3-year old Shivani, had a snake bite 1 year back. She struggled for life for several days, but ultimately survived. The place on the right foot where the snake had bitten however became a large infected wound, which took several months to heal. The wound healed with the formation of contracture. Her foot has become permanently twisted and she cannot straighten it on her own. When she stands, only the tip of her right heal touches the ground. She finds it difficult to walk and almost impossible to run. Her foot can be straightened by a complex surgical procedure which will enable her to walk and run normally. Also if the deformity is not corrected now, the bones and joints which are growing will grow in an abnormal fashion and may eventually lead to an uncorrectable deformity. The cost of the surgery is Rs.1, 00,000. Since the family cannot afford the cost of the surgery we are looking for the sponsorers for the child's surgery.The contribution of Rs.40, 000 has already been received by one of the donor. To contribute please send your cheque or DD in favour of Sparsh Foundation, Bangalore
