“There is a significant cost of each survivor when it comes to their rehabilitation. This cost includes their medical treatment, psychological health treatment, emotional guidance, spiritual counseling, as well as providing for transportation, education, and more,” said Wijeyakumar. “It is only with the assistance of contributions that we can continue this vital work.
