Widowed At 20 & Forced Out Of In-Laws’ Home, HIV+ Woman who Transformed over 30000 Lives needs Help after Accident.

NEED: P Kausalya, aka Periasamy Kousalya (born c. 1975) is an Indian HIV activist. 

The year was 1995, a time when the virus was seen as a death sentence. Her husband had just died by suicide from the stigma around the sexually transmitted disease (STD), and everyone in her family and village were convinced it was only a matter of time before she would experience a painful end as well. She decided to speak out!  Kousalya Periasamy from Nammakkal in Tamil Nadu  today runs the Positive Women Network, an organisation which aims to provide affordable medical access, counselling, vocational training for jobs, and quality education and health care to children of HIV-positive parents. She came to notice as the first woman to talk to the media about being one of India's HIV-positive people. She was awarded the Nari Shakti Puraskar in 2015 by the Indian government.

 She met with an accident on September 12^th. There  is a fracture in her left hand, two plates had to be put, so she had to go through a surgery at a hospital in Arumbakkam. The estimate given by the hospital for her treatment is 1.5 Lacs...she has about 48,000, which she paid as advance. She needs help for the rest of the amount. Request your support.
