Samiksha is 10 yers old and had lost several members of her family to Covid including her brother, aunt and grandmother. Her mother, Laxmi was gravely ill with a heart condition and needed an operation to save her life. Samiksha's father was poor and had no money so he sold his land where he grew vegetables, and neighbours contributed what they could afford. Still there was not enough rupees to pay for the operation and Samiksha was unconsolable knowing how ill her mother was and that without the operation she would die. The Nestling Trust heard of the situation and how many local people had each given money while so poor themselves and stepped in to try to ensure the story has a happy ending.
Laxmi had the operation, following which, she was in intensive care for a worrying few days. TNT are delighted to say that she has now made a full recovery and is reunited with her daughter at home again.
