His family desperately needs to raise US$25,000 to facilitate this emergency, and is appealing to kind-hearted citizens to again come to
their assistance.Gobin’s mother, Shureen Ragubeer, visited the Chronicle last week to explain that, following a successful surgery for which she donated an organ in June 2010, her son returned home and was doing well, but recently developed problems; and a visit to the Doobay Dialysis Centre at Annandale, ECD determined that his body had begun rejecting the kidney he had received, and this is believed to have come about from an infection.
The cost of the medical procedure, air fare for the patient and an accompanying parent, as well as meals and accommodation while in India has amounted to approximately US$25,000., Ragubeer told this newspaper.
Time is of the essence in this humanitarian bid to raise funds to save this young man’s life. Persons wishing to help can deposit donations into Republic Bank Account number164-859-1. Shureen Ragubeer can be reached on telephone number 276-0953.
