Vinodh - CHD surgery sponsored by Dr.Mani Children Heart Foundation
8 year old Vinodh was interviewed on NDTV, a national cable TV channel. When asked what he was going to do now that he had his heart operation, the little boy said: "I'm going to take good care of my mom."
Abandoned by her husband when her son was a toddler, Vinodh's mother managed to get by as a daily-wage construction worker. Her meager income of Rs.500 a month barely managed to feed her two children. Heart surgery for her son would cost a mind-boggling Rs.65,000.
So Vinodh's heart, burdened by a complex set of defects called Tetralogy of Fallot, struggled on. Until he received a heart operation when donors to the Dr.Mani Children's Heart Foundation pitched in to contribute the funds for Vinodh's surgery.
The grin of joy on the little boy's face matched the tired smile of relief on his mother's!
