Another life Saved

This is Megha and her brother Durgesh. Meghaś life was saved when a Food for Life field worker, Dileep Pandey, found her shivering under a blanket on the side of the road.

Dileep offered the father assistance to take her to hospital but her father was drunk and uninterested. Dileep then pleaded with him, saying that he could surrender his children if he wished but only after this final chore of taking them to hospital.

The childrenś father, Bharat, agreed and he and the children followed dileep in a taxi to the hospital. The childrenś father didnt quite manage to complete his final responsibility as he went to sleep in the courtyard of the hospital before reaching the door. A few hours later, he and the children were found sleeping in front of the hospital and Megha finally got admitted.

Megha is recovering well after only a few days in hospital. She had a high fever and it is possible that she has some other internal problems due to living rough with her father on the street for three years since their mother died.

The children have been signed over to Food for Life Vrindavan care and when Megha gets out of hospital, they will be taken care of in the Food for Life childrenś home.

Please help us pay for Meghaś medical expenses. Her treatment at the Methodist hospital, Mathura, is costing around US$350 (Rs16,000). Please contact Rupa@fflvrindavan.org if you can help.
