Meet Raman Ayya, an 81-year-old man living alone in Kovalam, Chennai. Without a wife or the support of his son and daughter, he is struggling to survive each day on his own.

Despite his age and poor health, Raman Ayya continues to work to earn a living. He makes and sells traditional coconut-leaf brooms (thennai mattai thodappam) to people, earning just ₹30–₹40 a day. This small income is barely enough to meet his basic needs.

He deserves more than a life of hardship. He deserves safety, care and the comfort of knowing that someone cares.

Small Acts of Kindness Can Make a Difference

Many of us spend money on weekend outings, hotels, cinema tickets, holidays, trips and electronic gadgets. These little comforts bring us happiness. But for Raman Ayya, even a small contribution could mean food on his plate, medicine when he is sick and a safer place to rest.

How Your Support Can Help

Can we come together to support Raman Ayya for the next 6–12 months? Your contribution can help provide essential support based on his needs and the campaign’s available resources.

Safer shelter improvements
Nutritious food and daily necessities
Medical assistance and medicines

Together, we can ease his struggles and help him live the rest of his life with greater safety, dignity and peace.
