Parineeta deserves a better life

Parineeta deserves better.

I am just like you.

I read the news and see horrible stories everyday.

Some of them affect me more and I wonder if there's some way I can help.

Today I saw this picture in the news:

This is Parineeta.  She was allegedly set on fire in India because she bore two girls and no boys and because she wanted to have her own livelihood. The alleged perpetrators were her own family-in-law -- and she was set on fire in her own home. Her story is in the Wall Street Journal article below: pdf.

She luckily survived, but she will need more help. Her young daughters cannot attend school now, she has no means of income and she is still recovering from her injuries. It's not clear whether she will stay with her husband and if she chooses not to (or he chooses to stay with his family instead), she will need money to survive and be independent.

Can the internet send $5,000 to Parineeta so she can get on with her life? And right, in some small way, the grievous wrong that she was subjected to?
