He was a poor roadside vegetable vendor and has left behind his wife and 2 children (around 10yr old).

What all things can be done to support his family? I and some friends can give him few thousand rupees but is there anything else that I can do?

do not give them money. Give them some work.

If you can shed some light on kids age then suggestions could become more relevant.
If kids are young then her wife can still do the same work or you guys can help her in getting some job/work depending on her qualification/ability but do make sure anyhow her kids go to school and complete their education.
@goss8877 suggestion is relevant too but we know the issues down that road.

As the saying goes: It is better to teach how to fish rather than feeding a fish. Help the widow to find some work, that’ll keep them well fed.

You can ensure those kids go to government school instead of becoming child labour in some sweatshop. Buy them some books, pencil etc. If they complete school, they can support the family in future.

I think that’s the best support.anyone can do in similar situation.

All the best, KG+ for positive and practical attitude.
