This young man is called Leader Nongsiej. 2 weeks ago Bobbie, our worker in Shillong, saw him as he was driving by and stopped to ask if he would like the operation. He said, yes.
This is how he was then.

Nandini Singh age about 4 years is suffering with Brain Axial (Full body is Stiff) need Neurosurgiacal operation, multiple abscesses (pyogenic) obstructive Hyprocepha ls. Brain is full of Puss. They have treated their child at Cuttack hospital but as the Doctor advise for a major operation now because of the finance they left the hospital.

Shadrak says; Their parents requested for their child for help. Though we have prayed for her, we request also for all your prayer. I need your kind concern for if we can help her in this crucial financial situation.

Geoff says; In all honesty we try not to get involved with medical cases simply because they cost so much but I have asked that the child be offered the operation trusting the costs will be about £150 -200. If anyone knows of any charity or agency that we can apply to for funds for cases such as this I will be most glad to hear from you.

Donations for this case can of course be sent direct to me – see contacts page – Many thanks
