Life is not easy for anyone, and for a few like Paramjeet Kaur, every day is a struggle. She lost her husband and her father a few years ago. A widow, she somehow managed to make ends meet for her children—two boys and a girl—and herself. Then the floods happened. The house that she called home, her sanctuary, which gave her and her family hope amidst life’s tribulations, was badly damaged in the floods. When our team met her, she was picking up her children’s books and putting them out to dry, even as her eyes remained wet with tears that just refused to stop. “I lost everything that I had purchased with so much difficulty and hard work—fridge, TV, inverter. The roof is leaking. How will I put everything back together? I don’t have a husband, father, or brother.” The relief packets that we gave Paramjeet will help her and her kids for the moment. But we are more focused and concerned about her long-term rehabilitation. Repairing her home, the school for her kids, and helping her get a sustainable source of income.
