Mr. Harish Kumar, 46 years old, is farmer from Khagaria disttrict of Bihar state, India. He is living a simple live on money made from farming. Some how he was surviving there years. But In 2010 flood he lost huge amount, because all the banana plant spoiled in heavy rain and storm for few days. Most of the money used in banana farming was taken on loan from private party at interest rate 4-5% per month. Government is giving farming loan not more than INR 50,000 (i.e.USD 900) and this amount in not enough for more 1 acre land. So farmer here forced to take very expensive loan from fellow villagers. in 2011 & 2012 he took around 15 acres land on lease for Banana farming and borrowed huge money INR 1,550,000 (i.e. USD 25000 estimated) from few villagers at 4-5% per month interest rate. The banana plant was very good, he was spending all the time in farm land and with this dream that he will repay the debts by end 2013. But nobody knows what will happen in the future. In July -Aug 2013 flood came, everywhere only water was visible, in last 20 years they never experience this kind disastrous flood. All bananas in 15 Acres farm land could stand in flood and everything spoiled. The entire dream shattered, If the flood would not have come in july-aug 2013, he could have made some after repaying all the debts. Now he is in worse condition, all the debtors are coming to him, humiliating and abusing him when he say I will pay your money give me more time. Whatever gold his wife had, they sold it and pay some interest amount. Now he is verge of committing suicide. If he commits suicide, all 3 children will have miserable life. He 2 grown up daughter and 1 son he studying in 7th standard. In Bihar, India for daughter marriage he needs spends huge amount at least INR 1,500,000 (i.e. US$ 23000) and he has 2 druthers. So, his worries are increasing day to day. So, he is always showing some suicidal tendency.

I would like to request you all, please help him by donating some amount. Now only you people can save his live and his family lives. I will pray to god for your success and good health.
