Mission Teena : Successfully recovered from Leukaemia


In August 2014, Teena, a little girl was suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia-L2 variant. As per doctors the treatment will cost about Rs.10 Lakhs to overcome the disease based on their experience at Basavatarakam Indo American Hospital (Hyderabad).

Family Background : Teena's father is an employee in a medical factory in Gujarat and he has spent money above his level and he could not further afford the cost of the treatment. Her mother is a house wife. Teena also has a younger sister.
Thanks to Raghav (Volunteer) for the kind support

Abhaya Foundation took up this case but it was highly impossible to pool such a huge amount. Important thing here is she is in curable state and can come out of danger. Raghav an employee of ADP Hyderabad connected Teena with the Abhaya foundation and is supporting her.

We met Dr. Rajagopal of same hospital and explained him about the case of baby Teena. We explored the possibilities of getting the attention of general public with the support of media houses. Also sent detailed appeal to President, PM, CM's of AP, GR seeking their support for this girl. At first, Rs.40000/- was pooled. Raghav visited the girl in hospital. For CM relief fund, he was asked to submit required documents in Lake view guest house to Mr.Rama Lingiah.

Srikanth Reddy(USA) along with his friends and relatives donated some amount.
Dec 2014 :  Teena has undergone major chemotherapy stage4. She successfully completed 3 stages. As per reports there are no cancer cells in her body. 

Biopsy reports are showing negative and she is recovering in a great pace.
Mar 2015 : Teena completed her treatment at NTR Cancer hospital and is  free from cancer and headed back to Gujarat.
Apr 2015 : Teena had to visit the hospital in Hyderabad for monthly check ups since her platelet count went down. Teena’s family is provided with accommodation  in Abhaya Home and transportation facilities whenever they visit for the checkup to Hyderabad.

With persistent effort of doctors and continuous support from Abhaya, the treatment giving good result. She is active now in all activities and also in studies. She is studying in third standard.

Super 60

After years of HEART work, with the support of donors and well wishers... abhaya CCL Empowerment Campus at Anatapuram is completed. Trustees formed the Executive Body and visited the campus too. At abhaya we strive to lend a hand to the needy at all times. We also encourage other organisations who would want to serve the society. We try and help them with the required manpower, premises, etc...It's like joining Hands...Heads...Hearts in serving the community. abhaya never say No to any like minded NGOs...For them criteria is only Selfless Work. There are scores of NGOs who joined hands in service with abhaya. One such organisation is Niswartha Foundation with its "Super 60" program. A few details of the program are below: Niswartha Foundation , Uravakonda, Anantapuram Dist, AP   The atlas shrugged its shoulders when it was asked to shoulder the burden of responsibility. With a motto to serve selflessly and to carry the responsibility of improving the pitfalls of society

Since how many days are we seeing people around us who are financially low but has immense talent. Since how many days are we seeing people around us who get deprived of oppurtunities because of their status in the society. Since how many days are we thinking that "Hope I get a chance to help such people"...."Hope I can do something to change the society I am living in". There are some people who take the lead to help others. There are some who wish they could but cannot find the correct way to do it. And there are others who have apprehensions about helping others, escpecially when money is involved. "What if the money I give doesnt reach the affected"..."What if my money gets wasted by the organisation". Believe me, I have journeyed through all the three cases. But my luck has it that I travalled exactly from the last case to the first. And now, I could trust that whatever money I collect or give or donate would definitely reach the needy

Why is it so difficult to help others....? Do we not have confidence that we can do something for others or is it the lack of empathy in us....?? All these blogs and Facebook accounts have been created to get closer to the younger minds. Yet, we do not see any kind of response from them. Are we so immersed in the race of life that we cannot see the grievances of the people living around us? One day, I keep a status about a hero or a song.....The very next hour...I receive umpteen number of likes and comments regarding that.... But, when I keep a status regarding social service or regarding saving money to donate to the needy....I hardly receive 1% of the response that I got earlier... Is it so difficult to save money for someone else? Is it necessary to know the person to help him? Is it not our minimum social responsibility that we give back something to the society? We donot know the urgency of the need until something happens to any of our friends or people we know....Un
