Dear supporters,
We are using a part of the funds towards expenses related to an acid attack survivor Renu's upcoming treatment. As she is blind, her family wants to consult a few doctors around India which include Chennai and Dehradun. She is also facing issues with her menstrual cycle that is causing her discomfort. The funds will also be utilised for her medication.
As we do not require the funds for our center at the moment, we are choosing to allocate them to a survivor who is in need of treatment for a few things. Our centre works to rehabilitate the survivors and we would like to allocate the funds for Renu. The funds will really help her in this time of need. In due time as the funds are utilized, we will provide receipts for the same as we receive them from the survivor. You can read more about her story below
Born on the 21st of May 1986, Renu belongs to a lower middle-class family from the outskirts of Delhi. Losing her mother at the age of 13, led Renu to drop out of school and become in charge of the household work, as well as look after younger brother and sister. Their source of income came solely from the minimum wage the father earned and from the tenant living in their house.
The tenant living in their house became the family’s worst nightmare in a matter of seconds. After a few months of not receiving the rent, Renu’s father gave him an ultimatum, which the occupant portrayed to accept. On the 15th of February 2006, the frustration of not receiving the payment led to the father asking the tenant to vacate his room, to which he agreed with no hesitation leaving the family to believe the matter had been resolved. While Renu was washing the Bulls, the ex-tenant stood silently behind her with a mug in his hand to which she thought he wanted water as the motor was running. After asking him repeatedly if he wanted water, she received no response, finally, when she turned around towards him he threw acid on her.
This act of violence led the 20-year-old to be blinded in both eyes, deaf from one ear and left most of her body disfigured.
