Joseph Mathai - Leg Amputee and Wife Cancer patient

Emergency · Medical · Completed · Raised $1,300

Joseph Mathai is Aju Daniel's school class mate. He lives in Pothujanam Lane, Kumarapuram with his wife and two children, one just completed degree and other in 10th standard in St. Mary's.

Joseph was working as Manager of a printing press, when diabetic struck him. Now his one leg amputated and the other leg is weak to hold his weight, resulting him almost all the time, in bed. Another blow is that his wife got breast cancer and is under treatment. Now that the medicines for both itself cost nearly Rs. 7000 per month.

At present the family has no income and his debts are increasing day by day. He personally requested help from us. I have no idea how to help him and hence I did not visit him. Any amount we give will be of great help, but is for a short time. So we need to think of some sustainable way of supporting him.

He is in a very bad shape and in severe financial crisis. Imagine a house without income for the last one year, and that too with big hospital expenses.
