Help is needed for three-year-old Rasleen who is suffering from cerebral palsy as her mother met with an accident when she was in her womb and unfortunately blood supply was stopped to the brain of unborn Rasleen.
Due to this she is unable to stand, talk, walk or behave like kids her age and thus is totally dependent on her parents.
She needs to be treated with stem cells and this treatment is not available in New Zealand.
The parents therefore plan to take her to Qingdao Chengyang People Hospital, which works in collaboration with Beike Biotechnology Co Ltd, famous for expertise and treatment with stem cells.
The treatment has to be an ongoing process and for the first lot of treatment the parents need to raise NZ $60,000.
Last week in a very emotional speech, Daljit Singh, JP, Spokesman for the NZ Sikh Society requested the gathering at Takanini Sikh Temple to donate for this worthy cause.
This resulted in $9000 being collected and handed over to the mother. Readers of Indian Weekender who wish to contribute can do so by depositing the money directly into a trust account specially set up for Rasleen as per the details below:
