Dear Donors/Supporters,

We would like to share an important update and sincerely thank you for your continued trust and support.

As communicated earlier, since Rathna Poovazhagi’s surgery could not proceed due to parental consent issues, the funds raised for her treatment are being responsibly utilised for another urgent pediatric heart case, ensuring that your valuable contributions continue to save young lives.

We would like to inform you that the funds raised for Rathna Poovazhagi will now be utilised for the life-saving heart surgery of Lathivik, a 1-year-and-6-month-old baby diagnosed with a serious congenital heart condition. Lathivik has been admitted to the hospital today for further medical evaluations in preparation for his surgery.

After completing the required assessments, the doctors’ team will finalise the surgery date and treatment plan. We will keep you closely informed with timely updates on Lathivik’s health progress and surgery schedule.

Dear Donors/Supporters,

We are writing to share an important and sensitive update regarding Rathna Poovazhagi, for whom you have so kindly extended your support.

Initially, the hospital doctors’ team carefully explained Rathna’s medical condition to her parents and clearly outlined the urgency and necessity of the heart surgery. After detailed counselling and discussions, the hospital team obtained the parents’ consent to proceed and permission to initiate fundraising for Rathna’s treatment, based on which the campaign was started.

Over the following days, as the surgery date approached, the doctors and hospital management made repeated efforts to counsel and reassure Rathna’s father, addressing medical concerns and explaining the risks of delaying the procedure. The team tried their best to convince the family to proceed in the best interest of the child.

However, despite multiple discussions and sincere efforts by both the doctors and hospital team, Rathna’s father has now expressed that he is not willing to proceed with the surgery. As parental consent is mandatory, the hospital is unable to move forward with the procedure.

In view of this situation, and after careful consideration, the hospital team has decided to utilise the funds raised for Rathna towards other urgent and critical pediatric heart cases, where families have provided consent and children are in immediate need of life-saving treatment. This ensures that your valuable contributions continue to be used responsibly and without delay.

We understand that this update may be disappointing. Please be assured that your support will still save young lives. We will keep you posted shortly on which child’s surgery will be completed using these funds, once the hospital finalises the next urgent case.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding, trust, and continued support in our mission to save children’s lives.

With regards,
