My name is Poongnkodi, a 30-year-old from Erode district. Life took a difficult turn when my husband, once a daily wager, was struck by a psychological illness, leaving him unconscious and unable to work. With two children and the burden of medical expenses, my daily income was barely enough to keep us afloat. In this desperate time, READ organization came into my life, providing the financial support I needed to buy a stitching machine. This generous assistance has enabled me to earn a stable income, care for my husband, and ensure my children’s education. I am deeply grateful to READ for illuminating our path during the darkest times.
