Lakshmi is a physically challenged girl, victim of polio. At the age of one and half years, she was affected by polio, unfortunately both her lower limbs are paralysed. She walks with crutches. All through her life she lived in various institutions, completed her plus two studies, after that she has no place to go because she is an orphan, now she is an inmate of Premavasam. Mr Selvyn of Premavasam has secured an admission for her for BCom at St Joseph's Arts and Science college. HM has decided to help Lakshmi with Rs. 11500 towards her college fees and will be handing over the same today.

HM Request for Ramya

Ramya is doing second year B.Com at Valliammal College for Women at Villivakkam. Her father was in coma state for few years and died in 1999 due to heart attack. Her family is struggling as only her mother is the only earning person, that too a flower seller. One younger brother is studying in 8th standard.

Ramya had scored 75% in twelveth. As Ramya was not having much awareness once she completed schooling, she didn't apply for any college. She has applied to Valliammal College only at the last moment that too with the guidance from some people. She has joined Valliammal with the help from few people and completed first year. The fees for this year is Rs. 7000 (BCom II year). She has scored 60% in the first year. She was from tamil medium school so had struggled to score well in first year. She hopes to score better in the coming years. Helping Minds has paid the fees for Ramya for this year on 23-May-07.
