AGRA: Unable to pay the school fees of her four children, a woman offered on Wednesday to sell her kidney to help them complete their education.In a Facebook post, Aarti Sharma , who lives with eight family members in a 330-sq-ft rented room in Eco Colony, Rohata, claimed that demonetisation hit their small garment business hard, pushing them to poverty .They were not able to pay the fees of their four children, including three daughters, due to which they hadn't been able to attend the new academic session so far, she added.Recalling how they had got 11 poor girls married with the support of other locals in August 2016, Aarti said that even the district administration refused to offer any help in their hour of need. She said they had to sell their LPG cylinder in the black market to travel to Lucknow to meet chief minister Yogi Aditya Nath. Though the CM met them on April 29 and assured help, she claimed that no assistance has been received till date.Aarti's husband Manoj Sharma said, "It was Aarti's decision to put up her kidney for sale. I work as a taxi driver and earn only Rs 4,000-5000 a month. Our landlord has warned us to either pay the rent or vacate. We just want the administration to help us get a loan so that we can start a small business and send our children to school."District magistrate Gaurav Dayal could not be reached for comment.
