Our  daughter  who was born on 07. 01. 2002 as a normal baby was admitted to hospital for a minor treatment on medical advice after three months of her birth.
While was being treated with an antibiotic at the hospital her level of haemoglobin (Hb) came down up to 2.5Gm/Dl (The standerd  Lavel should be for infants 10-15.5Gm/Dl) within 3 days.
Then she was treated in order to regain the standard Hb level and maintain it.  ultimately the disease was diagnosed as PURE RED CELL APLSIA at Lady ridgeway hospital for children –Borella in Sri Lanka.
            According to their  medical  advice  the  only solution for this was to get her blood transfused monthly. Afterwards in the hope of receiving a satisfactary   solution; we consulted  a  few  consultant  Hematologists in government hospitals  Among them consultant Hematologist Dr. Dammika M. Disanaake  [MBBS; Dip.  Path.  M.D. (Haematology)Ph, D,] paid a greater attention to this case. Under the guidance of Dr. Dammika M. Disanaake ; we tended to seek the medical advice of Prof.Dr. Alok  Srivatsava, (MD; FRACP; FRCPA; FRCP;  (Professor and head Departmant of haematology) of Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore ;Thmilnadu; South India.  
By then we had only two children and the younger was our little son .According to the prof. Dr. Alok Srivatsava, the best solution for our daughter’s ailment was Bone marrow Transplantation (BMT)  which should have been done in India .

History of the Disease

Our daughter who was born on 07. 01. 2002 as a normal baby was admitted to hospital for a minor treatment on medical advice after three months of her birth.
While was being treated with an antibiotic at the hospital her level of haemoglobin (Hb) came down up to 2.5Gm/Dl (The standard  Lavel should be for infants 10-15.5Gm/Dl) within 3 days.
Then she was treated in order to regain the standard Hb level and maintain it. Ultimately the disease was diagnosed as PURE RED CELL APLSIA at Lady ridgeway hospital for children –Borella in Sri Lanka.
            According to their  medical  advice the only solution for this was to get her blood transfused monthly. Afterwards in the hope of receiving a satisfactory  solution; we consulted  a  few  consultant  Hematologists in government hospitals  Among them consultant Hematologist Dr. Dammika M. Dissanayake  [MBBS; Dip.  Path.  M.D. (Hematology)Ph, D,] paid a greater attention to this case. Under the guidance of Dr. Dammika M. Dissanayake ; we tended to seek the medical advice of Prof.Dr. Alok  Srivastava, (MD; FRACP; FRCPA; FRCP; (Professor and Head Department of Hematology) of Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore ;Tamilnadu; South India. 
At that time we had only two children and the younger was our little son .According to the prof. Dr. Alok Srivatsava, the best solution for our daughter’s ailment was Bone marrow Transplantation (BMT)  which should have been done in India. Unfortunately that effort  also came to nothing because of unmatching Bone marrow of our younger son. Then they decided to increase the growth of Red Blood cells using  number of medicines .Unluckily it was also ended with smoke.
After that amidst a lot of hardships we decided to have another baby as there was possibility to do a Cord Blood Transplantation (CBT) more successfully. So my beloved wife gave birth to a baby girl amidst obstacles and impediments at the Christian Medical college in india
               Unfortunately her Cord blood too was not matching enough to do the Cord Blood transplantation successful. Then under the guidance of Prof Dr. Alok Srivastava; we managed to find out a Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) with the help of National Marrow Donor Program (N.M.D.P.) institute of America for a successful Bone Marrow Transplantation
        This surgery has been planned to be done by a team of doctors including Prof Dr. Alok Srivastava, (MD; FRACP; FRCPA; FRCP;   (Professor and head Departmant of haematology) at Christian Medical College in Vellore India in March 2012. The estimated cost for this surgery is US $ 80,000. i.e. around Rs. 8,900,000.00 (Sri Lanka Rupees) As we have no such a big money we are seeking your kind financial and nonfinancial support (i.e. Suggestions, Opinions, Advertising and guidance)

Present Situation

By now she has sat for grade 05 scholarship exam and got through. Also she is not only good at her school subjects but also extra curricular activities. She has obtained Island wide  awards for painting In addition she has  good computing skills And She is a helpful modest and generous little girl.

She is living on blood transfusion  when the Hemoglobin level goes down in her body. In addition she has no any other mental or Physical Disorders

Our Objective

        

Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) Surgery has been planned to be done by a team of doctors including Dr. Alok Srivastava, (MD;FRACP;FRCPA;FRCP; (Professor and head Department of hematology) at Christian medical college at Vellore India in the month of March 2012.
The resources needed for this surgery are to be granted by the institute of National Marrow Donor Program  ( NMDP) in USA. Prior to this surgery  US $ 49305.00 has to be sent to the above institute.

The Hospital charge for the s Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) surgery US $ 31000.00.  So the total cost of this surgery will be US $ 80,000.00 although we don’t have this amount of money with us. We have to do this some how or the other so we are planning to mortgage our house the only immovable property. We have planning to take the bank loan that is given for the government servants. But the money we can obtain from these two ways itself is not enough at all to make this a success. That’s  why we are completed to request your kind donation.

Treatments Done

Our  daughter  who was born on 07. 01. 2002 as a normal baby was admitted to hospital for a minor treatment on medical advice after three months of her birth.
While was being treated with an antibiotic at the hospital her level of  haemoglobin (Hb) came down up to 2.5Gm/Dl (The standard level should be for infants 10-15.5Gm/Dl) within 3 days.
Then she was treated in order to regain the standard Hb level and maintain it.  ultimately the disease was diagnosed as PURE RED CELL APLSIA at Lady ridgeway hospital for children –Borella in Sri Lanka.
This type of patients can be treated in abroad. So we happened to go to India with our daughter for Bone Marrow Transplantation surgery in the year 2006.
