She is now battling for life at the Hosmat Hospital ICU here, her financially poor parents clueless about meeting the mounting expenses. 

Janani was travelling with her parents on a two-wheeler and was being held by her mother,   when an autorickshaw hit their vehicle on the right side. Her father, Nagarjuna lost balance, and Janani was on the road. A speeding lorry ran over Janani's right leg. Diagnosis revealed fracture and total loss of skin and soft tissue from the groin to the toes.

On arrival at Hosmat the same night, an emergency surgery of wound cleansing and two bone external fixator surgery was performed to save the child's right leg. The child now needs multiple surgeries including plastic and recontructive surgeries. She runs the risk of losing her leg, doctors said.

Janani's father is a ticket vendor at a cinema hall and mother Srivani is housewife. He is not able to meet the medical expenses. Donors could send their donations to Hosmat Handicapped Children & Poor Patients Foundation, No 45, Magarath Road, Bangalore-560 025. Telephone Nos 2559396/97, 9844470489.
