New Delhi: Nine years after Sonali Mukherjee was left visually impaired, partially hearing impaired and disfigured due to an acid attack in Jharkhand, several people have now offered help. This came after CNN-IBN focused on the plight of the 27-year-old and has continuously been campaigning to raise funds for her treatment.

Help is pouring in after CNN-IBN showed how she is struggling for medical and financial aid, nine years after becoming a victim of an acid attack.

Doctors at the LV eye institute in Hyderabad have offered to do all they can to restore her vision. Sonali was left completely blind and has sustained severe burns all over her body.

Many of CNN-IBN viewers have also helped Sonali by donating generously to help fund her medical expenses. The Galgotias Institute in Greater Noida has also chipped in by offering Rs 1 lakh to Sonali.

Sonali Mukherjee has expressed her gratitude to the media and to the doctors who have stepped forth to help her.
