  • EXCLUSIVE: Boy with webbed fingers, toes treated like a pariah in the neighborhood and at school, poor parents pin hope on crowdfunding to get their child treated By Sanjay Pandey in India Twelve-year-old Mannu Kumar is treated like a pariah in his neighborhood and at school because of his appearance. Mannu, standard III student, cannot run around like a regular boy of his age. He can't use hands for eating or any other purpose, nor can he wear shoes or slippers. Mannu suffers from Syndactyly, a rare genetic condition, because of which his hands and feet are fused-like. The disease causes abnormal fusion of hands and feet. The rare condition only affects one in 10 lakh people. Mannu, who hails from the Koderma of the east Indian state of Jharkhand, is the eldest child of Anand Kumar, a small-time grocery shop owner, and Rani Devi, a housewife. Mannu also has one sister and the medical expenses of his condition are quite a burden on the family. His parents have spent a fortune on his treatment in the last two years. They have sold family property and jewelry to arrange funds for the boy's medication and diagnosis. Since his parents are uneducated they couldn't pick on the early signs of the disease and his diagnosis was made only this year in July. Now it is in an advanced stage and doctors have told them that it would take at least Rs 10 lakh for reconstructing Mannu’s hands and feet. Doctors informed the parents that the estimated cost of treatment, including neuro and plastic surgery procedures, would come to approximately Rs 10 lakh. Moreover, the family would have to shell out Rs 5 lakh for the treatment process to begin. Since the family has already exhausted all their resources in the last two years, on the boy's medication, they have started a fundraiser to raise money for his further treatment. His mother Devi said: ‘It is the curse of the God that my son was born like this and I am worried about his future. ‘I’m afraid he might struggle to lead a no

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar.

I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • A young boy tries to hold his mask in place as he prays, in Parkwood, Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday, May 31, 2020. The joint prayer in Afrikaans opened a special chicken lunch served by the Parkwood Community Upliftment (PCU) project. The youth organization, which normally feeds children as part of an after-school care program, has been feeding children, the elderly, and many other hungry people, in this poverty-stricken area in the Cape Flats since lockdown started more than two months ago. As the nation moves down to Level 3, on June 1st, CPU founder Max Amansure says the organization will continue to feed people. Often it's "only" bread as the organization doesn't have any regular funding. However, as the area has been hard hit by COVID-19, Amansure says he wishes Parkwood could have remained on Level 5 Lockdown. PHOTO: EVA-LOTTA JANSSON
