Homes no longer look like what they were earlier. The flood has taken away the coziness that brought families together. Our team visited this family in Ratta village, Gurdaspur district. Their home was in shambles. Everything was wet, their roof was leaking, and they had no place to sleep. We gave them relief kits and a tarp to fix the roof. Trauma from the flood was writ large on the couple’s faces. Their disheveled appearance reflected the chaos of their home and told us volumes about how hard the past few days had been for them. It will take a long time to heal their spirit, courage and to give them hope. What can be achieved earlier is the repair of their home.
Help us put the physical pieces back together first so that they make way for emotional and spiritual healing.
