Tanu Kaur lives with her mother and family in the Amritsar district of Punjab. She is a very bright student and enjoys reading in her spare time. Tanu recently lost her father, who passed away in 2016 due to a heart attack. He was also the primary source of income for the family, without him, Tanu’s mother has struggled to make ends meet. Her mother now works long, tireless hours as a maid for three different households earning only 30 dollars a month. It is simply impossible to support a family of four with such little income. Tanu’s family is in dire need of support.
