Fundraiser Ended! This fundraiser ended on May 29, 2021
Faisal Hussain, an 18-year old vegetable seller from Uttar Pradesh, succumbed on May 20th after police officers beat him up. He was allegedly selling vegetables outside his house after the curfew timings & was thrashed by policemen for having done so. He was taken to a community health centre, where the doctor said he was in a serious condition. He referred him to another hospital, but he succumbed even before he could be taken there.
The boy's family is distraught & inconsolable. They have not only lost their dear son but also their only breadwinner. His mother is in her 50s & has lost sight in one eye. His father is in poor health & his 22-year-old brother suffers from mental & physical disabilities. The family is struggling to make ends meet after Faisal's passing as there is no one to take care of them now. They need our support during this difficult time.
