Chandrakala is a brave mother and wife trying to do the impossible for her family. She works hard, and lives in a one room rental house caring for a sick mother and trying to provide for a young daughter, who despite everything, is excelling in her school work. Her husband and son are unable to live with her in their current conditions.

With the support of a sponsor, Chandrakala could be part of the FFA’s Resource program and begin improving their living conditions by selling rice and food stuffs in their village.

Imagine being a mother to five children, all of whom have done well in their studies, while living in dire poverty. Then imagine that two of your children are suffering from disease where you cannot afford all the medications to cure them. That is the saga of Jermaine Majhi.

She and her husband had five children while living in a remote village in the state of Odisha. It is a difficult area where many depend on the mountains to find food in. Their five children, despite living in poverty, have always worked hard in school. Their only son now studies for his B.A.

Jermaine and her husband now face the difficult situation where two of their daughters have been diagnosed with tuberculosis. One is seriously ill. Both require expensive medicines the family cannot afford.
