And one day when she was travelling her co passenger met an accidental death and orphan boy was taken by her and got him admitted into an orphanage but the due to the negligence of the ashram died of ill treatment and it disrtubbed her a lot.
She also served as an helper to a bed ridden old man but when he also expired and when her husband also expired at an young age she started this ashram and found solace in serving these children.
The ashram which started with four children is now is a home for seventeen children. When she narrated her story ASWA volunteers hearts melt and her sacrifices for the children were applauded with not only hands but with hearts and eyes with mist.
