Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 A young mother named Madhu had emailed me to volunteer as a letter writer for Circle of Love Inside. This morning she sent me a most heart-rending email about an urgent situation in her family and asked that I get it somehow to Amma. I have forwarded it to Dayamritaswamy since he knows just how to do that. This is the situation. The family includes: Mother – Madhu Father – Three year old twin girls -Aditi and Aarti Boy - Ashwin The family was suffering with the flu according to Madhu. After the fever subsided, her daughter Aarti lost movement in her left arm and leg. She was brought to Children's Hospital in Cincinatti where Aarti is in intensive care. The child has the attention of the specialists in that hospital along with experts from University of Cincinnati. It seems Aarti suffered a stroke and may have suffered smaller ones before this which showed no symptoms. Please pray for Aarti's return to perfect health and for peace of mind for both her parents. Is there anyone in Cincinatti area who could offer some support to this young family? The mom repeated several times in her email " We are alone here. " In my city of Oakland, the whole community has beautifully responded to a family whose child has been left partially paralyzed by a stray bullet from a robbery. The boy was sitting at the piano at a lesson when this happened to him. The outpouring of love and support for the family here makes me know that Amma devotees in Cincinnati could make a big difference in this family's life at this scarey time. Contact me if you are from that area and I can give you Madhu's email and snail mail address. Aikya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Om Namah Shivaya. We were very sad to hear the story of the family. We (myself and the Cleveland Amma satsang) would like to offer some support. Unfortunately we are about 5 hours away from Cincinnati which will make visiting difficult but I did forward your posting to all our satsang members we had some ideas and would like to send the family a care package. We have emailed Aikya several times since last week and have not had any response. Aikya or anyone please send me Madhu's email and mailing address so we can be in touch with them. Thank you very much.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Sumana, I'm sorry that you had such a hard time getting in touch with me. Over a year ago I started using a different email address. I asked for help in changing what is here on the Ammachi group and was told that I could change it myself. Today I again looked and I cannot access the member list to find my membership record and change it. I guess it's good that the list is private but in this case it's a problem. Usually I put my email address on the end of my message and sometimes people use that. I'll try to fiddle around and see if I can figure out how to change it another way. Anyway, I know that you now have Madhu's home address and email address along with a report from her. Madhu's little girl is out of intensive care and started Physical Therapy last week. Madhu sent the following message to me Sunday the 24th. Dear Aikya Param I received the gifts that the Circle of Love group has sent for Aarti and Aditi . They were both delighted with the Amma dolls , the Amma bag and the Amma Cd. Aditi and I brought Aarti's present box [the nice red one...it was beautiful] to the hospital and made her open it. She was delighted to see the Amma doll and slept with her all night yesterday . For me , the best present was the picture of Amma's holy feet which I have kept currently in the hospital room near Aarti.....i look at it when i say my prayers. Aarti may be discharged this Wednesday ....and some weeks later they may do an angiogram and then decide if she will need a brain surgery so that the cerebral stroke doesn't recur. Naturally I as a mother am hoping it doesnt come to surgery ....but if it is the only way it will save her , I surrender my worries to Amma's feet . Now that Amma has turned her eyes to Aarti I don't feel so scared anymore. I have recieved mail from the Circle of Love too....the present was a big pleasant surprise and uplifted my spirits. I thank you for all that you have done for me and all the others whom i don't even know but yet prayed for my daughter ......it was the best thing I encountered in this hour of crisis and kept my hope up . Once Aarti comes home , I shall immediately contact you about writing letters to the prisoners....I really have no wish to waste any more time in doing Anmma's seva. Once again Thank you all . Madhu Datar Sumana I let Madhu know that I was sending her address information to the Cleveland satsang. She wishes that she knew some children of Amma in Cincinatti and so do I. My heart just melts when I hear about the beautiful things Circle of Love Letters writers do. That program is directed by Sivamayi (Mary Ann Duckworth). To find out how to participate, please contact her at <circleofloveletters. You are not required to buy little girls Amma dols so don't be scared. You write loving supportive letters to those in need. Aikya Ammachi , " Lynn Williams " <lynnjan wrote: > > Om Namah Shivaya. We were very sad to hear the story of the family.
