Hi All,

This is a request from me to all my friends and readers to donate towards a blogger who is in need.

One of my co-authors and blogging friend Silki’s Brother aged 25 years has been diagnosed as a case of CRF (Chronic Renal Failure) and requires a Kidney Transplant operation to be done. The cost of the operation in India is around 5-8 lakh Rupees which amounts to something between $13000-20000 and is a huge sum which cannot be easily collected by my Silki.

With this post I want to urge my readers and blogger friends to donate generously towards the expenses for the operation. Your donation can help someone in distress.

Rest assured this is not a hoax and the money you donate will be used for a genuine cause. I also urge my fellow bloggers to urge their readers to donate to the cause. All the money you donate will be directly received by Silki.

You can also contribute by sporting the chipin widget on your blog. Any help would be considered helpful.

If you want to sport the widget on your blog please use this code or else you can email me at dsouza [dot] keith [at] gmail [dot] com if you want a customized widget.

Looking forward to your generosity towards saving a young man.

Thanks
