Flood Relief - Satheesh velayudhan

Flood Relief · House Construction · Fully funded · Raised $0

My neighbors home, in India, has been devastated by recent natural calamities. Due to flooding, his home has suffered structural and foundation problems. His baby boy also needs hospital treatment for reasons which he doesn't feel comfortable disclosing. Due to all these reasons he had to take a second mortgage on his home. He has not been able to make ends meet for a while now and is in jeopardy of loosing his home. He was denied Chief Minister's relief fund.

He took a home loan from muthoot bank a couple of yrs ago for 7 lak and he has repaid 5 lak but due to interest he still owes 7.2 lak. He had to take this loan due to a medical condition his youngest son is suffering from.

He owes the bank 670,000 Indian rupees which is roughly equivalent to 10,000 USD. His child's treatment costs almost 25,000 Rs which is roughly 350 USD per month and his monthly income is only 15,000 Rs which is roughly 215 USD. I am currently in the process of working out a deal with the hospital at which his child receives treatment in order to lower treatment costs.

Currently the biggest threat to this family is that they are on the verge of loosing their home. Please contribute however possible and please keep their child in your prayers.
