Bobby Ramani, 7 years back from now, doing well at a real estate company, would come home, look at her brother who is differently- abled. Took care of him, took him out for drives with her mother and that was how most days looked like. The happiness on her brother’s face was unparalleled to any joy in the world when she went on a drive because autistic children love fresh air and music. Just on one of such evenings, She realised that “Making money is not all that matters, after all” and that is where the idea of I Support Foundation popped up in my mind. She knew that day that she wanted to establish an organisation for the differently- abled children and especially those that are from BPL (below the poverty line) segment. And just as the plan went, She set up “I Support Foundation” in the year of 2014, an organisation that aims at developing the differently-abled and carried the goal of developing them in a holistic way. The foundation is a central government recognised NGO with an idea to educate children with intellectual disabilities.
