Tulsi Mandiya, a resident of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India, is a dedicated domestic worker. Akin many low income workers, she and her family too have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides work and income challenges, she is also grieving the loss of her loved ones. Tulsi's brother, husband, and son-in-law, all succumbed to the virus. Therefore, Tulsi and her daughter are now left to their own devices.
At the risk of sounding crass, it is important that we bear in mind that having family members succumb to COVID-19 typically incurs the family a huge expenditure, as is the case with Tulsi, too. Tulsi is 58 years old, and as a consequence of aging, is now in urgent need of undergoing a cataract surgery. As one can imagine, this is nearly impossible for her, given her financial adversities. At the same time, it is extremely important that she get her eyesight corrected, given that it would impede her ability to work; thereby, further worsening her circumstances.
This campaign is an attempt to raise funds for Tulsi's medical treatment, alongside additional requisite medication.
The breakdown of expenses is as follows:
Cataract surgery: 40,000₹/-
Other expenses (including medication, aftercare, etc.): 10,000₹/-
Kindly donate whatever amount is feasible. Every bit counts. If you are not in a position to contribute financially, you could still contribute by helping us spread the word, and, in turn, spread some joy.
