Support from ORBIT Organization:
During a survey, ORBIT field animator Mrs. Mahadevi learned about her condition. The family had taken her to various places, temples, and cities for treatment, but nothing worked. Due to lack of responsible family members, no one took her for proper medical care. After repeated follow-up and Counselling, her aunt brought her to the Humnabad Government Hospital, where she received free treatment and medication.
Present Condition:
She has shown improvement. She talks a little with others, does small household tasks, cares for cows, and helps with minor work in the fields. She takes her medication regularly, leading to noticeable recovery. The family expresses their gratitude to ORBIT for their support.
