Panvel, October 7, 2026 - A five-year-old Adivasi boy from an impoverished family, Pali, had been healthy prior to an accident during a trip to Karnataka. Accidentally struck by charcoal or a stone during play, he endured severe pain and sleepless nights for three months. His family sought treatment but could not afford the procedure.
Local tribal leader Sachin Sankar stepped in with a significant contribution, and Rabira, connected to the hospital, assisted the family in securing Laxmi Hospital, Panvel. The surgery, costing Rs 44,000, required additional funds. The State Bank of India’s Seawoods NRI Branch manager, Jayati Sarkar, Rohit Singh and D.H. Subramaniam, with The Divine Foundation’s Let’s Transform Lives and Spread Happiness initiatives, raised the needed support. The successful surgery alleviated the child’s pain, providing much-needed relief to his family.
