Watching news channels and struggle of these people have inspired me to help migrant labourers in reaching home. They have contributed so much in society and it is our responsibility to help them in this crisis. I had collected 48,530 from my pocket money and I used it to help these three people out of which one is a cancer patient.

1. To have so much of savings at that age.
2. To have such a big heart.
3. How citizens across the land have acted on behalf of migrant labourers.
The girl’s mother encouraged her work and even helped her get in touch with the people necessary so she could help the migrant labourers who were trying to get back home.
