His wife, Rosamma is employed through a government project, but there is no regular job. She earns Rs. 3500 per month and is the only earning member of the family. Their son Alan is doing his Plus two, studying in a seminary, and daughter Alayana is in 8th standard.
The family lives in the coastal area of Alapuzha in a temporary shed made of wooden planks, covered with tarpaulin. They’ve been struggling in this single room structure for the past 4 years, unable to complete the house. Now, the priests at Holy Trinity Ashram have promised to help with doors and windows for the house. They need Rs. 87,000 more to complete the house, and they approached MicroCharity for financial assistance.
Ouseph from Alapuzha, Kerala has been struggling with his house construction, fate dealing him not just one, but two blows affecting his life and his family. He was working as a fisherman, and had started constructing his house when he suffered a stroke. After some medication and rest, he recovered enough to restart the construction. But a second stroke soon after, left him paralyzed on one side of the body. Now he is not able to work or move around by himself.
He was working as a daily wage laborer, but currently he is not able to work after the leg injury. Currently, he is currently staying in a home for the destitute where they provide at least the basic meals. Sinomon’s mother goes for some government-sponsored daily wage work, which is the only income for the family. But that is not regular, and she hardly earns enough to sustain the family. They reached out to MicroCharity for help with the dialysis.
Sinomon from Idukki, Kerala has been suffering from kidney failure for the past 5 years and is undergoing regular dialysis. Each dialysis costs about INR 1,000 and he need about 2 or 3 sessions a week. Kidney transplant is the only solution, but the family has no means to go ahead with it. 3 months back, while going for dialysis, Sinomon met with an accident and suffered a leg fracture. So currently he needs treatment for that as well.
Ashokan was working as a daily wage laborer when he suffered from kidney failure, three years back. He is currently undergoing regular dialysis and is not able to work. His wife has some uterine infections, and doctors have recommended Hysterectomy to remove the uterus. But the family does not have enough money to pay for this surgery, and it is currently postponed.
The Trinitarian fathers, as part of their mission, are encouraging the children to come, even if their parents cannot afford the school fee. Total expenses for one child per year comes to Rs. 10,000 including admission fee, monthly fee, books, and uniform. But there are many parents who cannot afford this amount.
So the priests reached out to MicroCharity for financial assistance in sponsoring 5 children. For a meager sum of Rs.10,000, we can lift the lives of children who would otherwise spend their lives illiterate, without any job opportunities. We appeal to our donors to help us in this cause, so that the children can start attending school.
DeMatha English Medium School is a school in the tribal area of Kamrup district in Assam, run by the Trinitarians, priests belonging to The Order of the Most Holy Trinity. Most of the students are from the surrounding villages, which are economically backward areas. The villagers earn their income from cattle rearing and daily wage work, and are not keen on sending their children to school.
