I had contacted wake up Pune for assistance with the treatment of my maid, who is not being hospitalized by her family due to the stigma attached to this disease. Your person "Prakash" just sent a counsellor "Niharika" who was no good. He said that you guys can help her only if I can bring her to your centre, if I could bring her to your centre, I would have just taken her to a hospital. The entire challenge was that her family was not willing to send her to the hospital or anywhere else. Today this lady has been off her medication since more than 2 weeks and is simply wasting away. This is cold blooded murder and you guys are also responsible for it, as an NGO which I guess receives a fair amount of govt grants, you guys were totally useless and showed total apathy towards the plight of a helpless woman. You'll should be ashamed of yourselves and please understand you'll have this womans murder on your hands.
