There are thousands of underprivileged bedridden patients in Andhra & Telangana states who have become paralyzed to due to spinal cord injuries.
Majority of these individuals are daily laborers who used to work at construction sites and due to accidents and spinal cord injuries, they have become paralyzed and are essentially bedridden
Due to their poverty, they can't afford diapers, urine bags, catheters and other basic medications which are a must for them to survive on a daily basis. Many develop bedsores, which usually occur over time after lying down on the bed continuously in unhygienic conditions.
All it takes is $15 per month ( one bundle of diapers, urine bag, catheter tubes, cotton packs and some medicines costs Rs.1000 plus Rs.150 for the courier/mail) i.e. $180 for 1 year and $60 for 6 months.
We identified 75 patients who most need these medical kits. First week of every month medical kits are dispatched from Hyderabad to various remote locations in Andhra & Telangana, reaching at their doorstep giving them hope.
