An Appeal from HELP (Human Effort for Love and Peace) Foundation, J&K
Dear Friends,
Four hundred and sixty (460) of our fellow Kashmiris have received grievous injuries to their eyes with pellet hits.
Doctors have operated on 385 including children and young boys.
Over 100 victims have already lost eyesight permanently. It is apprehended that many others may also lose their eyesight permanently.
HELP Foundation was the first local CSO to reach out to the injured patients in the Valley's leading hospitals including SKIMS, SMHS and its associated hospitals, with medical aid.
HELP not only provided medico-surgical stuff to the supplies to these hospitals, and a few in Kupwara, to supplement their depleted stock position, but also supported other NGOs to reach out to the maximum needy patients in the shortest possible time.
HELP has so far supported eye surgeries at SMHS and many advanced eye surgeries in private hospitals outside J&K.
Almost 250 patients stand identified who need to undergo advanced surgeries in Ophtho Specialized Hospitals outside state.
Many are being flown to Hyderabad today, Friday, August 12.
Most of the patients are diagnosed with: Vitreous hemorrhage with intraocular pallet, associated with Retinal detachment, Associated with Coronial tear, Cataract Iris Trauma. Double Perforage and related.
All our donors and benefactors are, hereby, appealed to donate to our NGO in this hour of need to enable us to reach to the maximum number of victims.
Please Donate Generously and Demonstrate Empathy with the Grief and Grievances of Kashmiris
