Selvamani, a 55-year-old man, lay helpless and abandoned on the streets, his frail body succumbing to illness. With no one to care for him or offer a comforting hand, he endured days of unimaginable suffering, teetering on the edge of life and death. A kind-hearted passerby, moved by his dilemma, called an ambulance, and Selvamani was rushed to JIPMER for urgent medical care. There, he was diagnosed with a tumor and a severe lung infection. The doctors did their best, and after two long weeks of treatment, his condition began to improve.
However, Selvamani had no family to turn to, no place to call home. The hospital, recognizing his dire need for continued care, reached out to Snehan Home to provide a safe home and the nourishment he so desperately needed.
When Selvamani arrived at Snehan Home, he was completely bedridden, his body stiff and unresponsive. He couldn’t even turn or lift a glass of water to lips. We took him in with open arms, caring for him as tenderly as one would an infant. His lung infection robbed him of his voice, and he couldn’t share much about his past or his family.
Despite the challenges, we hold onto hope. We believe in Selvamani’s strength and resilience. With love, care, and determination, we are committed to his recovery. Our greatest wish is to see him regain his health, find his family, and reunite him with them, so that he can live an independent and fulfilling life once more.
