Gaurav is still in the hospital since he was admitted on 21-Jan. The blood counts have started improving.

He has consistent fever since 26-Jan. The doctors have diagonized this due to the fungal infection in the lungs. The treatment for the fungal infection is a very long and expensive too. He has been recommended Pfizer’s Voriconazole 200mg two tablets per day for 3 months. Each tablet costs Rs 1700 (US$ 36). We would appreciate if you or someone you know can help source this directly from Pfizer.

Collection figures read INR 41L (approx US$ 91,000) this weekend. We thank all of you who have contributed to this and urge others to come forward too to help us bridge the gap ASAP.

We have still not been able to get in touch with the Media. Please assist us in getting introduced to contacts in the Media industry (Newspapers, TV channels, Radio, etc). This will immensly help us spread the word about Gaurav’s illness to a much larger audience and assist us in our fund collection efforts.
