimbatore, where he is under Dr Kashavan, one of the known Indian doctors able to treat this condition.

The Indian medical system does not provide support in the same way as our NHS, and so any treatment comes at a cost to the family which they cannot afford.
