Two years ago, Anif Shaikh, a 36-year-old construction worker from Pune, faced a life-altering accident. While carrying a steel pole on a rooftop, the pole touched a high-tension wire, resulting in the loss of both his arms and his left leg. This tragic incident not only cost him his job but also plunged his life into darkness.
Anif found himself dependent on family and friends for his basic needs. His wife became his primary caregiver, feeding him, cleaning him, and helping him with every daily task. He felt like a burden, struggling to find hope in his new reality.
Mohammad Alifa, a 19-year-old boy from a poor family in Andhra Pradesh, has faced more challenges. At just 17, his life changed forever when he lost his leg in an auto accident. For a year, he struggled to move around with a leg stand and other accessories, unable to afford a prosthetic leg.
Life was hard for Mohammad and his family. He had to rely on his mother for almost everything, and his dream of becoming a photographer seemed impossible. But then, through the help of humanitarian, and philanthropist Mr Sonu Sood, Mohammad learned about the Inali Foundation.
Ritu Sonanai's story is one of extraordinary strength and resilience. In 2016, while she was a final year BCom student, a devastating accident changed her life forever. An electric shock of 11,000 volts resulted in the loss of her right hand. This tragic incident forced Ritu to halt her education, a heartbreaking blow for someone who had always excelled in school and college.
Despite this setback, Ritu's spirit remained unbroken. Known for her bravery and intelligence, she had always been at the top of her class. She refused to let her circumstances define her. Ritu got married and began her new life, managing all household chores with just one hand. She even pursued her passion for sports, becoming a shotput player. Yet, one dream remained elusive: riding a bicycle.
