Remember Vaishali Yadav, the six-year-old Pune girl suffering from a heart disease who recently wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking financial help? She has now written again to the Prime Minister, thanking him for his prompt response which saved her life.
Her letter, filled with gratitude and respect, is so emotional it will bring tears to your eyes. She wrote:
"Respected, Modiji, in response to my letter, you facilitated my operation in a distinguished hospital. I am fine now. My uncle, father, grand mother and brother are grateful to you. Everyone now addresses me as your daughter. From now on, I will attend school regularly."
Vaishali, who hails from a poor family, suffered from a hole in her heart. Her father, a small-time painter, was unable to afford an expensive heart surgery and had even sold her toys and bicycle to purchase medicines.
She then wrote to PM Modi for help, explaining her condition and her family's inability to meet the huge medical bills.
Within a week, the Prime Minister's Office contacted the Pune district administration asking them to help the girl. The district authorities traced the family's address and rushed the girl to the city-based Ruby Hall Clinic, where she was successfully operated upon on June 2.
"After coming to know that the girl required medical help, she was admitted to the Ruby Hall Clinic hospital and was operated free of cost," District collector Sourabh Rao told PTI. His office also sent a report of her surgery to the PMO after she was discharged from hospital.
