Vrndavan Hospice Patient Needs Your Help ASAP

 

by Yadunandana Pada Dasa and Sita-Rama d.d.

 

A dear Vaishnava family here in Vrndavan Dhama is currently in need of

assistance from the greater Vaishnava community. Mother Lalita Devi is

known as a sweet devotee who has the wonderful service of making flower

garlands, raising two children, and caring for her husband and

household. Some may know her as the wife of Premanidhi Dasa, who takes

on the service of being in charge of visa matters for those who take

shelter of the Dhama. These wonderful devotees share important services

while living quite austerely. Consequently, they do not have much Laxmi,

especially when it comes to unexpected expenses...

 

Recently, Mother Lalita Devi has been diagnosed with a form of uterine

hypertrophy (an enlarged uterus). The local physicians have informed us

that she must have a total hysterectomy (surgical removal of the

uterus). Furthermore, without such removal, this condition can be life

threatening. Hence, on short notice, Mother Lalita has successfully

undergone this operation on October 9th. She is now in recovery and will

remain in the hospital for at least a week following surgery.

 

The total cost for the surgery itself is 30,000 rupees (~675.00USD) of

which the temporary hospice here in Vrindavan has been able to pay

15,000 rupees of the costs (made possible by your previous

contributions). Realistically, Mother Lalita will not be able to resume

all of her regular activities for at least 10 weeks. Therefore, in order

to avoid post operative complications prolong her condition, this

family will also need laxmi in order to pay someone to help juggle their

household duties.

 

 

 

Since payment is due soon, any expedient assistance from any devotee to

help pay for the other half of the surgery costs, as well as the

recovery costs, will be greatly appreciated. Whether you can cover the

entire cost or just donate whatever pocket change you may have, this

family, and devotee community in general, will truly benefit from your

compassionate contributions.

 

 

 

Please make any small, one-time donation ($1, $5, $12, $27, $47), or

any other larger donation this month to the Temporary Vrndavan Hospice

and Infirmary and we will route the funds to this family in need. Please

also consider pledging a small amount each month as our

Hospice/Infirmary program in Vrndavan has proven to be successfully

serving many devotees in need, but it is also growing and the expenses

are growing. Please log on to http://www.buddhiyoga.org/Hospice/ and

make a small donation or monthly pledge. Currently we collect around

$500 each month from around 30 small monthly pledges. This laxmi goes to

cover the rental of a facility apartment at the MVT, hire a

nurse/caretaker, and purchase necessary medical supplies. We also give

funds towards small procedures and operations that the members of the

dhama may require.

 

 

 

Please help mother Lalita Devi and her family at this hour of need.
