About me

My name is Ali Asgar Vanthliwala. I am 32 years old Dawoodi Bohra male from Kandivli, Bombay. I have lost my 80% eyesight as I am suffering from macular degeneration since last two years. I have tried many doctors and hospitals in Bombay but nobody has been able to cure my case.

Until two years back, I was working as a Counter Sales Executive with Toy Dealer HATIM AL JOUHAR in Abu Dhabi & Dubai and was the only earning member of my family that consisted of my retired father, my mother as well as my elder sister who is a divorcee since last 12 years and lives with me with her two children.

Thankfully her son is now 18 years old and along with his studies, he has also started doing part time work as Accountant and is earning some money but it is obviously not enough to support the family. My sister also gives private tutions from house to house but again it will not support the entire family.

Since last twenty years, my mother is suffering from Parkinsons' Disease and about four months back, she had six epileptic fits for which she was hospitalised.

Due to all these problems, I have lost all my savings that I made while working abroad.

I seek your help and support to find me a solution for my problem so that I am able to once again start earning for my family. In the meantime, please advise me what can I do to make a living for myself and my family, are there any organisations that support people like me find some suitable work.

I can only see light, objects and figures but I cannot read. I can walk on my own in my building and colony but I need support while crossing the road and while travelling.

I don't know how to use internet and this blog has been made by my friend Mustafa. Please contact me on my Residence No. +91-22-28074554.
