She needs help

Miss W. D. Padmalatha Perera (55) of 81/D, Ranmuthugala, Kadawatha is suffering from chronic renal failure and presently undergoing maintenance dialysis as a life saving procedure. Consultant Nephrologist Dr. Surjit Somiah has recommended haemodialysis treatment thrice a week. She says she needs Rs. 60,000 per month to obtain this treatment but due to financial constraint she is on dialysis only twice a week.

She requests philanthropists and the general public to help her financially to enable her to obtain full treatment recommended by her doctor. All contributions should be remitted to account number 1-045888-1 at the Bank of Ceylon, Kiribathgoda branch.
