Her new glasses have put the smile back on Mangayamma’s face

Palla Mangayamma, 62
Dear Sivakumar,

Palla Mangayamma is a 62 year old widow from Pithapuram village in Andhra Pradesh. Her husband died three years back, and she lives with her son and his family. Up to last year she was able to manage her own chores at home and also help her daughter-in-law with domestic work. But slowly her vision has dropped since last five months and she found it difficult to manage at home and she felt very depressed.

Mangayamma attended the free eye screening camp conducted by Sankurathri Foundation in her village of Pithapuram and after a thorough eye examination it was found that she needs corrective glasses. Since she does not have any money of her own, she could not afford to purchase a pair of glasses. Your donation, Sivakumar, enabled Sankurathri Foundation to give a pair of glasses to Mangayamma.

Thank you, Sivakumar, for helping Mangayamma see better.
