Mangalore, 05 Sep 2012: A well known social worker Mr. Peter D’Souza (who was also a close friend of KCWA member Late Mr. Johny Surathkal) contacted one of the Committee members of Konkan Overseas Returnees Welfare Association (KORWA) Mangalore (Mrs. Jessy Pinto) and reported the ill health and financial problems of Lavina D’Souza a young helpless girl of 21 years from Surathkal suffering from a brain tumor.

 

Jessy Pinto felt that some help has to be extended to this needy patient and therefore, the KORWA President and some members came forward and hand-delivered a cheque worth of RS.17,500/- towards Lavina’s treatment and also assured their prayers and helping hand to her.

 

Lavina has no parents. She has only one younger brother who is studying in IV Standard at Surathkal. So she said she is fully depending on well-wishers and Social Workers. Whoever come forward to help she will always remain grateful to them and she will keep them in her prayers she said.
