A Story of Hope: A Journey Towards Healing for a Brave Little Boy

 A Story of Hope: A Journey Towards Healing for a Brave Little Boy This is the story of a 2-year-old boy , the child of a North Indian missionary family working in the Vikaspuri area of Delhi . He was brought to Believers Church Medical College Hospital (BCMCH) with a heartbreaking history: for the past three months, this little one had been unable to move his lower limbs. His family, driven by hope and desperation, sought answers at some of the best medical colleges in the country.
