Akkamma is back to helping others

Thank you for funding a pair of glasses for Akkamma, a 65 year old widow from Pithapuram Village in Andhra Pradesh, India. She lives with her son because her husband died 20 years back due to an age-related health problem. Until last year, Akkamma was able to manage her own chores at home and also help her daughter-in-law with domestic work. Over the past 10 months, her vision has slowly diminished and she has found it difficult to complete her usual tasks.

Akkamma attended the Sankurathri Foundation’s free eye screening camp in Pithapuram, and after a thorough eye examination, it was found she needed corrective spectacles. When they mentioned the price, Akkamma said she had no money and could not purchase them. Through your generosity, Ruby, the Sankurathri Foundation gave her glasses for free. Thank you so much for your help!
