I am Yashodha Jayarathne, 24 year old. I call myself an ambitious young woman yet physically handicapped and I am writing this to seek financial assistant for my correctional surgery. Here is my story. I was born normal with no birth defects and led a perfectly normal life. However back in 1997 that is when I was 9 years old I fell ill and admitted to hospital only to find that I had contracted Leukemia. I was admitted to Cancer Hospital – Sri Lanka where I received treatments for about two years. In the midst of treatments for Leukemia I suffered paralysis of both legs and became wheelchair dependent. In or around the year of 2001, I was diagnosed with right hip dislocation and in 2005 yet again with a spinal disorder known as kyphoscoliosis. In spite of these major physical impairments, I learnt to cope up with my day-to-day activities. However, spending years with numerous physical hardships gradually deteriorated my health condition and I started experiencing chronic pain and discomfort including breathing difficulties and trouble maintaining sitting and sleeping positions. As a result, I resorted to local medical practitioners but found no favorable reply. According to them, surgeries were difficult to perform in sri lanka. Even though, my deteriorating health has become a cause concern to my family members and more. So it has become increasingly hard for me to do my day-to-day activities. It is when I met a team of Indian doctors attached to Apollo Hospital – India during their visit to Sri Lanka. I was informed of the possibility of performing two correctional surgeries. Furthermore they said the surgery will improve my physical and emotional wellbeing, enabling me to follow my daily pursuits independently. This news gave me a glimmer of hope to my forlorn future. After my initial consent to go ahead with the operations, the said doctors replied along with the estimated cost amounting to Indian Rupees 1,700,000/- [Approximately LKR 4,500,000/- & USD 36,000/-]. This projected cost exceeds way beyond our financial capabilities. As we don’t have a fixed abode, we are living in a renting house. Also we do not own fixed assets or other properties to sell. My father deserted us a long time back and he hardly maintains any connection with us. My youngest sister is still schooling and my mother has to incur expenses for her studies. We do not have other means of income apart from my mother’s monthly pension allowance. I was destined to a hapless fate but life has taught me to move on. I wish to live my life to the fullest improving on my abilities thus surpassing my disabilities. With every passing day I feel more ambitious as I yearn to live a normal life I once used to live. I would be grateful if you could lend me financial assistance in my humble endeavor to pursue my normal life. Even the smallest donation towards brightening my future will be greatly appreciated.
