Saji Chandran, 26 years. Looks younger. Hails from a village in Kannur district of Kerala.
He used to be part of "Ganamelas" (stage orchestras) till five months back. He penned lyrics, put tunes and ruled the stages. And spent his spare time drawing and painting.
Till he fell ill, both his kidneys failed. Learning in a shock that he needs a kidney transplant in less than two months to stay alive.
He's in the hospital bed now (Amritha Hospital, Ernakulam), needing a lot of money (at least Rs 3 lakhs) for a transplant. His mother is standing beside him. She is willing to give her kidney. Father Ramachandran died early.
His friends and local people have tried collecting some money, but they couldn't get more than Rs 40,000.
Can we help him?

One my friend has responded almost immediately and offered help. That feels great!
An update: The operation is expected to happen within a few days. Saji does not look depressed now, and his songs have become pleasant again. Thanks to everyone who helped him and prayed for him.
