{{/usCountry}}"Finally, with all your love and support, my mother, father and my sister, who is like a mother to me, travelled on a flight for the first time. I was quite worried that something might go wrong up in the air, but thankfully, nothing happened and everyone actually enjoyed the experience. All of this became possible because of your support. Otherwise, a boy earning just ₹6,000– ₹7,000 could never have afforded to take his family on a flight, as that amount is barely enough to cover household expenses. Today, my hard work has made this possible. I just want to say to all of you: keep working hard, keep moving forward, and one day, everything will fall into place."
His words highlighted the financial struggles he once faced while earning only enough to manage household expenses, making the family’s first flight even more meaningful.
