Alphonsa was widowed four years ago. Since then she has struggled to support her teenage daughters and let them finish their education.
The family now lives in poverty. You can read more of their story below. Your help would put food on their table and allow Alphonsa’s oldest daughter to complete her nursing education and begin to support her mother and sister.

Alphonsa is a 45-year-old widow with two teenage daughters. She works as a tailor. She and her late husband, Sabi, worked hard to raise their children and improve their lives. They lived in a small home, had a modest income, and encouraged their daughters in school.
Then, four years ago, Sabi suffered a catastrophic stroke and died. It was a sudden and shocking loss for the family. Alphonsa was left as the sole provider. In addition to food and fundamental necessities, Alphonsa is also responsible for paying off a construction loan she and Sabi had on their home. Alphonsa can’t make these payments on her small income, so the loan balance has continued to climb.
Despite the emotional and financial strain of Sabi’s death, Alphonsa encouraged her daughters to continue in school. Both girls have been hard-working students. The oldest, Jessy, is 18 and now studying for a nursing degree. While the cost of a college degree is staggering for a poor Indian family, the degree will allow Jessy to support herself and her family in the future. Until then, the family lives in poverty. Alphonsa struggles to provide the girls with the most basic essentials. A sponsor for this family could help ensure that both girls can finish their educations and that this hard-working mother can finally see the fruits of her years of hard work.
