Dear donors,
Your kindness means the world to us. Caring for the 70+ special children is both a joy and a challenge. There are days I struggle to arrange even the basics, relying on shopkeepers to lend us groceries just to get by. While donations come in during festivals or special occasions, the quieter days are the hardest.
But now, because of your support, we can finally breathe a little easier. Our first delivery of essential items is on its way, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I promise to keep you updated every step of the way.
Thank you for standing with us. Your support brings hope, and that hope keeps us going.
Regards,
Anil Singh, Founder
