Community Helps Family with a Newborn Baby

While Janani (not her real name) delivered her baby at the public hospital, she was found to be infected with COVID-19. She was then kept in isolation while her husband was unable to see her and their newborn for two weeks.

Janani and her child were discharged from the hospital after four weeks. However, due to the medical expenses, all their savings were depleted. When they returned to their rented room, they neither had money nor any food left. They had not received any support from their family and relatives as well, and her husband lost his job after the lockdown started.

Both Janani and her husband are avid listeners of 3 Angels Community Radio programs. They then called 3ACR during the live programs to share their problems and ask for help.

When the 3ACR team came to their apartment together with one of the listeners who also volunteered to help, they were surprised to see several other listeners already in Janani’s place reaching out to them to provide food supplies, clothes for the newborn, and more.

The team learned that these listeners were also able to reach out to other people before, after hearing about their problems through 3ACR programs. These local listeners did not want to be publicized but only desired to help those in need.

We are continually amazed that 3ACR is causing a rippling effect of compassion within the community and among its listeners.
