8-Year-Old With Kidney Disorder Stranded In Flooded Punjab. How You Can Help

Punjab's most devastating floods since 1988, which have left at least 37 dead, have also made life even more difficult for an eight-year-old suffering from a kidney ailment, whose village has been badly hit. 

Young Abhijot Singh is a resident of Talwandi Rai Dadu village in the Ajnala block of Amritsar district and has been suffering from a kidney disorder, called Nephrotic Syndrome. The family used to travel to the PGIMER (Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research) in Chandigarh - about 250 km away - every two months or so, incurring an expense of Rs 45,000, for his treatment, but the flood in his village and surrounding areas has complicated things immensely.
