Meet BhaiyaJi! A 76-year-old man who worked as a rickshaw puller till last year.BhaiyaJi has been a very special part of not just my family's life but of a lot of my friend's and neighbor's families as well. Being from a small town, a monthly rickshaw service was one of the mainstream means through which students used to go to school. I and my brother went to our school for 12 years in Bhaiysji's rickshaw, from Nursery till Class 10th. He was a trusted person in many families including mine in our colony and almost every family once took his service to send their kids to school. He took care of us like his own kids and scolded us numerous times in front of the whole school with the utmost authority. This is just one of many such memories associated with the years of relationship we have had with BhaiyaJi and his family.

Pulling a rickshaw with 8 kids on board is not an easy task for a 60+ y/o man, but he did not have an option to retire in his old age. He had a family to support when his only son turned out to be an alcoholic. We never ever heard him utter a single word to complain about his condition. He did his job with the utmost hard work and sincerity. However, now with age, his diseases have gotten the best of him. He worked with dignity till the age of 75. He and all his family members are out of jobs due to COVID-19 and their expenses are only increasing.

Details of his expenses are-
Medical expense (only BhaiyaJi) - 3000 per month
Food and other expenses (BhaiyaJi and family)- 5000 per month (considering bare minimum things)

Please help BhaiyaJi and his family to sustain themselves for a year.
I and my family have helped him with woolen clothes, blankets, food supplies, and 3000 cash. I am also reaching out to our neighbors and friends, who have known him personally for years.
