Testimonials

Voices of Gratitude: Transforming Lives, One Story at a Time

testimonial image

“Well, what would I say about Riya Hope Farm. Being associated with the organization for many years now I am always short of words to express my gratitude and appreciation towards the entire staff of Riya Foundation for their selfless service. I would like to mention that a wholesome comprehensive care is provided to all the wards. Be it training with life skills, helping them with social interactions, therapeutic care, timely medical screenings. They are not confined to a sedentary life. They are taken to field trips and picnics. Birthday celebrations and festivals are organized to create a joyous environment. All in all, we families are stress free that our wards are in safe hands and being productive. Last but not the least a special shout out to the founders, Mrs Keerthana P Kumar and Mr Ashley Fernandes, for indeed being the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you is not enough for the vision and the journey you guys have embarked on for making our lives better. May we all grow as one family by providing strength and support to one another. Love and Light Always!”
