Santhakumar is our dear Differently-Abled Empowerment Programme (DAEP) beneficiary since 2020. His hands and legs became deformed because of a sudden fever, when he was 8 years old, studying in class 3. He was taken for treatment to Madurai Government Hospital and then to Theni Government Hospital followed by Dindigul Government Hospital and many other places but it was to no avail and his deformity remained unchanged. He was fully dependent on his mother for his daily activities including being fed by her.
From the time we met him in 2020, we have been helping him with healthy grains for the past three years. Our co-ordinator has faithfully visited him every month and supplied him with almonds, ghee, manna health mix and other nutritious eatables.
When we again met him in Dec 2023, our joy knew no bounds and our eyes were filled with tears to see him much improved in his health. He has been brought up with kanji and basic food from his childhood in the rural interiors of Dindigul. Now since the last three years, his food has been supplemented with CHF’s superfood which has resulted in significant improvement in his health with leaps and bounds.
We were overjoyed to personally witness him eating food on his own with the help of a spoon. He was so happy and hopeful with his improvement that he requested more help from CHF in the form of a physiotherapy camp at Dindigul. We have identified two physiotherapists and very soon we are planning to conduct a camp at Dindigul for our DAEP beneficiaries. Kindly join hands with us as we are hoping to bring a change in these beautiful lives.
