Social Service for the Most Vulnerable
“Service from the Heart” was born in Sri Lanka after befriending Isuru. He and his mother lived alone in a hot and dark brick house, and although he could not move or talk or eat by himself, he sure could smile. We knew right when we met them that we could not turn away, and started immediately fundraising for a wheelchair, household items, and 3 months of food in bulk. And because of one little boy’s smile and his uncomplaining angel of a mother, Service With Heart was born!
In 2021, Isuru passed away at 16 years of age. His smile continues to inspire every Social Service project of the heart, and in his memory we seek to ease what suffering we can, whenever and wherever possible.
We extended our reach to help the most vulnerable people living near wild elephants in central Sri Lanka.
In the same village where Isuru lives, we brought donated clothing, school supplies, and household goods to over 150 people. Then the government GS of the village asked if we could help supply food to hungry families just in time for Sri Lanka’s Sinhalese New Year, and just like Isuru introduced us to more people in need of Service from the Heart.
When the pandemic began we were in Thailand, where Service With Heart assisted with food drops for the Stateless Burmese down south who were unemployed overnight. Months later when the military coup began, we moved north near the Thai/Burma border where we were brought over 600 blankets for those still reeling from the pandemic and now enduring military uprising.
