T. Ram and T. Lakshman were
born as twins to poor parents. The sister
as twins |
to poor parents. The sister of the father,a widow
adopted her second nephew Lakshman, hoping he
would be of help to her when grown up But the
poor auntie was disillusioned and forlorn.
When she knew that her both nephews were victims
of MD. Lakshman went to school till he reached
class VII. Now he is fully immobile.
IMDA helped the family in some ways. But it's
not much because of it's meager resources.
Now Lakshman helps his adopted mother (aunt)
doing some petty job at home in gold plated
handicraft business straining his eyes and poor
fingers. He helps his adopted
mother earning Rs. 10 a day doing the petty
handiwork sitting at home.
This is a family, deserving your consideration
for help. You may send your donation by M.O.
or Cheque direct to them.

The youngest one, the boy Nagaraj (14)

studied up to class five and his sister (20)
run a small petty kiosk (bunk they call) selling
biscuits etc, before a convent school. The convent
school students take the biscuits, chocolates
and other things themselves and leave the right
cash in his cash box. They sometimes take the
change from the cash showing it to Nagaraj (see
photo) and Nagaraj is there as observer. And
his sister is brought in a wheel chair (supplied
by IMDA) to give Nagaraj relief from the days
work. Thus the two help their parents in their
humble way. The other eldest sister ironically
named sreedevi does oil colour paints.

Report
from Calcutta Chapter
 |
Here
at Calcutta I have contacted the parents
of 3 M.D. Patients directly as well as through
my friend. I supplied them |
Newsletter 'Bridge' and requested them to contact
you in the mean time. From their aspects it is
to my apprehension that they are less interested
about their M.D. Boys to leak out in the society
since they are already engaged/involved individually
with their physician as also
to to neorlogists. So they never consider to join
any Association for the M.D. boys to fight against
the M.D.
My opinion is that if we can maintain their
mental health by gossiping jokes, playing and
accompany them off and on they can enjoy themselves.
They should not be made to understand that they
are 'burden' to the family. They should be involved
with painting, drawing, pictorial education,
indoor games much as possible and vocal or instrumental
music. The parents should always keep themselves
happy and MD boys too. Parents who have lost
their M.D. Boy/Boys should realize that they
have lost the 'Angel' lived in Heaven not on
Earth.
