                  Meera 
                    Pardeshi Meera Pardeshi was severely 
                    burned when a kitchen stove exploded. Her injuries were so 
                    severe that although Indian doctors saved her life her scars 
                    were so hideous that she refused to leave her 
                    home.
  
                   It was at the request of 
                    the late Mother Teresa that Dr. Jeffrey Meilman and the Hope 
                    For Tomorrow Foundation agreed to help Meera. In 1998 the 
                    foundation brought her to the United States and persuaded 
                    Kenmore Mercy Hospital Anesthesiologist, Dr. Thomas 
                    O'Connor, and Dr. Meilman to donate the services needed to 
                    make Meera feel human again.
  Today Meera is confident 
                    and part of the family of children who have been helped by 
                    the Hope For Tomorrow Foundation.
  Meera was blessed 
                    by Pope John Paul II 1998. |
