Since the death of her husband from HIV, Subhalakshmi and her daughters have been living in an unsanitary rental property. Her weakened state leaves her only able to do sporadic menial work, thus unable to afford the food and medicines that she and her daughters need. You can read their sad story below.
With the help of a sponsor, Shubhalaxmi could develop a steady means to support herself and her two girls.

The Bhadrai family is just three women: Subhalakshmi, a 34-year old widow, and her two teenage daughters Jancy and Veera. Their lives have been a struggle for many years.
Subhalakshmi’s husband, like many of the men in this area, contracted HIV/AIDS. He died from complications of the disease. Subhalakshmi learned that not only had she also been infected but so were her two daughters. Due to the stigma of the condition her husband’s family wanted nothing to do with her or her daughters when he died. The trio was kicked out of the family home and has had to fend for themselves ever since. They have no land or house of their own and have recently been living in a dilapidated rental, under constant threat of eviction.
Subhalakshmi’s health has declined since her initial diagnosis. She recently was diagnosed with tuberculosis and has suffered from severe asthmatic attacks. Her only work has been to produce small crafts from her home while she tries to recover. With no other income for the family, 15-year old daughter Jancy has left school to work, but the education of both girls is important to Subhalakshmi. She is desperate for a helping hand to enable the family to receive the medical treatment (the girls are currently receiving no treatment for their condition), food, and security they need. The generosity of a sponsor would make an enormous and immediate difference in the lives of these three women.
