Pls help this poor old lady who's forced 2 work in her 80s

"Shila Ghosh" : A lady 83 years old who lives at pali in West Bengal. Every evening she comes from Pali to

kolkata to sell the fries.The pedestrians out of respect buy the fries from her.

After lung cancer took away her only son from her 5 years back,to make ends meet she

works.Her nephew aged 30 works

as a mover on meagre wages in pali.

When asked if she has a problem in travelling,she weakly smile ans says “No,the bus gets me here and my health is not

that bad”.

She earns 400 rupees per day but still it is less for her family of four.Circumstances could have easily

forced her to beg but

her dignity and respect is everything for her,

she would work till the end of her life rather than beg on the streets.

When we go on complaining she has chose to solve her problems on her own for as they say God helps them those who

help themselves.

She is a determined women and deserves our respect..
