Remarks: The parents of Geetika Priya have two children. Geetika has one elder sister. Both her parents work as a laborer on daily wage basis. They used to derive Rs. 100/- (US $ 2.5) each for their work. This meager income is quite insufficient to meet all their basic needs. In 2008 the girl’s mother was attacked by Jaundice and her condition became critical due to change in color of the blood. She died suddenly and the husband got upset due to this quick development. The burden of supporting the two little orphan girls fell on the maternal grandmother. They were burdened to care these girls because of ageing and also critical financial condition. The father was not in a position to care for them due to improper mental condition.

Remarks: Bhanusri is one of the

brother was born to their illiterate parents. The parents supported the family
by working as farm laborers. Their income was too less to support the family
with all the physical needs. They could
not send the children to school and get them educated. When Bhanusri’s father
was returning from work he developed chest pain and reached home in critical
condition. Before his wife could come, he breathed last. This caused the family
to lose the helping hand and the burden of supporting the family fell on this widowed
lady. She struggled a lot to support all the three mouths with basic needs.

Vijayawada as her another granddaughter is already staying in the home. She is now happy and attending the school

Remarks
– Priyanka is the only daughter of her parents. Her father supported the
family by working as a farm laborer. Because of the meager income he did not
meet all the basic needs of the family. He has no support from his parents as
he lost the father at a young age. The parents of the woman have five children,
out of which she is the second daughter. The father of this woman worked as a
farm laborer and with great difficulty he arranged for their marriages and he
has nothing left to support the parents of Priyanka. One day Priyanka’s father
developed Pyrexia and got admitted into a Government hospital. During the
course of investigation, he was diagnosed to have both kidneys failed. He was
declared unfit for survival. He was shifted to corporate hospital and this did
not show any improvement. His condition worsened and finally the man succumbed
to the disease.
The family lost the earning hand and the
burden of supporting the lone daughter fell on this widowed mother. She started
to work as a daily laborer to support herself and the only daughter. This did
not go for a longer time as her little income could not help the woman to send
her daughter to school. She sought for an alternate source to keep her daughter
and send to school. She came to know of Maranatha Children Home that supports
poor, needy and orphaned children through a pastor in Maranatha Fellowship and
approached us. We took the mother and daughter into our care. The mother is
appointed as a cook in our Bible school and the girl is going to school along
with other children. She is now happy as all the basic needs of life are met.
She is growing in an environment that is conducive to her physical, mental and
spiritual growth. Your support for this needy girl is appreciated. Thank you
and God bless you.

ministry.
The man came to know about Maranatha
Children Home at Vijayawada in a gospel meeting and came forward and explained
his situation about his family. He was expecting admission for Swarna and
seeing his pathetic condition, the girl was given admission. Swarna is happy here as she is enjoying the
