Aligarh: An alumnus of the Aligarh University who was bed ridden since 2012 due to rare disease has got new lease of life, thanks to the help pouring from the network of AMU alumni all over the world.
Alamger from Manjhari Bazar village, in the Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh studied at AMU from 2000 to 2005 and then went to work in Mumbai. Since 2010 he was suffering from a rare disease and was bed ridden since 2012. Gradually finical burden took a toll on him and his family.
Doctors advised him to get replaced both his hip bones and knees, the estimated expenditure of which was about 1 million INR. As he could not afford such big amount, he contacted few alumni of the AMU. Soon a Facebook page of Alamger’s Friends was made to help generate money for him, the old Aligarians helped raise 1.5 million rupees.
His surgeries were finally done at Delhi’s prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and he is now recovering.
