Sanju Samson's Heartwarming Gesture: A Family's Dream Home Realized

Emotional Moment for a Family in Kerala

In a heartfelt event in Kerala, Sanju Samson, the wicketkeeper-batter for Team India, witnessed his mother, Ligy Viswanath, hand over the keys to their newly constructed home. This moment marked the end of a decade-long struggle for the family to complete their house.

A touching video shared by the Sanju Samson Foundation captured the moment when his mother presented the keys to the homeowner, who had been waiting for ten years for the house to be finished. This special occasion coincided with Samson's 32nd birthday on November 11, making it even more memorable for both the family and his fans.

Samson, who is set to lead the Kerala team in the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, has received widespread acclaim for his philanthropic efforts off the field. The Sanju Samson Foundation collaborated with Sree Dhanya Homes to finalize the construction of the house.

Gratitude from the Kerala Family

The woman from Thiruvananthapuram, Sanju Samson's hometown, expressed her heartfelt thanks to the cricketer and his foundation for their support during a time when her family had nearly lost hope.

She shared, "It’s been 10.5 years since we began building this house. We never imagined it would be completed. The Sanju Samson Foundation took this on and finished it for us."

She continued, "My family's gratitude will always remain, and they will be in our prayers."
