Making a Difference
Bhagavati, 14, lives in Gondha Aatas, a small village near Vrindavan. Coming from a very poor family, she has 4 brothers and 4 sisters. At the young age of only 8 months she broke her left leg.
Her parents just tied a cloth around the fracture and that was it. At age 2 the same leg broke again. At age 8 she had a 3rd fracture, yet she was never seen by a doctor nor taken to a hospital.
Six months ago while FFLV’s medical team was doing their weekly visit in Gondha Aatas they heard of Bhagavati and of her fourth fracture just two weeks before, so our doctor visited her and discovered that she had a very serious infection.
If not for immediate treatment it may have led to amputation. FFLV sponsored her surgery and Bhagavati is now almost recovered and able to walk only slightly limping! Another girl - Lajavati from Alipur had a very bad leg and now, after proper treatment arranged by FFLV, she is recovered and can walk.
Rameshwar is a 15 year old boy from Javat village, near Kosi. A rare problem in his bones causes open, infected sores on his body. Thanks to FFLV’s medical team, he now gets bi-weekly treatment in New Delhi. This orthopedic process has been going on successfully for 2 years. He’s recovering well now.
