Narendra Modi just did the sweetest thing for this Kanpur family

Back in January, Kanpur residents-13-year-old Sushant Mishra and his eight-year-old brother Tanmay Mishra wrote to the Prime Minister requesting for his help. As it turns out, their 50-year-old father Saroj Mishra, a tailor by profession, has been suffering from a long-standing asthmatic condition since the past two years.

However in the last six months, his health started deteriorating and as a result he couldn’t work any longer.

Bundled by financial constraints, his two sons decided to seek the country’s most powerful man’s help and ended up writing a letter to none other than Narendra Modi to help with medical assistance.

The letter sent by the brother reads, “We are Sushant Mishra and Tanmay Mishra, sons of Saroj Mishra whose profession is that of a tailor. Our father is in critical condition. So far, some of my relatives and fellow classmates’ parents have helped us with our father’s medical treatment. But now almost all sources of financial help have stopped supporting us.”

And, as luck would have it, the Prime Minister’s office not only replied to their letter in less than a month but also offered medical assistance free of cost at their district hospital.

The reply sent by the PMO reads, “We received your letter addressed to the Prime Minister of India. Rest assured that the concerned authorities at the Ursula Hospital, Kanpur will provide your father with the medical attention he requires.”

Kanpur’s District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma also replied to their letter stating that their father be taken Ursula Horsman Memorial District Hospital so that his treatment could be started immediately.

While talking to Indian Express, Saroj Mishra said, “After my condition deteriorated six months ago, I stopped going for work. The money we had was spent on my treatment. Initially, our relatives and neighbours helped but for last five months they too have not been in a position to help us. We borrowed money from a money lender for my treatment,” adding that he could not deposit school fee of his sons for last few months and has not paid the rent of the houses.

Well, we hope Mishra speedy recovery and all our best wishes are with the family.
