Ritesh's fight for life
Donation protected
On March 5th, my brother Ritesh Sevanthi Dilipan (2 weeks after his 32nd birthday) was driving back home when he was hit by another car on the Marsha Sharp freeway, Lubbock (TX) [Click here to view the news article ]. He has suffered severe head injuries with extensive damage to his brain, medical term being Diffused Axonal Injury and Brain Stem Injury. He is currently in the UMC Surgical ICU battling for life.
Our Story - Ritu, as known to his dear ones has had a humble upbringing. With his ‘never give up’ attitude he came to Lubbock 6 years ago to pursue his Masters in Civil and Environmental Engineering post his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from Dayanand Sagar College, Bangalore. His passion for a cleaner world helped him get a full scholarship to pursue Doctorate (PhD) in ‘Waste Water treatment for NASA’. With several international publications to his credit, Ritu was on course to receive his Doctorate in a few months and on the night of the fatal accident, he had made a significant progress on his PhD proposal.
Ritu’s love for learning and teaching always saw him amidst passionate discussions on engineering and supporting the student community & friends in understanding life in the US. Like a true Bangalore boy, his love for food was evident and he never missed an opportunity to demonstrate his culinary skills.
Ritesh has been an incredible student, brother, son and friend and is respected, loved and adored by his faculty & his students equally. It would be a shame if such a young and bright student was denied the best chance at a life that he deserved.
How you can help - Ritu has been a fighter all his life and we need your support now, more than ever, to help him fight and lead a life that he, his family and friends envisioned. As his sister, I request you to pray for his recovery and support him by contributing towards his medical expenses. We are moving him from ICU to a Long Term Acute Care (LTAC) center this week and would have an immediate expense of airlifting him to a facility nearby. Your contribution would help a great deal towards expenses that include Long term Acute Care, Post LTAC rehabilitation, living expenses for his family that has moved from India and medical expenses post his insurance coverage.
Renu, Ritesh's sister has been nominated to withdraw funds to support medical assistance.
