He Has a Name


The little boy I wrote about in the last story is named Indra. He is four years old. He was abandoned by his parents and his aunt is now raising him. He is always in her arms. He has a hole in his heart and needs surgery for PDA.

He is in a difficult time as his future is in question. He cannot run and play like the other children in the camp where he and his aunt are living. The camp they live in is depressing and not a good place to live. Indra's aunt does not have a husband or children. He is her sunshine and needs to get his heart repaired soon.

So far we have raised half of what he needs for his surgery. He needs another $ 1,000 to cover the rest of the costs. We are trying to give him a normal life.
