Monica More, who on Wednesday walked for the first time after her accident, was flooded with more than 100 visitors, ranging from college students to elderly citizens from far off suburbs.Financial aid also poured in for the second day running, with contribution ranging from Rs 100 to Rs 50,000. The family received close to Rs 2 lakh on Wednesday. Artificial limbs for Monica will const anywhere between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 50 lakh.KEM’s orthopaedic ward No 26, where Monica is admitted, witnessed people of all ages and walks of life –from friends and relatives to college students to elderly people who wanted to offer their support to the family.“I do not have words to express my gratitude,” said Monica’s father Ashok. “There were so many visitors who wanted to meet her and pray for her. I did not have the heart to say no to anyone. I hope this motivates her and helps her recover quickly.Surekha Maane, 75, who came all the way from Thane to see Monica broke down on seeing the 16-year-old. Maane had lost her son-in-law in a train accident a few years ago.“It is so painful to see her like this,” said Maane. “Had my son-in-law been alive, I I would have had a granddaughter like Monica. When I read about her in the newspapers, I knew I had to come and meet her. I can understand what the family must be going through. I just blessed them and prayed for her early recovery.”A 15-year-old visitor gave the family Rs 100 from her pocket money. “We were so touched by the girl’s gesture,” said Ashok. “It is not the financial help but the concern these people have shown. Two people who had lost both their hands in accidents called me. They spoke to Monica and told her life does not stop after an accident like this and encouraged her to soldier on.”All the concern and care the visitors showered on Monica helped cheer her up somewhat. After a point, she got up from her bed and began receiving people with equal warmth. “We are so happy to see her smiling again,” said Suchitra, Monica’s cousin. “Her friends brought her chocolates. She was happy to be able to spend time with them.”
