Krishna

Krishna is seven years old, and grew up under very struggling circumstances. His father abandoned the family while Krishna was still a toddler, and his mother found it almost impossible to raise her children alone. To make matters worse, she soon became sick with uterine cancer, which rendered her unfit to properly care for her sons. Under guidance from the local police station, she took them to Cornerstone Children’s Home.

Since 2013, both boys have developed well, and are learning and growing at a healthy pace. While doctors are doing everything they can to help their mother overcome her illness, we are working closely with the orphanage to help the boys become happy, successful adults. This can be assured with the continued support and generosity that you can provide to Big Hug Foundation and its partner project Cornerstone Trust.

Hear from a Big Hug Volunteer

“During the day, I work as an Assistant Producer (Events and Conferences) and I have been an Events Volunteer at the Big Hug Foundation since July 2012. I decided to get involved because I wanted to make a difference and help children that really need it. This combined with my passion for organising events inspired me to get involved. Volunteering for Big Hug has been a fantastic experience; it gives me the chance to give back to children who do not have the basic needs we take for granted.”
