My wife, Sukumari Kalukottege (37yrs), mother of Vihanga (boy-4yrs) & Sayumi (girl-3yrs), daughter of late Mr. K.K. Piyadasa (retired teacher, Mahinda College, Galle) and Mrs. Amara Arambewela (retired teacher, Sangamitta College, Galle), sister of Dr. Prasansa Kalukottege (Senior Lecturer, University of Sri Jayewardenepura) and Dr. Pankaja Kalukottege (Lady Ridgeway Hospital), was diagnosed to have Leukemia (Chronic Granulocytic Leukemia) last January. Since then she was under treatment, and her disease has now been transformed into Blast crisis (Acute Myeloid Leukemia), which is an aggressive form of the disease.

Doctors in Sri Lanka have recommended that she is taken immediately abroad for further treatments and she was admitted to the National University Hospital, Singapore on 10^th May. After about 4-6 weeks of initial treatments, a Bone Marrow Transplant is planned to be done.

According to the hospital authorities the total cost is expected to be US$ 90,000 – US$ 100,000.

I am working at the Computer Centre of University of Sri Jayewardenepura and my wife is attached to the Ministry of Urban Development and Water Supply. We are in a position to raise only about US$ 40,000 within our family circles. Therefore, we have no choice but to appeal you to contribute financially in whatever capacity to save her life.

A/C at Seylan Bank, Nugegoda Branch exclusively opened for paying the expenses of her medical treatments.
