An appeal to save Amol


Amol Pendse was diagnosed with Hepatitis C few years ago. Hepatitis C is an uncommon disease and Amol was extremely unlucky to contract it. The interferon injections for treatment of Hepatitis C cost Rs 15,000 each. He had to take 72 such injections. But unfortunately the disease recurred after the treatment and the virus destroyed his liver. 



Though outwardly very cheerful and positive person, his liver has now shrunken to a small size. At 35 years of age his only hope is with the liver transplant. This is the plan various doctors have recommended. 


But as we learnt the liver transplant is one of the costliest treatment.  The total cost of the liver transplant today in India is about Rupees 35 Lakhs. This includes medical tests of both the recipient and the donor, surgeries (donor & recipient), hospitalization (donor & recipient), medicines, post surgery tests and check up.  (With reference to the recommendation letter from Apollo Hosp)



Amol works in the administration department of a private company in Pune (High Places Management Pvt Ltd). You can easily comprehend that this is an impossible burden for him especially after depleting his savings for the initial costly treatment of interferon injections.



Amol, his wife Ashwini and their six year old son Malhar live in Pune. We, the family and friends of Amol, know him to be a very friendly, positive minded person. Very energetic and active Amol is a keen mountaineer, and nature enthusiast. He has climbed many rock walls and pinnacles. He has helped lot of other young people to get interested in outdoors and to become better person. He is a compassionate and highly helpful in nature. All of us have experienced his positive energy and very understanding nature. We are all blessed to have him in our lives and our lives are far richer because of him.



We all have contributed to best of abilities for this effort, but we are still very short. This is a huge challenge but are determined to make sure that money doesn’t stand between him and the treatment that he deserves. 

We are only confident because of the kindness and generosity of friends and relatives like you. We sincerely request you to join us in helping Amol receive this treatment.
