She simply tries to back up these units so that they can continue with their good work for those people stuck in the remote and rural areas, during the lockdown . They provide basic food items, medicinal kit, clothes, sanitary napkins to the needy ones. Trina is grateful to God that she got a chance to work for such a cause.
