Description

Family members:
Parvathamma Matsa, 54 years
Venkata Kalshmi Matsa, 5 years, granddaughter
Vijay Matsa, 3 years, grandson
Sanyasi Naidu Matsa, 64 years, husband

Andhra Region

Parvathamma Matsa is a poor sickly aged lady. Her husband, Sanyasi Naidu, is also unable to go for any work.  Their only daughter, Chinnari, passed away three years ago from a massive heart attack. Her husband, a drug addict, had abandoned her so Parvathamma and Sanyasi were faced with raising their two small grandchildren.

The family struggles to put food on the table as it is very difficult to find a regular odd job in their village. Seasonal works are available but where no one prefers the aged for the work. The family lives in a semi permanent hut, electrified as per village system. Public water is available adjacent to their house. It is a daily struggle to raise two small children in these conditions.

Parvathamma and Sanyasi will be ever grateful if any one willingly comes forward to give a helping hand. They could start rearing goats and chicken and enjoy the rare privileges offered by the FFA to meet the daily needs of these innocent children. They could recoup their health and give their grandchildren a more nourishing home.  Any help given to them will be greatly appreciated. May God bless the kind benefactor!
