I am Samantha Kumara. I could not speak properly and had difficulty in walking. LCDRC staff visited my house and have changed my life. I was given physio and speech therapy. They constructed a walking area with rods (parallel bars) for me to practice and also, helped me get a loan. As a result of this, today, I own a mobile cart, which I take around our neighbourhood and sell spices. I make about LKR 9000 (£39) in a month and have managed to save LKR 4000 (£17) till now. I cannot express the immense happiness I feel. My whole life has changed for the better. My mother’s smile says it all.
