Venkayamma is 60 years old and lives in the village of China Valasidi, India. She is a widow with two sons that no longer live with her. Venkayamma works as a laborer, in which she earns two dollars per day. Due to the recent deterioration of her vision, Venkayamma could not work. Without her wages, Venkayamma cannot afford basic necessities like food and clean water.
Sadly, Venkayamma had no money for glasses or a medical checkup because she lives in poverty. Sankurathri supports people from rural communities of India with poor vision so they do not have to suffer from a preventable problem. Millions of Indians suffer from preventable vision deterioration. Thanks to your donation, Matt, Sankurathri was able to provide Venkayamma with an eye checkup and prescription glasses.
Venkayamma can continue working to support herself with her newly restored vision. Thank you, Matt, for supporting Sankurathri and Venkayamma with this life changing gift.
She is grateful for your care and support.
