My grandmother is critically ill and is battling a life threatening condition at the Intensive Critical Care Unit of a hospital In Calcutta. My mom has been in Calcutta the last couple of weeks in the midst of absolute chaos. Her life currently entails running from one doctor to the other, one blood bank to the other and basically from the hospital to home. I thought a great way to bring a smile to her face in the midst of this chaos would be to send her a nice Mother’s Day present. I called her last night to ask her what I could send her from the US. You will never believe what she said..“Deb, please give whatever money you are going to spend on my gift and Fedexing to those lovely girls you’re trying to empower.”
How did this selfless thought come to her mind at such a frenzied time in her life? How are mothers so unbelievably altruistic? I really have no idea. But, if your mother is anything like mine, surprise her on Mother’s Day by making a contribution to the Udaan: Girl's Education Fund. We will help make your gift even more special by sending updates about the child’s progress as a thank you for your help empowering this young girl.
Happy Mother’s Day! A big shout out to my poised, radiant and selfless mother:
That's her!
This has by far been the most ADORABLE post to a Mom EVER! .. This post really made my day :)and made me talk to my mom for the longest time EVER! .. Thanks Deb! :))
