In an act of generosity, the Kiyam Siphai Wangmataba Development Association Amureijam Leikai extended financial aid to a widow Thounaojam (o) Pakpi of Kiyam Siphai Wangmataba Amureijam Leikai in Thoubal district, who has been living in a poor condition.
Speaking on the occasion, the secy of the association Thongam Naoba expressed that Th Pakpi's husband passed away due to renal dysfunction, leaving behind a son who was only 6 then.
Since then, Pakpi had supported the family by weaving clothes, he stated.
Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with last stage lung cancer and the family is in a bad shape.
Her young son had to quit school and has started working as a construction labourer.
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown situation has made matters worse for this family, Naoba maintained.
With the intent of helping the family, especially the young boy, the association provided financial assistance to them.
Naoba also appealed to the State Government to look into the matter and provide help to the unfortunate family.
