NATIONAL ATHELETE GARIMA JOSHI PARALYSED, NEEDS YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, DONATE GENEROUSLY

Destiny is unpredictable. Sometimes it gives you tremendous successes and you feel yourself on the top of the world but then all of a sidden, something so adverse happens that you feel as is everything is finished. Things take a topsy tervy turn for the worst and then one have no option but to pray the Almighty for a new lease of life.

This is exactly what has happened with a young and highly promising athelete from Dwarhat, Uttarakhand with umpteen number of medals in atheletics, the popular young UDAN PARI of Uttarakhand Garima Joshi who had just started acknowledging tremendous popularity through her exemplary performance in national atheletics championships in various national competitions.

Winner of good number of medals in race competitions Garima stood sixth in the 10 kilometre national race championships in Bangalore held between 27th to 18th May for which the Uttarakhand chief minister had sanctioned her a financial aid of Rs. 25000.

Hailing from a lower middle class family with scarce resources, hard lucked Garima met with a critical car accident in Bengalore after the completion of the championship.

She was extremely unfortunate to get her spinal chord  broken  during the accident and had to be operated in the Bengalore hospital where she was addmitted after the severe spinal chord injury. As a result she became completely handicapped with her lower body portion having been paralysed.

This star performer is today addmitted in the Kasturba Manipal hospital in Bengaluru in a critical condition struggling for her survival.

Garima’s unemployed father Puran Joshi was compelled to take Rs five lakh loan in lieu of his house and Land being mortgaged on the 10% interest rate from private money lenders for the surgery of the spinal chord of her severely injured daughter.

As a result her lower portion of the body has been paralysed after 18 rods were implanted in the damaged spinal chord of Garima.

While the elder brother of Garima  is taking care of her at the Bengalore hospital, her distressed father Puran Joshi is taking care of her mother suffering from cancer at Safdarjung hospital, New Delhi.

Her BPL ration card carrying  father has no source of income while Garima’s 18 year old brother is a uitility worker in a small restaurant in Mumbai.

The entire family is in immense financial jeopardy with Garima having been paralysed and mother suffering from dreaded cancer at Safdarjung Hospital.

The poor family has not received any financial help from the Union government, Uttarakhand government or the Sports Federation of India despite their being under the BPL catagory thus entitled for free treatment and monetery assistence from the government.

It would be in the fitness of the things if one and all support this poor and hapless family by contributing whole heartedly in the following bank account to enable Garima bear the expenses of the hospital and ensure her and the family’s survival.

Uttarakhand Journalists Forum requests all the donors to show their ooen heart and contribute generously. To feel convinced about the transparency of the case you can also talk to her father or the Haldwani based social and RTI activis Gurvinder Singh Chadda on the following numbers.
