This is a story about my friend late Mr. Prasad Jog (Age 39) and his family.  We were shocked and heartbroken when we heard the news of 4 Covid victims of the same family which includes Prasad(Age 39), his parents Father (Age 71), Mother (Age 70) and his elder brother(Age 42). This all happened in the span of a few weeks.  Both brothers have left behind their respective families with kids and non-working wives.
Prasad’s mother and father ended their fight with COVID in hospital on 28-APR-2021 and 30-APR-2021  respectively. Prasad was admitted to hospital on 01-MAY-2021 and we all were hoping that he would make it home as he was always a fighter. But he failed to make a comeback even after his friends put lots of effort into arranging plasma donors, medications, proper hospitalization for his recovery and lost his life on 12-MAY-2021. Prasad has left behind his non-working wife and two kids. His brother and his wife also got admitted to hospital . We were wishing for no more bad news again. However, his brother also lost his life to Covid on 19-MAY-2021.
Prasad and his brother were the only breadwinners of their family and they were running a business together. During the pandemic, their business wasn’t doing well and they had to take huge loans to keep the business running. Their current house is also on mortgage. For their wives and kids, it's a very critical situation with no money at all. Their survival has become difficult. With Covid, everything has turned upside down for the Jog family.
I am posting this to raise funds to support their family's survival, covering basic expenses, kid’s education until their wives pull themselves together and find work.
Your support and kindness is greatly appreciated. Stay safe and blessed.
My sincere gratitude and thanks to all of you for your support and generosity.
