About Me
I was married off young, a decision made by my parents. Before that, I was an eager student with big dreams and a passion for life. I participated in school activities, and I imagined a future where I could be someone. But my life took a harsh turn when I was trapped in a marriage filled with emotional and physical abuse. I lost the person I once was — the girl with hopes and aspirations.
For years, I felt helpless, as if I had no way out. But, I couldn’t take it any longer. I escaped, and my journey led me to Mumbai, where, at Dadar station, the police connected me with Urja Trust. That moment changed everything. The helplessness I had felt was replaced by courage.
Urja Trust gave me a safe space, a place where I could rebuild and find hope again. They gave me the strength to reclaim my life. With their support, I started learning tailoring, building skills that would help me create a future in women’s garments.
Appeal
Today, when I look at the Tata Mumbai Marathon, I see more than just a race. It represents my journey of resilience, courage, and transformation. It symbolizes the part of me that believed in myself and found the strength to break free. It’s a reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always a way forward — and a community ready to help you rediscover your dreams.
Your donations can help transform lives. Every contribution directly supports the women at Urja Trust, providing access to shelter, education, skill training, and the resources they need to rebuild their lives and achieve financial independence.
Together, we can create a future where no woman feels powerless. By supporting my journey, you’re investing in the freedom, dignity, and dreams of countless women who are striving for equality and opportunity. Your generosity can empower us to stand tall, dream big, and create a future we can all be proud of.
