The Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation was borne out of love, loss, resilience, and a vision. It was founded by Mr. Abilash Praveen in memory of his late wife, Percy Jebamalar, who was a beacon of compassion, resilience, and hope.

Percy Jebamalar, fondly remembered as Percy, embodied kindness and empathy. She was the epitome of compassion and a nurturing spirit, always there for those in need. From easing minor discomforts to providing relentless support during the darkest hours, Percy was the rock that grounded those around her.

When Percy was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, she faced it with fortitude and grace. Through her journey, she inspired everyone around her. Her strength in adversity and her unwavering belief in the power of love and compassion left a profound impact on all who knew her.

Despite her passing, Percy’s spirit and her indomitable will left a lasting impression. This is what inspired us to establish the Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation in her honor, as a testament to her strength and her spirit.

At the heart of our foundation is the SEEDS Program, a unique initiative designed to provide holistic palliative care for those suffering from serious illnesses. The acronym SEEDS embodies our guiding principles:

Support: Providing emotional, psychological, and practical support to patients and their families.

Empower: Empowering patients and families with knowledge and skills to manage illness.

Educate: Educating the wider community about palliative care and its benefits.

Dignity: Ensuring that every patient is treated with dignity, regardless of their condition.

Sustain: Offering continued support to families, even after their loved one’s life ends.

The SEEDS Program was born from a desire to extend the same kindness, resilience, and hope that Percy offered throughout her life to those in need. Like seeds sown in a garden, we believe that with the right care and conditions, individuals and families facing serious health-related suffering can continue to grow and thrive.

The Percy Jebamalar Legacy Foundation and its SEEDS Program aim to provide a sanctuary of hope and love, just as Percy did throughout her life. We honor Percy’s legacy by striving to nurture life amidst adversity, transforming pain into potential through compassionate care and support.

We welcome you to join us in this mission to sow seeds of hope, resilience, and love.
