Mangaluru: Distressed wife with two kids calls for financial help after husband succumbs to COVID
Mangaluru: A family in Belthangady is in dire need of financial aid after the lone bread earner of the family recently passed away earlier last month.
Abdul Hameed, a resident of Indabettu village in Belthangady Taluk passed away on July 20, this year. His death has pushed the family on the verge of financial helplessness.
Abdul Hameed married his wife Khatijatul Kubra about 15 years ago and the couple has one daughter and a son. Both their kids study in school. Hameed was an auto-rickshaw driver and had availed a loan from the bank to construct his house. Hameed fell sick when the construction was underway but managed to finish the construction with difficulty.
Hameed was undergoing treatment for an infection in his leg for the last 10 years and recently contracted COVID-19 after which he breathed his last on July 20.
“After the death of my husband our financial situation worsened and I along with our two kids tested positive for COVID-19. Our relatives and my brothers helped us as much as they could. The state of my health is still a concern as I have not recovered completely. And I don’t have money for my treatment.
“People are now calling us for the recovery of loan my husband availed. And I am unable to figure out how to fix the situation. Both my kids study at school and we don’t have any other source of income. We are already in debt that we availed for the construction of house and the medical bills. I request kind-hearted people to come forward and help us” Khatijatul Kubra said.
