Finding dignity for an elderly woman who was found crawling on the streets after an accident left her physically disabled.
Kumari Bai, an elderly woman abandoned to the unforgiving streets, faced a life-altering tragedy almost three years ago. A cruel twist of fate in the form of an accident rendered her unable to stand again, leaving her physically disabled and destitute. With no recourse but to beg for survival, she spent her days crawling miles in search of compassion and sustenance, her resilience tested by each passing day.
In January 2023, we received word of her dire circumstances. Swiftly mobilising, we arranged for a vehicle and rushed to her aid. There, we found her lying by the roadside, her condition heart-wrenchingly pitiful. With empathy in our hearts, we listened as she shared her story, revealing the harsh realities of life on the streets—brutal winters, inadequate clothing, and the constant struggle for food and shelter. Her resilience in the face of such adversity left an indelible mark on us.
Determined to offer her a lifeline, we brought Kumari Bai to our centre, where she received the care and attention she so desperately needed. It was during her medical examination that we discovered the extent of her suffering—piles exacerbated by her method of mobility. Though not curable, we resolved to alleviate her pain through ongoing treatment and support.
Months later, a concerning decline in her health prompted further investigation, revealing a severe lack of blood. Without hesitation, we admitted her to the hospital, where she underwent intensive treatment for nearly ten days. Through the dedication of our team and the expertise of medical professionals, Kumari Bai emerged from her ordeal stronger and healthier than before.
Today, she resides at our centre, her days no longer defined by despair but by hope and healing. Kumari Bai's journey serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion and care. In our commitment to her well-being, we find solace and purpose, knowing that every life, no matter how marginalised, deserves dignity and support.
