Bringing Hope to the Villages
Manohar was born with a disability, and by adulthood, he was struggling to get around on an artificial leg. When HBMH’s disability services team heard about Manohar, they were quick to connect him with an organization offering free electric tricycles to those with mobility difficulties. Now Manohar has no trouble getting where he needs to go, including his tailoring shop. HBMH has helped to increase his ability to make a living and to restore his dignity.
At 54, Usha was dealing with excruciating wounds from oral cancer. She had tried multiple treatments and costly but ineffective medications and was without hope. When HBMH’s palliative care team found out about Usha’s situation, they were quick to visit her. By providing a pain patch and other affordable, effective medicine, they were able to significantly reduce her pain. Usha’s quality of life and hope for the future were both improved by the compassionate care of HBMH’s PC team.
