When I think about Sarasu and how far she’s come When I think about Sarasu and how far she’s come over the last 18 years, it brings tears to my eyes. This precious woman was at the end of her rope. Her fingers were mangled, she had many toes missing, and nothing about life was easy. Her pain was excruciating, her burdens ran deep, and she’d lost the will to live. 

Someone found her near a railway and took her in. Soon after, Sarasu joined the leprosy colony and started begging. To many of us, that doesn’t sound like an upgrade, but to Sarasu it was the beginning of her life truly changing. 

Sadly though, before it got better, it got worse. The ulcers kept growing, and anything she earned from begging went towards bandages for her wounds. The pain made her immobile, and all hope looked lost until one day, we met Sarasu during our weekly medical program.

However, because of the consistent care and relationship with the team, she not only experiences joy in her life but is also receiving care for her wounds. Healing is taking place emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
