Representative of the Overseas Organisation for Better Bihar

“This situation is heartbreaking. Singh has no one here. No relatives. No support. When we met him, he didn't even know where he would sleep. We cannot let a father struggle alone in a foreign land while his daughter fights for her life. We are calling upon the Indian community in the Bay Area to step up to help Arti Singh and her father in whatever way possible.”

“This is every parent's nightmare. Singh is alone here with no family support. Our community is doing everything possible to make sure he is not left to struggle in silence.”
