With his father being admitted to hospital after his oxygen saturation level fell dipped, Garav says he was worried about his mother and younger brother. "My mother did develop Covid-like symptoms but her reports were negative. As my mother was also sick, we faced problem in procuring cooked meals," he adds. "My father remained at the hospital for more than a week. My younger brother was just 11, he was also not able to cook anything for himself. That's when we realised how important it is to help others in crisis like these," he says.

Garav stated that after all of them recovered, they decided to help the families where members were sick and required food. "I contacted an NGO. All I had to do was collect disposable tiffin boxes and deliver the packed food at a designated place. On two occasions, we contributed 10 meals which were cooked by my mother," he said, adding it was a small way of expressing gratitude towards the unknown people from the society who helped us with food when we needed it.

“Covid-19 is not just a disease. It is also a test of our compassion and humanity. We should not shy away from helping those in need,” said Garav, adding that it is a lesson he learnt after testing positive on May 13 this year.
