Vinod Kumar suffered from Frequent respiratory infection. A hole in the heart between the upper chambers Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) was discovered during one episode of hospitalization. Being the only sibling put their parents in great trauma. They were on the lookout for donors for more than 3 years. His father is a painter by profession with a monthly income of about Rs.500. This was just not sufficient to run the house which comprised of 4 members. About six years ago their house was burned down in a fire accident and their agony was multiplied when they heard that their only son was suffering from heart problems. However god was gracious to them. The government granted them a house for free and their son was operated by us. He is now fine after the surgery and aspires to become a pilot. After surgery Mr. Vinodh Kumar donated Rs.3000/- for the corpus fund which was used along with other donations for surgery on another boy Surya with a defect called Patent Ductus Arteriosus.
