This is Ms Tara Bai, a 60 year old woman living near SEEPZ second gate, past the pipeline. She lives on the platform, in a shanty house made using sheets of metal put together covered by a lot of cloth. A dog to keep her company, this old woman, despite her senility, doesn't depend on the age old tradition of begging for a living. Working in the hot sun and the chill nights, she roams around the streets of Andheri picking rags and depositing them in a sack, earning a pittance everyday. And she doesn't fail to share what little she has with her faithful dog. It is indeed a shame on us that we let such people struggle on the streets, walk past them day in and day out and don't do a thing to ease their suffering. Well, DreamIndia2020 has taken it as a responsibility to alleviate her hunger at least, and every month gives her 10 kg of rice and dhal without fail.

There are so many people like Tarabai around us. We see them every day, some near the bus stop, some near office, in fact all around us. Even if each one of us cares for one of them a little, and see to it that their needs are satisfied, it would make a tremendous difference in their lives.

If you get to know someone like Tarabai who you think needs help, please contact us at [email protected]. We will try to do our best for the person.

If you are already helping someone, please share with us. It will be of great guidance for many people who wish to do the same.
