At 68 years old, Badri’s life could have ended in silence and pain. Once, she had a family. A home. A place in the world. But when the first signs of leprosy appeared, fear and shame began to unravel everything she held dear. One by one, her loved ones turned away. What started as hesitation became complete abandonment. She was left utterly alone—rejected, forgotten, and unseen.
As the disease advanced, leprosy claimed both her hands and left her feet covered in painful ulcers. Even simple survival became a daily battle. There were days she cried out from her bed of suffering, but no one came. Her life became a quiet agony—an existence filled with pain, hunger, and hopelessness.
But then, something extraordinary happened. Grace found Badri—through the loving hands of Embrace a Village.
Today, Badri lives at our hospice in Coimbatore, where she is no longer an outcast, but a cherished member of a new family. Here, every wound is gently cared for. Every meal is served with compassion. Every smile is returned with love. Our staff see her not for her disease, but for her dignity.
In a world that once ignored her suffering, Badri has found people who see her, hear her, and walk beside her. Her bandaged feet still speak of the struggle, but her spirit is stronger than ever. And her smile—soft, shy, and full of gratitude—tells the story of a woman rediscovering life.
This is what your generosity makes possible.
Badri is no longer alone. She wakes up each day with hope in her heart and peace in her soul—because someone like you chose to care.
There are so many more like Badri—waiting in the shadows, longing to be seen, to be loved, to belong.
