8 families: India, Bangladesh, 2 in Kenya, 4 in Pakistan

Donation protected
I am Pamela Gohil. I am currently living with my husband in Florida. I am originally from Missouri. He is originally from India. I have another GoFundMe for Rohama Paulus' family group of 24 in Pakistan.

This is a GoFundMe for 8 families. All 8 have needs now for various reasons such as for clean water, rent, medical, food, warm clothes and blankets, debt reduction, and tuition. I have known these families on Facebook 3 to 8 years, except for Anointed Heeba, who I just met on Facebook in early 2025. These people are friends of mine on Facebook. Two families in Kenya, 4 in Pakistan, 1 in Bangladesh, 1 in India. As I have said at the end, even though they need more, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF I COULD SEND THEM $250 each. $2,000 hoped for ASAP.

Family number one is in India. The 20-year-old son is Sumanth Nikhil M on Facebook. The father works in a hospital but does not earn enough to buy needed medications. Now they are low on food as well. The father drives a motorcycle a long way to work, so gas takes a chunk of his income. The father needs diabetes and blood pressure meds. Sumanth has been treated for kidney stones 2 times and he feels he should have another ultrasound to see why he is again feeling pain (11/20/25). He and his mom have been needing blood pressure meds as well. His mom also has insomnia and arthritis. $650 would greatly improve their lives.

Raj Biswas in Bangladesh needs regular meds for his mom, who fell in mud after a cyclone and injured her knee, and now her back also hurts. They also need a tube well that will cost $570. (More recently he says $300 would buy a cheaper version of the well.) Neighbors no longer want to share clean water with them. They are suffering now due to lack of drinking water. He earns money from driving a rickshaw bicycle but he can barely afford food for their family of four. $650 would get the well and buy his mom meds for a few months. (Cost of meds for his mom each month is $80. 11/4/25.) They are also needing warm clothes and blankets, 12 /18/25.

David Kimutai in Kenya feeds 7 children, 2 elderly. He had planted for several years a one acre garden but they did not yield due to drought. Also, his daughter Michelle was in college. A priest or Catholic charity helped her with tuition in March 2025. By June 2 she needed tuition, $350, and other school-related costs, rent, and food, $150. Since she was not able to return to college, she is praying for funds so she can return next semester. He also has a $130 foodstore debt and is near out of food--1/6/26. He cannot find employment in his remote area. $650 will help him greatly, and college for Michelle, when funds are available. 12/18/25. Michelle took year end exams and has paid some tuition to finish 3rd semester. She needs mostly rent and food to stay on campus and a little more tuition and transportation costs. (About $450). She stayed home and studied with books before she got help to return to college to take the end of year 2025 exams.

Joseph Nzomo in Kenya needs tuition of $48 now for 3 younger kids and, if possible, boarding school costs for his high school-aged son. School in the village just goes through 8th grade. He and his wife and father (with COPD and high blood pressure) need meds regularly. His daughter Janet needs eye drops regularly. He can't find work in his remote location. They need to buy food and water now. $650 would hopefully pay for immediate medication and food and tuition and house repair needs. Their family of 7 has a partially constructed house, but they stay with his dad and with neighbors as well. They use a neighbor's outhouse. Recently I was told his dad's house needs repair. 10/9/25-- Joseph's older daughter Janet's clothes were stolen. So she needs some clothes.

An unnamed family in Pakistan has a mom with depression, thyroid issues, and she is low in iron and recently learned she may have Hepatitis C. Also the C Section she had with her last child has internal scars adhered to other organs. She is in pain. Her husband has Hepatitis C. Their 7-year-old daughter has Hepatitis A. The father works when not running a fever. Loan payments total $200 a month, from when the father and both daughters were in the hospital. They are 3 months behind in payments. They are a family of 4 but a family of 5 is staying with them since the war, so extra food is needed each week. They have a large foodstore debt. $650 would greatly help them. They are struggling to get needed medications, medical tests, and food. 12/18/25: Two year old Sheila was in the hospital recently with bronchialpneumonia. She needs a nebulizer and medicines at home, at least a $200 cost. Plus they need food. Sheila needs a Dr visit now, updated in Jan 2026.

Evangelist Margaret in Pakistan has 20 relatives in her household. Robina, mentioned next, has come to Evangelist Margaret several times for food help. The most current need has been to help widow Robina and her 3 children with food, 12/18/25. Recently 2 donors have helped dig a much needed water well for villagers. Praise God.

Robina is a widow with 3 children who lives near Evangelist Margaret. She needs a $220 phone to keep in contact with her elderly parents. Her phone was stolen. Recently she has come to Evangelist Margaret for food needs as well. $650 would help Robina and others who come to Evangelist Margaret for food needs.
Several ladies have been helping me to help them, but over time they feel unable to help again for a while or at all. Pray. Help if you can. Edit: I am adding back the 8th family, Anointed Heeba in Pakistan. Just now they need $150 for food and meds for 20 orphans and $350 for her brother to get surgery on his arm that is broken in 2 places. He is in another city where he was trying to find a job. $650 would help Anointed and her parents who are in jail from overdo debts. The 8 families in need are all Christians. TO BRING THINGS MORE MANAGEABLE, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF I COULD GIVE EACH FAMILY $250. NOTED 12/18/25. $2,000 hoped for ASAP. BUT MORE IS NEEDED.
