Chakram is 70 years old and lives alone in the coastal region of Andhra Pradesh, India. She is a widow with four children that no longer live with her. Chakram works as a daily laborer and earns about one dollar per day. Recently, Chakram’s vision has deteriorated to a point that she can no longer work. Because of her poor economic state, Chakram cannot afford a medical checkup or prescription glasses that would allow her to continue work.
Chakram attended Sankurathri’s eye screening camp in a nearby village. Sankurathri provides quality eye care for impoverished Indians like Chakram. Thanks to your support, Vivek, the organization was able to provide Chakram with corrective glasses so she can continue to support herself.
Without your help, Chakram would become a burden to her children as she would not be able to afford food. Already, Chakram lives in extreme poverty, but with your help she lives happily knowing she can work to support herself. Thank you, again, Vivek, for supporting Chakram and Sankurathri.
