CARRIED AWAY

What do you do when you can find no way forward? When you see no answers? Try carrying someone else. 

Desraj is a rickshaw driver in India. A year or so ago, he lost both sons – & in their culture, he was now responsible for raising the grandkids & caring for his 2 daughters-in-law. As his oldest granddaughter was getting close to graduating, she wanted to go to college – but didn’t see anyway for that to happen. 

So Desraj sold his house & sent his whole family to live with relatives, while he stayed back & lived in rickshaw – for an entire year – just to pay her fees for school. 

When his friends in a FB group got wind of this, they went to work – donating enough money to buy a house for Desraj & his whole family – close to where his granddaughter goes to school, so they can all be together.    You can read more of the story HERE.
