The Saldhana family initiated the campaign, "Free Oxygen Cylinders", by selling some personal jewelry and getting seven oxygen cylinders.
In the middle, the coronavirus, Pascal Saldhanha, 55, and his family have to be a helping hand to the society in providing "Free Oxygen Cylinders" in India, till now they have contributed oxygen cylinders to 200 people. A person named Shabana Malik, who received a free oxygen cylinder from Saldhanha family, says, her husband got positive last month, where he needs an oxygen cylinder in 12 days then the Saldhanha family saves the life by providing free oxygen cylinders. Moreover, Mr. Saldhana also helped with the medicines.
Pascal Saldhanha started this campaign, "Free Oxygen Cylinders" because of his wife, as five years earlier his wife Rosy had suffered kidney failure followed by a coma, dialysis, and even brain hemorrhage due to that the oxygen cylinder was always kept in their home.
As of today, many people are suffering in terms of money and equipment. The idea came up in helping them out, with my wife's jewelry which we get to sell and get money from which we then purchase seven oxygen cylinders and start helping people, Mr. Saldhanha adds.Seeing his parents, younger son Salome also decided to help people. He started providing information on social media platforms in providing help to needy ones. Salome also says, when people reach me, I verify them with the Aadhaar card and doctor's letterhead later with the help of a small team we used to deliver oxygen cylinders at the doorstep.
Earlier, the service was provided in supplying free cylinders, now it’s a campaign. The work of Mr. Saldhanha's family is no less a covid hero in the society, seeing this Lottoland Aaj Ka Series has supported them with cash of 1 lakh rupees.
