" Now he can move about without the help of the old rusted pan in which the other kids dragged him along", says Victoria, the program officer of Disability Support under VOICE Trust. Sanjay is a cheerful and shy seventh-grader belonging to the Irular community living in the outskirts of the Tiruchirappalli city of Tamil Nadu deprived of a decent shelter, sufficient food, and sanitation facilities. Sanjay lost his mother when he was three and his father abandoned him as he was a physically handicapped and specially-abled child. He is currently under the care of his grandparents who live in a little shanty and are trying to make ends meet. Being from a community that is overburdened by caste-based discrimination, Sanjay's grandfather is a snake charmer b profession and his grandmother works for daily wages.
Victoria happened to visit the child five years ago and ever since VOICE Trust has reached out to ensure that the child was properly taken care of. Your donations have enabled us to give him a gift of mobility!!! He is overjoyed and so are his friends who can now play with him and go around effortlessly.
Thank you for helping us to touch lives and create an impact.
