Their family is incredibly poor. They come from Bihar, the poorest state in India, and are strangers in Punjab. When he can find work picking potatoes, the father makes less than $2 a day. When there isn't any work in the fields, he scrapes by doing odd jobs.
Without Interplast, there is no way Suraj would have had a chance at a normal foot. Since he will probably be pulled out of school at a young age to help provide for the family, the jobs available to him will be manual and will require him to have working limbs. Thanks to Interplast, he will be able to provide for his family.
