Bano
Widow
of: Ab Ahad Dar.
Resident
of: Narkara Budgam.
Parveena Bano is living a miserable
life with her 05 members of the family. Her husband was a labour by profession
and somehow was able to feed his family which consists of 06 members including
him. The income of the family is very low as there is no one in the family who
is able to earn. The expenses are higher than the income. On few occasions the
local community is providing some cash which is not even long lasting for a
week. Parveena Bano is supporting her family by doing odd jobs like cleaning of
houses, utensils etc. of people.
Story in her
own words:
We were living a difficult life
already, but it got worse when my husband died leaving behind 05 members of the
family. We have no source of income as my children were very young. We are
totally dependent on our relatives and the local community. Recently I was
detected Covid positive, but I don’t have money to purchase medicines for
myself.
An application of the family was received by HET office on 30-04-2021. The
application was signed by a member of the local community of the village which
was confirming the miserable condition of the family. HET officials verified
the case by visiting the village and then a cheque was issued to the family
under emergency medical support. Also 02 children of the family were linked to
an organisation for a monthly educational scholarship program. The children
were sponsored by the organisation on the reference of HET.
