Mahalakshmi was diagnosed as Spastic with over 90% disability immediately after birth. The complications the Mother had during and after delivery aggravated due to lack of oxygen to the brain was citied as the main reason for her condition by the Physician. The mother was unable to accept the child's condition complicated by the arrival of the normal second sibling. Mahalakshmi was therefore under the care of her uncle who brought her to the therapy center a year ago. In spite of her being irregular for the therapy sessions, today she is able to walk with the help of a walker. Mahalakshmi would be an ideal beneficiary for the van that can bring her to the center for therapy regularly.
