Help for Jiya, Jeeva- dad passed away due to COVID

Covid-19 · Medical · Completed · Raised $700 of $700 (100%)

This help request came through Fr. Davis Chiramel's Covid Death Support program which aims at providing Rs 50,000 financial support to those who have lost their BreadWinners due to Covid. This help request is to support James' family. James was an auto driver and the sole wage earner for his family. He had an accident 19 years back and his left leg was paralysed. Had surgery, though not fully recovered and lost few inches of leg, was still continuing driving. 4 years back due to glucoma, he lost his eye sight, and sadly kidney failure followed. During the dialysis treatment, James contracted covid and passed away.

James wife, Joicy had a poisonous snake bite a few years back, and still have continuing difficulties due to that every year. As they had to borrow money for all the treatments, they couldn't pay the bank loans for their unfinished single sheet roof home. They have 2 school aged girls - 15 and 9 yrs. They are now finding it tough to meet their daily expenses, education expenses for their children. Please lend a hand to support this family in their time of extreme need.
