We are all going through unprecedented times. Even for the most optimistic person, there are moments that leave the spirit totally deflated. Yet, through the thick dark clouds, a wiry silver lining does makes an appearance to guide us on. (1/N)
Yesterday morning I received a call from Mrs.Sudha Kale a 85yr old elderly lady who was eager to do her bit to fight this grave pandemic and donate Rs.1,00,000/- to PM @narendramodi ji’s ( #PMCARES ) Fund, however she was unable to leave her house due to the lock-down. (2/N)
Mrs.Kale requested if it would be possible for someone from my team to collect the cheque. Even at the age of 85 her compassion and devotion towards a national cause left me deeply inspired, and I told her that it would be collecting the cheque myself, it would be my honour (3/N)
On meeting her, she shared that her late husband Shrinivas Kale ji had once expressed his wish to contribute towards the welfare of Nation, and that she was contributing Rs.1 Lakh to #PMCares to honor his wish and in the memory of Late Shivgauri Kale. (4/N)
This experience, her desire to help the country at her age has filled me with renewed hope & energy for our collective mission. If an 85 yr old can do their bit & inspire positivity so can I, so can we. Somewhere deep inside, I now believe that together we will win this war (5/N)
I salute the millions of Indians who have donated to #PMCARES , contributed in their own way to other funds & NGOs that are committed and focused towards defeating this deadly virus that threatens to tear the entire world apart. You #Inspire Us. (6/6)
