The following has been forwarded to Indian Newslink by a reader, seeking funds for his brother Sai Swethan Chowdavaram, who is currently being treated for lung cancer (stage four).
Swethan’s brother has set up a Givealittle page:
https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-sai-swethan-chowdavaram-fight-against-cancer
At the time of reporting, collections on this page were 76,120, far short of the target of $120,000. There is therefore a fervent appeal for more cash donations.
