Background information:

We got this requirement from our Me2We member Venkatesh garu. The requirement is to support a 2-year girl child Rishitha for lung surgery.

She is from Laxmidevipeta, Polavaram, Andhra Pradesh and Rishitha is a second daughter of Krishnaveni and Venkateshu. The second kid being child her father left his family. Currently, girls’ mother Krishnaveni is staying with her parents are getting support from them. The whole family do labour work.

Recently, early 2020 Rishitha felt ill and later it was diagnosed there was a problem in her lungs. They first went to government hospital Kakinada. As there is no proper equipment available to treat this baby, Doctors suggested them to go for any corporate hospital. Later, they went to Manipal Hospital Vijayawada with the help of Jayavarapu Adisheshu (ABN reporter, Polavaram) who is relative to them. Doctors at Manipal hospital suggested that Rishitha needs to undergo Thoracotomy (lung related surgery) which costs around Rs.1,30,000.
