An appeal to help triplets

Triplets to a poor family, whose parents are trying to make ends meet by working at a metal crusher. Apart from the three, there is another child, and the family is faced with a problem of feeding four tiny mouths.

These three babies born to the mother A. S. Raihana (23) of Vetiya, Madawakkulam and father is W. M. Rameez (24). Now the father and mother are sacrificing their lives from morning to evening trying to feed the newly born babies and the other child.

On Sixth September 2005 - The three were born to A. S. Rahima at Chilaw Hospital, and the babies were named Rasheena, Rishuda, Shamha and the eldest is Rameez Rishda, aged 2.

Neighbours, relatives and well wishes helped them at the beginning with milk powder and other required medicines for which the parents are still grateful.

The parents earn about Rs. 300 a day. Out of this amount which they earn at the crusher, they find it difficult to earn the full amount as the father Rameez is unable to be punctual at work early in the morning.

The parents appeal to well wishers to remit within their means to the following account in favour of W. M. Rameez, Savings A/C No. 024-2-001-8 2004864 of People's Bank, Chilaw.
