From being stranded on the streets to being happy and healthy — Charan Prasad’s story makes us usher tons of respect. (Source: Charan Prasad/Facebook)
More often than not, we end up throwing away meal leftovers, without giving a second thought to people who live on the streets and barely get to eat a proper meal in a day. Poverty is one of the prime reasons for deaths in India, and it’s time that we wake up to this harsh reality.
Doing his bit for society, Andhra Pradesh-resident Charan Prasad took in his stride to help an old lady who had been starving for almost two months. In a Facebook post that has gone viral, the young guy from Vizianagaram says he got a call from a stranger, who gave him the details about the lady staying at a roadside. Prasad apparently rushed to help and feed her immediately. Not just that, he took her to a nearby hospital for treatment.
