Known for his resilience in the face of adversity, Babu never anticipated having to seek assistance from others. Yet, his health has taken a rapid downturn, and his condition has deteriorated. His determination to make a positive impact on society has touched the lives of countless individuals, making this current setback all the more disheartening.

“We had the opportunity to visit Sanda Babu on Sunday and learn about his health. He is battling throat cancer,” shared Kasula Ravi Kumar, a social activist and teacher from Narsampet town. Ravi Kumar, alongside his friend Nagaraju, extended their support by providing Rs 5,000 in cash and a 25 kg bag of rice to Sanda Babu’s family. Babu’s father and siblings, who come from a humble background in the remote village of Narayanpur in Venkatapur mandal, are currently taking care of him.

Sanda Babu has spearheaded numerous initiatives for widows, disabled children and orphans apart from working as a special educator on a contractual basis for several years.

“In light of the challenging circumstances, we appeal to poets, writers, and friends who wish to extend financial aid to Sanda Babu’s family. Your contributions will make a profound difference during this arduous period,” Ravi Kumar appealed.
