Rajandhkari -- I quickly skimmed through your post and others' comments and might have missed some important points there. But, tell us some more please. I understand that your parents don't have much time - (a week?). But out of 11 lakhs how much have they paid off - if any? How much additional $$ (other than what you've gathered and sent + some money they might have put together) do you think they'd need at this time? Selling your old iPhone and some mobile gadgets won't bring in much - I'm sure you realize that! If that much money is going to solve this problem, then it just can't be a 'problem'. As you see we have some folks willing to help you already. And I'll also be more than happy to add on to that. But knowing a little more about you (not necessarily your identification) would further supplement our emotions. I personally have no doubts on your current situation, but people - in general will have a better reason to lend you a hand, given the legitimacy of your need backed by some realistic facts that prove you are who you are, and are in need of help.

P.S: I'll transfer some money to your paypal account shortly. I sincerely hope that you and your family will get over these tough moments soon.
