Ganesan and his wife Andal are living in a small v Ganesan and his wife Andal are living in a small village near the Kallakurichi district of Tamilnadu. Ganesan contracted leprosy at a very young age and did his treatment in Thiyagadurgam leprosy hospital. His life was one of trial and pain – he is now 73 years old and his only income is a pension from the government. All these years Ganesan didn’t want to beg for income or food, so he managed to work on the local farm as a daily laborer. He couldn’t work for long hours because of the physical condition his body was in from leprosy. After life took some more tragic turns, Ganesa and his wife were depending solely on the government pension money for their survival. But almost 7 years ago, during one of our visits to a nearby village, the Embrace a Village team found Ganesan. He still remembers that day very well. He started crying because he couldn’t believe that he received rice and bandages for free. We began to visit Ganesa at his hut and spend more time with him and got to show the love of Christ to Ganesan and his wife. That really began to transform his life. Ganesan now knows joy in his life, perhaps for the first time. Read more from our March newsletter at the link in our bio!
Today we share with you the incredible story of De Today we share with you the incredible story of Devraj, a leprosy patient from a small village in Pollachi, Coimbatore district. Devraj was a farmer who was affected by leprosy at the age of 30. Sadly, his family never took him to a hospital for treatment and instead took him to a village medicine man for a cure. Since he didn’t get the care he needed, ulcers began to form on his skin, and his parents isolated him in a small hut, never allowing him to come out. During a government leprosy survey in the village, the workers came upon Devraj. After suffering alone and being neglected, Devraj was finally admitted to a leprosy hospital for treatment. Despite his hopes of returning to his farming work, the physical pain he experienced from the disease made it nearly impossible for him to stand in the sun for long periods. To make matters worse, Devraj's life took another devastating turn when his parents passed away a few years later, leaving him to struggle with his condition all by himself. Through the darkness and despair, Devraj clung to hope – that's when Embrace a Village appeared in his life. Read Devraj's full story at the link in our bio!
