Lokose - skin graft surgery due to diabetes

Emergency · Medical · Completed · Raised $2,450

Mr, Lukose Joseph is a 60 yr old diabetic patient. He burned his leg in an accident and formed a large non-healing ulcer on his right lower limb. As in the photo attached, the flesh exposed most of his right leg below knee. Apart from amputation, the only other option doctors suggesting is perform a skin grafting surgery by taking skin from another area of the body. Mr. Lukose is poor, his wife cannot do her daily wage work now to take care of him and his son who is 21 used to work in a Jeweler shop, which is now closed due to corona. He has a daughter who is married and another son who is a priest. They already spent 2 lakhs for his treatment by the support from others and also by borrowing. The proposed skin graft surgery would cost close to 3 lakhs. Any assistance to support this patient would go a long way to save him from being handicapped for the rest of his life.
