A well-wisher Mrs Yaso Thirukumar donated her 60th birthday gifts to Lotus Caring Hands in support of Iniya Valvu Illam. The funding was channelled to deliver three braille machines to the home.

Visit to the home in summer 2018, our trustee identified their requirement for additional braille machines. Our trustee Mr S Jehan discussed this with the prospective donor and Mrs Thirukumar was very keen to support it and instructed all her friends and families to make gift to support this project. With a help of Gift aid the donation soon sized to afford for three braille machines.

The machines were taken by her son Mr Vibushan Thirukumar from UK to the home on their own expense and handed to the manager of the home Mr Sabaratnam Thiruchselvam.

It is great example how an individual could help to make a difference to those needed.
