 Mangalore, Sep 27: The valued readers of Daijiworld have continued to show hearty support for needy causes, this time by extending timely help to 31-year-old Leena Pinto who had to undergo treatment for breast cancer (carcinoma breast, Herceptin) at Father Muller Hospital, Mangalore.
An appeal posted on Daijiworld last month received positive response in the form of contributions as well as prayers from well-wishers across the globe. As a result, a sum of Rs 7.23 lac poured in within a couple of weeks.
Leena Pinto's husband Maxim Michael, a parishioner of Christ The King Church, Venur, under Mangalore diocese, has acknowledged the contributions received so far and conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to all the donors. Though it was his wish to convey a thanksgiving note to each and everyone, due to lack of adequate contact details and the huge number of contributors, he has conveyed his acknowledgement through this column.
"The support extended by Daijiworld readers was much-needed and timely, it made a huge difference as Leena could go for immediate surgery," he said.
Under surgeon Dr Rohan Gatti, her treatment has begun and is well into chemotherapy which will continue for a year.
We at Daijiworld thank each and everyone for responding to one more appeal. Jude Noronha, a well-wisher of Daijiworld had earlier studied the case and initiated the appeal through Daijiworld. We would like to thank Jude for his co-ordination and support.
We would like to remind our readers that through your generous contributions, we could raise about Rs 4.3 crore over the past few years, which reached the beneficiaries directly without any middlemen or third party involvement.
May God bless us all. This is one platform that enables everyone of us to reach out to the needy, without bringing caste, creed or religion into picture.
Thank you once again, on behalf of the entire Daijiworld team.
