She took the entire responsibility of the family, got everyone married, but she did marry. The fact that she had to lose her mother and brother, only because, they had no money for treatment and they were poor, was deep rooted in her heart, and she wanted to devote the rest of her life and the earnings she made, by selling vegetables, for the benefit of the orphans and poor. She starts working from early morning 3 a. m to 8 p. m.

Out of the money she saved like this she donated, 16lks. To Buddhist monks for charity towards their welfare, in remembrance of her father, when he died. She also contributed 50lks. To build two floors of library, with all latest facilities, as she wanted, that no one should stop studying like her, because of poverty.
