Mary Margaret and Francis are a poor couple having four little children. The head of the family, Francis, was a healthy hardworking auto rickshaw driver who cared well for his family. In October 2021 he had a severe stroke and is now partially paralyzed and can no longer work. His face was disfigured; he lost the ability to hold anything and cannot even walk properly. Now he is under strict medication.

The family, which was leading a contented life, was thrown into the deep pit of misery and starvation. While the community helped with his immediate medication needs, now the family is struggling for their daily survival and Francis’s further treatment is a mere dream for them.

Mary goes for some odd jobs available in the locality. Their elder son is studying in the 6th grade, daughters are studying in the 4th and 2nd grades respectively and the younger son is attending the local kindergarten to learn alphabets.

Francis is in great distress as he can no longer care for his loving family. With the meager earnings of Mary, the couple struggles to feed their children and pay for their educational needs. If this pathetic condition continues these poor children will lose the chance for a bright future. The help of a sponsor would give them a very needed steady source of income so their children could continue in school, well nourished.
