Sayophin Koottungal (44) was diagnosed with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease. After numerous scans and tests, doctors discovered that his kidneys had shrank and could not function properly. As a result of his diagnosis, Sayophin has had to undergo two sessions of hemodialysis weekly and must take extensive medication. The treatment has taken a physical toll on Sayophin, a painter and auto driver, and has prevented him from being able to financially support his family. As Sayophin searches for a possible kidney donor, he and his family must grapple with the mounting medical expenses of his condition. His doctors estimate that the total medical expenses of the transplant, care, and medication for the first year will total Rs10,00,000. This doesn’t include the cost of the additional years of medication and the living expenses of his family. Considering all expenses, we estimate it will cost nearly Rs.30,00,000 for the surgery and 4+ years of treatment and care. This is a difficult burden for this small family to bear by themselves. Please consider supporting Sayophin and his family during his surgery and recovery. Your contribution will go directly to help Sayophin, his wife Sherin, and his three children Joshna (13), Joana (5), and Emmanuel (2) during this difficult period for their family.
In Sayophin’s hometown of Kalloorkad, a joint bank account has been opened in cooperation with Panchayath President Sheena Sunny for funds in assistance of Sayophin Koottungal and his family.
