Dr. Didgooder

This is a follow up to my earlier post. A close friend of mine responded to the call for blood donors. Here is what he had to say about it:

Hi Sachin,

Just wanted to let you and your friends know that I met the
parents and gave blood. As of now I think they have good number of
IOUs from the blood bank. Manish was mentioning was that he needs
a couple of IOUs for A+ platelets, so if I knew anyone who was A+
then i should contact them.

I also spoke to Mahish and Shweta as well for about 15 minutes.
The situation is very heart-rendering and brought tears to my
eyes.
Shweta is the pillar of strength, was cheerful and smiling while
speaking to Om. Om likes Spiderman and doesn't like coming to
hospitals.
Mansih's mom also spoke a few words.
Manish told me that they had lost his dad some 15 days back. His
dad was in the army and very strong in life. And very attached to
Om and very affected by the news (revealed to them on August 7th).
Manish courageously mentioned that his dad's blessings were with
them now and hopefully things will improve.

The Tata Memorial (cancer) Hospital's doctors have said that this
99% curable and from what i have read from your link seems to say
that the child will be fine. I pray so.

This is a very courageous family; this sort of test seems
unimaginable and seems to shake one's faith.

I urge our community and whoever knows them to express their
friendship and support in whatever way possible. A card,gift -
spiderman would be a good gift - the parents must not feel
alone.

Thanks for letting me know of this and allowing me to make a
contribution.

Regards
Santanu

And hence the world spins around.
