Joining Together to Ease A CoWorker's Painful Burden


--by rakindia, posted May 18, 2018
All of the employees in my company helped to raise money for a girl who worked as a front office associate in a competing company. .A few weeks ago she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

She is from an economically weaker family; she lost her father while she was studying in 6th Std; she is the single parent of a 3-year-old daughter and there is no one to look after her kid. Being the sole bread-earner, it is very difficult for her family to handle the expenses of her treatment. Her monthly income only amounts up to INR.12000.($200) and her treatment cost is approximately INR.10, 00,000 ($ 16000).

When we came to know of her diagnosis, we wanted to help our fellow hotelier, so we took this to the top level management and to our HR Department and we decided to contribute from all the employee’s salaries.  The employees from her company had  each paid  2 days salary for her medical expenses, and many philanthropists had generously donated for her treatment. From our hotel, we have raised about INR. 80000 ($ 1333 approx.) for her post-operative care expenses.

Now she is back from the hospital and her heath is getting better day by day. Today we went to meet her at home and to handover the fund raised for her treatment. She was very thankful to all the people who generously helped for her medical treatment.
