This April, I will be completing 4 Long
Years in Vidarbha (16th April 2014). On the 12th of March,
2010… I dedicated my life to start the one-man-crusade – support 4 suicide
farmers families – from the streets of Bombay. Four long years, Beautiful
Angels flew from everywhere to help and support the “Journey of Destiny” by
providing me financial support year after year, so that I continue the work
effectively. The unlearning of learning the ground realities, floating a Trust “Support
4 Suicide Farmers Families, Wardha” and supporting a girl child of a suicide
farmer’s from Salod Village, Wardha with a 7-Years’ R/D Account, the “Journey
of Destiny” has seen many challenges and one step at a time, with the blessings
of my Sai Baba, I have continued walking… and will keep walking ahead.
From the third year onwards, I did faced
financial crisis when I couldn’t get 10 BEAUTIFUL ANGELS to support me. Fourth
year was even worst and I ended up borrowing money from friends to continue my
work here. Yes, debts are a big worry and farmers’ suicide all over the world
are caused by this miserable ancient trade. So, to pay off my debts, my Sai
Baba showed me the way and last November, I thought of selling my Nature’s
Photographs in a frame, to not only raise the required funds for the Trust but
also raise sufficient money to pay off my debts and take care of my monthly
expenses.
In December 2013, I created an exclusive
Page on Facebook to display my photographs for the world to see. This month, I
started getting my photographs framed (Size: 14” x 20”) and put them on sale
for a very minimum price of Rs. 2,000/-. Each purchase will sponsor a girl’s
child Future Education Fund (one month installment – 7
Years’ R/D Account is opened for the beneficiaries) being sponsored by -
"Support 4 Suicide Farmers Families, Wardha". Registration No: E-350 (W).
A very dear long-time
friend, model-actress-National Karate Champion Sandhya Shetty came forward to
purchase the First Frame and assured me to spread the word among her friends’
circle. Sandhya was very happy when I told her about this new beginning and
said, “Johnny not many can do what you are doing out there leaving your professional
life and giving up everything. Whatever little I can do from my side, I will do.”
These kind words are the adrenaline that keeps me walking the “Journey of
Destiny” without losing the sole aim to help the farmers’ community.
I wish to thank
Sandhya from the bottom of my heart for everything. An Angel in disguise, I
know she was sent to me at the right time by my Sai Baba. Sandhya through this
post, I wish to say – Sai Baba bless you always and forever! I am very grateful
for your everlasting kind support and also for encouraging me always to keep
walking ahead and above all, for being such a loving soul!
