Kerala Flood Relief and Rebuild Efforts - Smt Ajithakumari V G (FR11)

"Manava Seva Madhava Seva"

Dear NSSONA Family Members,

Hoping that everybody had a relaxing long weekend with family. Wanted to share yet another project we successfully completed in Thrissur district for Smt Ajithakumari V G and family. 

Smt Ajithakumari lost her husband a year and a half ago to a fatal heart attack. They are stretched for any income after her husband's death as she lives with her son, Anandhu, a class XII student and her 85 year old mother. As part of the Kerala floods that affected the Thrissur district area, Smt Ajithakumar's house was severly struck with the floods causing damages to their bathroom and septic tank which was situated outside their house. 

Smt Ajithakumar's mother used to walk with a chair for support from their home to the toilet outside. 

NSSONA Charity team worked with the local NSS Karayogam from Kuttumukku, Thrissur and thereby identified a small space in their current house towards building a small bathroom for them while helping with repairs of the septic tank.

Thank you for your continued support. We welcome your feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to reach us at nssonacharity@gmail.com

Regards,
NSSONA Charity Team.

Dear NSSONA Family Members,

Hope all of you had a festive Vishu with family and friends.We wanted to share with everybody that all our collective efforts have also brightened up the Vishu for Smt Beena Nair along with her daughter and her mom. Smt Beena and family hail from Veeyapuram and their house had undergone severe damage especially their kitchen area during the floods that ripped apart Kerala. Smt Beena with her daughter, mother and grand mother faces hardships in surviving on a daily basis. Soon after the floods Smt Beena's grand mother passed away.

                     
                           

 We worked through with our local NSS Karayogam leads in Veeyapurm towards reconstructing the kitchen for Smt Beena and family.

                                     

Smt Beena  and her family successfully completed the "paalu kaachal" ceremony on April 15th 2019. We thank our entire community who rallied up for these efforts. Besides a special thanks to Shreepriya Menon, NSS of Minnesota and Rajaneesh Nair from NSS Karayogam, Veeyapuram.

We once again wish everyone a happy Vishu and look forward to keeping you updated in regards to our upcoming projects. Thanks for being a strong force and making a difference to our larger community.

Kerala Flood Relief and Rebuild Efforts - Thampi and Vimala (FR12)

"Manava Seva Madhava Seva"

Dear NSSONA Family Members

Here is another project that we completed in Anapuzha, Thrissur district. As part of our continued flood relief work, we have successfully completed the repair of  Mr Thampi & Mrs Vimala’s home.

Their house was completely submerged in water up to the roof. Everything inside their home was destroyed including entire furniture, utensils and clothes and the house was left inhabitable. Mr.Thampi was a fisherman and the sole bread winner of the family until an accident left him disabled a year ago. He is severely injured to this day with dislocated bones which restricts his movements.

Currently the family has no reliable source of income. Mrs Vimala also suffers from health issues. The family is in severe financial crisis and is struggling to pay off the loan that was taken to build the house. MrThampi (67) and Mrs Vimala (54) have two daughters.

Thanks to our committed NSSONA community for helping Mr Thampi and family. Our continued efforts have enabled them move back to a livable home. A big shout to all our family members who have wholeheartedly supported this initiative and pledged with our NSSONA Charity Team to make a difference back home.

Regards,
NSSONA Charity Team
