Dear Sir / Madam,

My name is Shashikala, and I am a 24-year-old woman living in Sri Lanka. I am writing to you with deep sadness and sincere hope, seeking humanitarian support for myself and my family, who are currently going through an extremely difficult time.

I lost my mother due to a tragic incident, and since then, our lives have become unbearable. My father is permanently disabled — he has lost both of his hands and is unable to work or care for himself. I also have a younger brother and a younger sister, but my sister is suffering from a serious mental illness and needs medical attention and constant care.

We are currently living in a temporary shelter with no stable income, no government assistance, and no relatives who can support us. I am the only one trying to take care of my family, and I am struggling every day to manage even our basic needs — food, medicine, and a safe place to live.

With great humility, I am requesting any support you can offer:

Help in building or finding a permanent shelter

Financial support for daily needs and medical expenses

Assistance for my father as a disabled person

Medical help for my mentally ill sister

Any other form of humanitarian aid, guidance, or referral to relevant organizations


I am not asking for anything beyond the basics needed to live with safety and dignity. Your support, however small, would mean everything to us and give us hope for a better future.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter. Please consider our request, and if you are able to help in any way — directly or by referring us to someone who can — we would be forever grateful.

Sincerely,
Shashikala
Sri Lanka
