Wathukarage Asoka Thilakarathne (33), a resident of Pussathota Grama Niladhari division in the Ratnapura district is undergoing treatment for Leber’s Optic Neuropathy and has been asked to continue the medicine lifelong.
He has to find more than Rs.13,000 per month to buy the medicine prescribed by Consultant Neurologist Dr. Srikanth Srinivasan at the Lanka Hospitals some time ago. Asoka has faced severe hardships to find the money each month. His mother passed away from a sudden illness a few years ago and his father is bedridden.
His sister is also deaf and can’t support him. In such circumstances, a humble request has been made to donors to make their financial contributions to Wathukarage Asoka Thilakarathne’s account number 245-2001-2005-6034 at People’s Bank, Godakawela branch. He can be contacted on mobile number 077-4277975.
