Watching homeless children and childless mothers on the early TV coverage of the tsunami tugged at Kuljinder Sidhu's heartstrings.

Therapist Kuljinder Sidhu is donating his income for January

So much so that the 25-year-old massage therapist decided to donate all of his income from his practice, Scottsdale Massage Therapy in Delta, for January.

"My grandmother, she's going to be 100, and she lost three of her children over the years and I saw how much it still hurt her. And I can't imagine what it was like to lose three children in one day or five children in one day," he said.

Sidhu, who lives in Surrey, said he was also inspired by his Sikh faith to give.

"It does say you are supposed to share the fruits of your labour," he said. "And it feels good to help."

He said he's been to India several times and knows how tough it is for some people there, and how much worse it must be after the disaster.

The lack of income will slow his plan to save for a condo but, "I'm not suffering or anything. I don't live a lavish lifestyle. I probably won't be eating at McDonald's as much."
