Venkata Ratnam can continue living dignity

Jyothula Venkata Ratnam, 65
Dear The Butson,

Sixty five year old Jyothula Venkata Ratnam is a widow living in the village Pithapuram in coastal Andhra Pradesh. Her husband Veeraraju died three years ago due to heart attack. She has three sons and one daughter. Venkata Ratnam is helpless and works as a daily laborer to make her living. She earns about $ 2 a day when she finds work. For the last few months, however, she has not been able to find work, because her vision was going down.

At that time she came to know about Sankurathri Foundation, and after a complete eye checkup, was prescribed a pair of glasses for better vision. Through your generous donation, the Butson Family, she was provided a pair of corrective glasses.

Thank you for your kindness. Now Venkata Ratnam can look after herself, and continue living with dignity.
