Mahalakshmi enjoys her independence

Medisetti Mahalakshmi is a 60 year old lady who lives with her husband in the village of Samalkot in coastal Andhra Pradesh. She has 2 sons and 2 daughters, who are are married and living with their families. Mahalakshmi’s husband Venkata Raju works as a daily laborer and earns about 2 $ a day, barely enough to make ends meet.  Until last year, she was able to successfully manage the household chores. But her vision began to drop gradually, making it virtually impossible to carry on independently.  She was depressed as she felt she was becoming an unnecessary burden on her husband.

After an eye exam, it was found that she needed corrective glasses, but, being poor, she could not afford them.

Your donation, Francoise, enabled Sankurathri Foundation to provide a free pair of glasses to Mahalakshmi. She can now perform her household chores without depending on anyone.

Thank you, Francoise, for restoring Mahalakshmi’s independence.
