Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 An elderly diabetic gentleman is losing his eyesight and needs to have surgery. He has no insurance or coverage. He has been a devottee of Swami's for over 25+ years. He is currently in California. Is there any opthmologist surgeon that anyone knows of who would be willing to do it free? I know its a lot to ask for but I am putting it out there. Love, Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is willing to come to India and get treated,I can provide him free accomodation , bed service and also someone to accompany him throughout the treatment. All these free. Reg the treatment charges no idea .But if it is not very complicated and if he needs financial assistance can look at it. It would cost a bomb over there in US for this treatment. It would be a good idea to move him to India and get him treated and send back if you work out the economics part of it. If you can send the brief details of the treatment reqd and his family and financial background it would help to pitch for help from other volunteers as well. I leave it to you . But Iam ready.

He can also get FREE treatment at the Ophthalmology Department in Swami's Super-Specialty Hospital at Puttaparthi.I urge him to write to the hospital authorities with complete medical details,before making the trip to India. Also write a PRAYER LETTER to Bhagawan Baba seeking His Blessings and Guidance. Hope this info helps.Good Luck. In Sai Love and Seva, Ragu. ---------- Ram Lakhan <ram_lakhan108 Tue Jul 12, 2005 0:21pm Seva for a Sai family member Dear Brother Joey, AUM Sri sai Ram: There is a Sai brother who lives in Buffalo, NY who would be happy in assisting in this cause and his name is Dr. Patel. I'll attempt in making his contact available to you as I've lost touch with him; however, the Sathya Sai Baba group of Buffalo, NY would know of him and his humanatarian works.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 May God bless him and give him all the help he could get. keep a picture of Swami by his eyes, if he believe in Swami and the his karma will allowed, his will experience the divine power of swami. I did, I wa going blind in one eye. All doctors, from one place to another, gave up on me. One night I prayed Swami with all my heart, mind and soul. He came to my dream and say- I know, then he touched my right eye; the next moring, at the doctor appointment I felt sure and confidente as I never was and told the doctor that, against what all believed in that Medical center, I wanted to go ahead with the surgery; I felt strongly about it, strongly through my faith in Bhagawan, SRI SATHYA SAI BABA, the Avatar of the Cosmic Universe. He finally accepted to take a chance on me..Today my right eyes sees as good as the left, actually, better, it has few more grades. The doctor dont know where I found so much courage, and was a little shocked with the result of his own surgery. I told him:-- durint surgery I called upon God to put his divine Hands in your hands, sou you could not miss. The doctor told me that his hands were working as they knew what they wer doing and not once he felt anything was going to be wrong; he wondered also why it took him so long to do the surgery...I kenw it! I prayed to Swami and His compassionate heart made it happen for me. Glory to Swami!
