We Were Going Home

It was before dawn,
Mum’s eyes sparkled with joy even in the grimmest of times.
She assured us everything will be better.
We were going home
It was midnight,
We walked for 18 hours, all the pain was worth it.
She still believed everything will be better.
We were going home.
The last time I saw her,
She kept her cold hands on my cheeks
She still believed we were going to be better because
We were going home.
She took her last breath,
While I slept, to wake for another journey
I believe not everything will be better because
She was our home.

Not all the migrant workers can make their way back home
These people suffer from various diseases already, which
cannot be looked after due to low income and improper medication
There are cases where their health conditions worsen on the way, after walking for hours without food and water
in these canicular days.
They walk the last journeys of their lives.
They might rise above and beyond all
human sufferings but their children are
left behind in misery.
Philanthropy is unconditional
It comes from deep inside our heart.
and the impact it leaves on these children
gives us eternal joy and peace.
Any amount of donation helps to
transform the lives of these innocent children.
