Fatima's story
I just read the article "Creeping towards disability...." on the online edition of DS. Naturally I was very shocked after seeing the picture of poor Fatima. Is there nothing we can do to help her? Creating funds for her through your paper & other sister concerns (The same you did for Amit)? Is it possible to send her to neighbouring countries (like India, Thailand or Singapore) for treatment? I have heard, there are lots of charitable organisations (i.e. different Christian charities). Can't they be contacted? How can people like me help in this cause, if we want to?
I am in the PhD program in Carnegie Mellon University. As a student, I don't have much means to help this poor little girl financially even though I really want to. But I will be more than happy to contribute something and assist any initiative to rehabilitate or cure this unfortunate soul. It's our disgrace as a society that we are letting people go free after committing such hideous crime & it's also our responsibility to stand beside Fatima.
I thank you and your staffs for printing such true stories in the newspaper & really hope, together we can do something for our little Fatima.
