The home they were living was the family home. The tsunami washed away their home. Then they were given a new house of two rooms. But there are also her sister and her family also living in this small house. She also expecting baby and then there will be the space more limited. Soon Sujeewa has to find a separate place for her.

Other details:

Sujeewa’s mother is living with them too. She also has to look after her mother. Both Mother and Sujeewa are suffering from Asthma. Mother is suffering lot and she needs medicine regularly. But Sujeewa takes medicine only when she seriously needed.

The special reason why this family should be helped:

Her second son Pubudu is having a critical heart trouble.

A vain has become thin and the pounding rate has risen. The Doctors have instructed to keep the child in rest and to produce to a specialist doctor in two years time for an Eco test to see the seriousness of the condition and to decide whether an operation is needed. This boy also suffers of losing memory or difficulty of understanding the instructions given to him. He is abnormal and there has nothing done so far for this situation. His mother has to be behind him at his school work all the times. TCR is trying to follow up this case for further investigations

Also her daughter Naweenaplay Here has a hole in the heart.

Once in a time she gets pain in her chest. But it does not affect her daily life much. The doctors have prescribed her an operation in two Years. She goes to the hospital and checks her chest once a month or so.

Here is Naweena helping mother to clean the home. She is always helpful to her Mother at home work.

This is her medical report issued by local Hospital Tangalle.
