College student seeks funds for life-saving kidney transplant

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the dreams of Yugeswaran, a 22-year-old college student from Malaysia, have been shattered due to kidney failure. The ambitious young man, who was diligently pursuing a degree in law enforcement and aspiring to join the police force, now finds himself in a life-threatening battle against a dire health condition.

Yugeswaran’s journey took a devastating twist in 2022, just days after celebrating his 21st birthday. He suddenly collapsed at home, leaving his family bewildered and alarmed. After a series of medical examinations, the harsh reality emerged – both of Yugeswaran’s kidneys were failing due to renal tubular disease, despite his absence of prior health issues. The news was a devastating blow to the young man and his family.

Faced with this dire prognosis, Yugeswaran is now in a race against time to receive a life-saving kidney transplant. While he awaits the transplant that could offer him a second chance at life, he has resorted to daily dialysis from home. His health has deteriorated to the point where he struggles to descend from the fourth floor for treatment. Furthermore, his eyesight is dimming, further intensifying the urgency of his situation. The family is in desperate need of financial support to cover the substantial cost of the transplant procedure.

A determined fight for survival

Yugeswaran’s determination to overcome this debilitating condition and get back on his feet is nothing short of inspirational. He may have had to put his dreams and ambitions on hold temporarily, but he remains resolute in his fight for survival and recovery, determined to regain his strength and follow his dream of serving the community as a police officer.

However, the path to recovery is far from easy, and the financial burden of a life-saving kidney transplant is a challenge for Yugeswaran and his family. The kidney transplant that Yugeswaran urgently requires will take place in Tamil Nadu, India. The estimated cost for this life-saving surgery amounts to approximately INR 20,000 (RM 1,150) per month, a staggering sum for a family already grappling with medical expenses and uncertainty about the future. They are doing everything they can to secure the funds needed to save their son’s life.

The family’s plea for public support

Yugeswaran’s father, Jayabalan, currently working as a driver, and his wife, Shanty, have made dedicated efforts to seek assistance from various sources, including government support. Regrettably, their endeavors have yielded limited progress and encountered numerous challenges in securing the funds required. Their plea for support has, unfortunately, gone unanswered, compelling them to turn to the general public for help. Contributions from individuals and compassionate souls are now their last hope to raise the essential funds needed to secure Yugeswaran’s life-saving transplant.

The family is appealing to kind-hearted individuals and good Samaritans to contribute whatever they can to support Yugeswaran in his battle against kidney failure. Every contribution, no matter the amount, can make a significant difference in helping him access the necessary medical treatment.
