Nearly Dead Now Fully Alive: Sevy's Story
After both of his parents committed suicide, Sevy—just a first grader—was left in the care of his grandfather.
Sevy had been born into a “backwards caste,” a tribal group living off the radar in rural India. Like many in his community, his early life was filled with instability, abuse, and fear. His father was an alcoholic who beat his mother. His home was no place for a child to thrive—or even survive.
A CHILD LEFT FOR DEAD
One night, Sevy was found unconscious in the streets of his village. He was barely alive.
But thanks to a compassionate neighbor and a determined grandfather who wanted something better, Sevy was brought to a local church in the Restoring Hope network. There, everything began to change.
That all happened more than ten years ago
LIVING HIS DREAMS
Today, Sevy is a university graduate, a lab technician, and married. He was baptized in 2019, and dreams of becoming a doctor.
What once seemed impossible is now Sevy’s reality—and it all started when people like you chose to partner with Restoring Hope. Would you consider helping another child like Sevy?
