Heart-warming story of a son!

A twenty-three year old teenager, Unnidas had been floundering throughout his young age until he developed the courage to fight against his misery. He was born to humble parents with father being a farmer and mother a housewife, and an elder sister. They were expecting him to lift them up from their social status. Destiny shattered all their dreams when he developed clawed fingers on his right hand and was unable to attend his Computer Science exam in his XI grade. He was depressed that the family felt suicidal because of his condition.

One fine day, he happened to visit St.John’s Hospital and Leprosy Services which is supported by DFIT. The health staff counseled him and family members about the disease and started treatment for leprosy also assured that his deformity can be corrected through surgery. He breathed a sigh of relief and became optimistic about overcoming his condition. Surgical correction was done in the same hospital, intensive physiotherapy was given to rehabilitate. He got transformed completely after the surgery which motivated him to take up lab technician course and thereby supporting his family and living happily ever after.
