Hi My name is Punte.

I was born in a quiet part of the countryside, but I was different from the others. I couldn’t see anything around me. I was born blind. My mother tried to protect me, but one day, she was taken away, and I was left alone in a strange world. I couldn’t see where to go for food, so I wandered aimlessly, bumping into fences and other obstacles. I ate whatever I could find—plastic and garbage, just to survive. But it wasn’t enough. I collapsed by the side of the road, too weak to stand. One day, a kind woman named Sneha found me. She spoke to me softly, guided me to safety, and gave me food. She named me Punte, which means “brave” because I never gave up, even when the world was dark.

I may not see with my eyes, but I see the world with my heart—and that’s all I need. Will you help sponsor me, so I can live the happy, safe life I deserve?
