Sangita

.
Sangita is two years old and has had this lump on her nose since she was born. Her parents are simple labourers who did not realize the severity of the condition, which is actually a growth on the brain. They also felt helpless to do anything about it because they knew that they have no money and no one will do the operation for free.

Sangita can be helped but she needs to go to a large hospital in Delhi where the delicate operation can be performed. Even with the biggest possible discount, in a Government hospital, to get the operation done the family needs Rs 23 000 (US$511) and money for travel costs to Delhi etc.

You can imagine the poverty of these people who have a child that they can see has been suffering for two years and they have not been able to find any means of getting the money to have her treated. Not only is she in pain, doctors say that the longer the condition is left without treatment, the worse it is for her prognosis.
