Journey from HOPELESSNESS TO HOPE FULNESS…
Jeevitha, a very bubbly girl with full of high spirit, monitor of her class, ever happy and smiling and securing “A” grade in most of her subjects. She was not the same before joining Arias Home. Her life was filled with challenges of not getting enough food to eat, clothes to wear, sleepless nights because of water gushing inside the hut during rains and biggest of all protecting self from abuse.
Jeevitha acquired HIV from her mother who was infected by her father. Her father died when she was just a year old. She has an elder sister. She loves her mother very much and had a dream of making her mother proud by studying hard; but her challenges did not allow her to do so. She stopped going to school and secluded herself from everything and everyone.
When she came to the home in Sep 2017, she looked depressed and didn’t speak to anyone.
But after 11 months’ of her stay in Arias Home she says, “My life is totally transformed after coming to this home. I get good food every day, nice clothes to wear, my mind is free and relaxed and I am able to concentrate on my studies. Arias Home has rekindled my hope and I am confident that my family will feel proud of me. In this home, I have learnt to love my life.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to love and live my life without any tension”.
In November’17 a report on Jeevitha was uploaded on the GG when she had just become a member of Arias Home of HOPE. Thanks to all of you for your generous support which has helped HOPE in transforming one life at a time.
