Read here about how strangers came forward to help the needy.....

Six months after their mother, a passer-by, was killed in a shootout between two gangs on a busy road in North Delhi’s Sant Nagar, the ailing father of Shruti Sharma, 15, and her brother Dheeraj, 14, lost his battle with chronic asthma but thanks to the generosity of strangers, the future of the two children looks secure (and their father wasn’t deprived of medical care in his last days).

Sangeeta Sharma, 37, a factory worker, the sole earning member of her family, was shot dead on June 18 and the impoverished family did not even have money to move her body from the hospital to the crematorium. Her husband, Surender Sharma, was concerned that with his days, too, numbered, their two children would end up in a life of crime.

By the time he died on Thursday, Sharma knew this wouldn’t be the case, courtesy the kindness of strangers that ensured the children continued their schooling and he himself did not die for lack of medical care.
