Children’s stories
Small, ordinary moments that pain had taken away and care gave back. Shared with permission, with names and details changed.
Featured story
The morning Arif asked to go back to school
“For eight months he had not asked for anything. Then one morning he asked for his uniform.”
Arif was nine when the pain in his legs became too much to hide. Our nurse began visiting twice a week, adjusting his medication until he could sleep through the night and teaching his mother how to keep the dosing steady.
