A desperate father seeks urgent help for his daughter's life-saving care after severe diabetic sepsis left her overseas.

International

My name is GuruDayal. I am 75 years old, retired, and my only income is my pension. I am writing with deep humility to ask for support with the urgent medical bills for my daughter, Ashika Devi Dayal, aged 38.

Ashika developed severe diabetic foot sepsis in Fiji after a suture was left inside her wound, causing a serious infection. Since then, she has been taken to theatre three times. She was discharged with a 20 cm x 5 cm wound on her left foot, with exposed bone and tendon.

CWM Hospital discharged her home, but our family feared for her life. We arranged urgent care at MIOT Hospital, and she was meant to arrive there on 5 June. Sadly, while in transit at Hong Kong Airport, she developed serious medical complications and was rushed by ambulance to Princess Margaret Hospital.

She is now admitted in Hong Kong and undergoing extensive tests and treatment. We are grateful she is in safe hands, but the bills are overwhelming because she is an international patient.

The funds raised will help cover her hospital bills, tests, treatments, surgery, medication, wound care, travel and accommodation.

I am a 75-year old father asking for help I never imagined I would need.

Any support, no matter how small, will help give my daughter a chance to survive, heal and return home safely.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this difficult time.

GuruDayal,

Father of Ashika Devi Dayal

Update on Ashika 15 June 2026

Our sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to everyone for your kindness, generosity, support, and prayers. We are truly grateful.

Ashika was successfully transferred from Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong, to MIOT International in Chennai in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Unfortunately, due to a medical mishap in Hong Kong, her stay in Chennai will need to be extended. We are doing our very best to manage the financial challenges, including the hospital expenses incurred in Hong Kong.

We remain hopeful and deeply appreciate your continued support, encouragement, and prayers during this difficult time.

Thank you once again for standing with us and keeping Ashika in your thoughts and prayers.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
