Help Sreemathi's Kids Stay in School

Hi Folks,

During my recent visit to India, I met a family that was in dire need of financial help and support.

Sreemathi is the sister of Prema, who has been with our family in Palakkad for years as a domestic help.

For those of you who can understand Malayalam, the picture on this campaign is a hand-written letter which has all the details.

In short,

Sreemathi currently lives in a rented house in Aluva in Ernakulam district, Kerala, India.

She has 2 kids, one aged 17 who is in +1 and the other aged 15 who recently finished 10th grade.

Both of them passed their 10th grade matriculation exam with flying colors. Sreemathi suffers from a condition that affects the normal functioning of her liver and that makes it extremely difficult for her to take up a vast majority of jobs. Her husband has abandoned the family and they haven't heard from him for a while.

She still struggles and finds work for some part of the month, earning just enough to put food on the table and for her costly medicines.

But this meant that her kids could not continue their studies and had to take a break. They tried to help their mom by going for some daily wage jobs across the town.

They had failed to pay the rent (6000 INR per month (~75$)) for 4 months, when we first heard of her plight.

We have helped her pay off the rent debt and given her some support to put her kids back in school for now.

I am doing this fundraiser to raise a decent sum to help them sleep at night, not having to worry about food, medicine, and education expenses, at least until the kids get to college.

Kindly contribute what you can and please share in your social circles. I will be personally transferring this amout to to Sreemathis account.

For folks from India or those who wish to donate in INR, copy pasting the account details from the note(sorry its a sideways image since otherwise important details get cutoff).
