The 2 boys in the photo are Jone (12) & Jaison (7), along with their mother, Nagendramma. This poor mother was married to a man or older boy when she was only 11 or 12 yrs old. She was not able to have a baby, but after being married 22 years had Jone. Then little Jaison came along 5 years later. PTL! Her husband was an alcoholic, beating his wife. One time he fell, hit his head and got paralysis. Some time later, he again fell, but this time died (October of last year). A few years ago he had taken large loans to build a nice house. Before his paralysis, with both husband & wife working, they were paying them back. After his death, she fell into depression and hopelessness, and hasn’t paid anything on the loans. Not sure we can do anything about her loans (about $4,500), but we’re helping with food, the boys’ education and whatever other needs this family has at this time.
