“Before the acid attack I was a makeup artist. But after the attack, no one was ready to hire me. I ran out of choices and decided to work as a maid. But people said, ‘we can’t give you any work. Our children will get scared of you.’ Are we so bad that we can’t work? Are we so bad that we can’t mingle with society?"- Daulat.
"My house was sold for the treatment. How would we survive, how would I feed my sisters and get them treated, how do I feed my children, because I saw them starve for 2 days. There was a mosque nearby, and I sat there to beg, so that there was at least some money to feed my family. I felt really bad. A hand that was used to do makeup for people, was now begging for money."
“We need your support to get land. Our store rent itself is Rs.50,000, we don’t even make so much income. Other expenses such as the cost of victims' salaries, maintenance, and to restore materials for the store also are incurred. If we have our own place then that rent money can be instead used for a victim’s surgery. 5-6 survivors can sustain their household. With your support, we will be able to help more victims in need. We are still a small shop and there is only so much we can do to help.”
“Our disfigured face has caused people to not give us jobs nor homes to live in. With a shelter home, survivors can live freely and recuperate quickly. I also aim to start a hospital where surgeries can happen on time and save countless lives of acid attacks.”
