Indravati’s face tells the story of her life

Indravati Devi is 70 years old.  She was born in the village of Dadara Mariahu in the Jaunpur district of eastern Uttar Pradesh in India.

Her face tells the story of her life.  Tuberculosis has taken a heavy toll on her and her family.  Her husband Budhiram Saroj died of Tuberculosis.  She does not have any surviving children and does not want to talk about whether she had any in the past

She developed Tuberculosis about the same time as her husband.  She tried in vain to get treatment from a local government clinic.  She has been under treatment at JSM Clinic since December 2009.  Her latest X-rays show that she might beat this deadly illness.

Your generous donation, Karen, will provide her with much needed medications for a period of 12 months.  She is appreciative and thankful to you for that.
