Abdul Rasheed T.K from Kozhikode, Kerala, sustained a C5 spinal cord injury after a life-changing accident in 2022. Once a Finance Manager living an active life, he suddenly found himself completely bedridden, without access to proper rehabilitation.

Through Touch FREEDOM, his journey began to change.

Step by step, with the right guidance and his determination, Abdul Rasheed rebuilt his life. Today, he manages most of his daily activities independently, transfers on his own, and can sit in a wheelchair for hours — something that once felt impossible.

Surjit Singh from Tarn Taran, Punjab, sustained a spinal cord injury in 2021 after an accident, leaving him paralyzed and confined to bed for a long time. Due to financial constraints, he could not afford a wheelchair, which made even basic movement inside and outside his home extremely difficult.

After connecting with a TGF Peer Trainer, his journey began to change. Through Touch Freedom Independent Living Training, Surjit learned essential skills for daily life. He also received a wheelchair under The Right Wheelchair Programme, giving him the mobility he needed.

Today, Surjit is able to move independently, step out with confidence, and rely less on others.

In January 2024, Aniket Dhake’s life changed after a road accident led to a complete spinal cord injury at the T4 level.

For nearly a year, he depended on others for even the simplest daily activities. The journey was physically and emotionally challenging, and independence felt out of reach.

Everything began to change when he joined Touch Freedom.
Through structured online rehabilitation and constant guidance, he gradually learned to manage daily tasks independently and rebuild his confidence.
Today, Aniket is taking control of his life again — stronger, more confident, and full of hope.

His journey reminds us that with the right support, a new beginning is always possible.

I thought my life was over…

After a spinal cord injury, Ponnala Sandhya became completely dependent on her mother for even the smallest tasks. With no access to rehabilitation, her hopes of living independently felt impossible.

Varsha Chauhan from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, has been living with a spinal cord injury since 23 April 2016. What once was a normal life suddenly became filled with daily challenges — even basic household tasks became difficult.

At a young age, after her marriage, Varsha had to manage her responsibilities while struggling without a proper wheelchair. This made her daily life even more challenging. On top of that, she developed a serious bedsore, which further affected her health and mobility.

During this time, she connected with TGF Peer Trainer, who provided continuous guidance and support. With regular follow-ups, Varsha’s bedsore healed completely — marking the first step towards recovery.

A major turning point came when Varsha received a suitable wheelchair through The Ganga Foundation’s The Right Wheelchair Programme. This, combined with the support of the Spinal India Peer Trainer Programme (SIPT), helped her regain confidence and independence.

Today, Varsha is:
💙 Managing her daily activities independently
💙 Stepping out of her home with confidence
💙 Living a more self-reliant and happier life
