How many times have you come forward and extended a helping hand towards those who need assistance the most? How often have you gone out of your way to do something for someone? And how many times have you pacified a hungry soul? Well! A couple from Tamil Nadu has done it innumerable times.
Several patients at the government Erode hospital have taken a sigh of relief as V Venkatraman and his wife’s philanthropic act has put a smile on their faces. The couple who owns a restaurant near the hospital, distributes food to its patients and their attendants for just Re 1 only. They make it a point to feed at least 70 people in a day.
Indian Express reported that at the start of the day, the couple gives out 60 to 70 tokens. And depending on the needs of the patients and their attendants’, they provide breakfast, lunch or dinner.
It was 12 years ago when Venkatraman learned that the patients at the hospital needed utmost care and that’s when he decided to offer them assistance in order to see them happy. Indian Express also reported that after finding out the other common needs of the people at the government hospital, they even started supplying plates, blankets, footwear, and toiletries.
Venkatraman and his wife have been the reason behind numerous smiles which has left us wondered how beautiful this world would be if more such people come into the picture.
