Relief in times of Distress

 I Glory Christina, just about 10 months back we were a happy family. My husband was a Painter by profession and earning quiet good. He got cheated in his businessand committed suicide. The sudden demise of him left us nowhere. My elder daughter is studying in 2^nd Std in another private School and my younger daughter was just about 3 yrs .  After the death of my husband, I couldn’t afford the education of one daughter, then how would I afford to educate the younger one. I had left all the hope of educating younger one.

when  I heard that HOPE foundation School in Kannginagar provides free English Medium Education my happiness had no limits. I rushed to the school to know more about the norms and conditions. After completing the required formalities I was assured that I would get an admission for my daughter and that I had to pay no money. My daughter Reana is in Pre KG and I am very happy that her future is secured…. I thank HOPE School and God for giving me RELIEF IN THE TIME OF DISTRESS
