Suryarao can work and earn

Koppala Suryarao
Dear Julian,

Koppala Suryarao is a 65 year old man living in the village of Peddapuram in coastal Andhra Pradesh.  He is unemployed and living alone after his wife succumbed to an illness a couple of years ago. He has two daughters who are married and living with their families. Suryarao used to work as a gardener, but does not have any savings to get by. He had to quit his job when a tragic accident left him disabled. Thereon, he did odd jobs to earn a meager income to help sustain himself.

For the past one year, Suryarao’s vision has been deteriorating due to which he was unable to get jobs. He felt depressed and helpless.

Your donation, Julian, enabled Sankurathri Foundation to provide a free pair of glasses to him. Suryarao can now see well again and is back to work.

Thank you, Julian, for restoring Suryarao’s eyesight.
