50 years with a disease that tried to steal her joy, yet she chose hope every time.
We love sharing stories of the men and women whose lives are transformed through renewed hope and faith. Today we’d love to introduce you to a kind grandmother named Suseela.
When Suseela was 27 years old, she contracted leprosy. She was treated for the disease and lived a happy life with her two children and husband. But as she got older, her husband passed away, and her children started families of their own—and they didn’t have the resources needed to care for her.
Lonely and struggling with a chronic ulcer, her doctor suggested she visit Embrace a Village for much-needed care. Our team welcomed her into our hospice center three years ago. Her quality of life improved quickly, and she found renewed faith, comfort, and hope in God.
With access to medical care, nourishment, and spiritual support, Suseela now leads a joyful life.
Today, at the age of 77, Suseela has food, a home, medications, treatment, prayers, and friends. She enjoys spending time in reflection, faith-filled reading, and prayer.
Suseela knows she is surrounded by loving people and never feels alone. She recently told our staff that she is leading a meaningful life at EAV and is happy!
We receive stories like this from our staff all the time, and we pray this story encourages you! If you have not already joined and would like to bless others like Suseela, please consider partnering with our Embrace Hope monthly giving program.
We’re grateful for your support and look forward to sharing more stories about hope restored as God continues moving in our ministry.
