'They Will Always Be In Our Prayers': Kerala Woman Thanks Sanju Samson After Getting Dream Home - Video

(MENAFN- Live Mint) A family in Kerala has finally been able to move closer to realising its dream of owning a completed home, after waiting for more than 10 years. The house, whose construction had remained unfinished for over a decade, was completed with the support of Indian cricketer Sanju Samson's charitable foundation.

A video posted by the Sanju Samson Foundation on November 11, the cricketer's 32nd birthday, captured the moment his mother handed over the house keys to its owner.

As reported by Gulf News, the family had been waiting for 10 and a half years for construction to be completed when the foundation stepped in to take up the project. Sree Dhanya Homes undertook the construction work under the initiative.

For the woman who received the keys, the occasion brought an end to years of uncertainty and a wait she had almost given up hope of seeing through.

In the video, the woman spoke about the family's prolonged struggle to get the house completed, admitting that they had stopped imagining it would ever become a reality.

“It's been 10.5 years since we started building this house. We never even dreamed in our furthest imagination that it would ever be completed. It's the Sanju Samson Foundation that took this up and finished it for us,” she said in the video.
