Chakraarao looks forward to going back to work

Ummidi Chakra Rao, 63
Dear Sivakumar,

Sixty three year old Ummidi Chakrarao lives in the village of Chebrolu in coastal Andhra Pradesh. He works as a farm laborer and earns about $ 50 per month. He has two sons who are both married and live seperately. Chakrarao and his wife live at the edge of poverty.

Chakrarao suddenly lost his vision a few weeks back, and at an eye screening camp organized by Sankurathri Foundation, his problem was diagnosed as a refractive error, for which he needed a pair of corrective glasses that he could not afford.

Your donation, Sivakumar, enabled Sankurathri Foundation to give him a pair of free glasses. His vision has now been restored, and he looks forward to going back to work. Thank you for giving Chakrarao back his dignity and his livelihood.
