Sarah’s Story

HOW TOUCH OF HEARTS TRANSFORMED LIFE FOR SARAH AND HER FAMILY

Meet Sarah

Sarah is a beautiful, bright, and resilient young girl who lives with severe cerebral palsy. Her condition means she faces daily challenges that most of us can’t imagine. Sarah is completely dependent on those around her. She cannot walk, and her vision and hearing are limited. She also relies on PEG feeding, where she receives nutrition through a feeding tube.

Despite these challenges, Sarah’s infectious spirit and unique personality shine through, bringing immense love and joy to her family. For her parents, Maged and his wife, every moment with Sarah is precious, but the demands of her care have been a full-time commitment.

Facing the daily struggles of complex care needs

The Challenge

Caring for Sarah requires around-the-clock attention. For years, Maged and his wife lovingly managed every aspect of her care—feeding, bathing, dressing, and creating moments of comfort and happiness. But as devoted as they are, the physical and emotional toll of being full-time caregivers began to build.

They hadn’t taken a family holiday or had a meaningful break in years. The thought of leaving Sarah in someone else’s care felt overwhelming. They worried: Would anyone truly understand her needs? Could anyone care for her the way we do?

Finding comfort and trust through compassionate support

The Turning Point

Everything changed when Maged connected with Touch of Hearts and their compassionate caregiver, Vanitha. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Vanitha wasn’t just experienced—she genuinely cared.

Vanitha took the time to listen and learn about Sarah, understanding her routines, preferences, and unique needs. She approached Sarah’s care with compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication.

Creating a supportive partnership for peace of mind

Building Trust and Finding Relief

Maged and his wife slowly began to let go of their worries. They saw how Vanitha cared for Sarah—not just meeting her needs but going above and beyond to ensure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved.

What Vanitha Brought to Sarah and Her Family:

  • Gentle and Patient Care: Vanitha approached every task with kindness, whether it was feeding Sarah through her PEG tube, comforting her during quiet moments, or ensuring she was always clean and comfortable.
  • Connection and Joy: Sarah’s days became more than routines. Vanitha found ways to engage her, whether through soothing sounds, gentle interactions, or simply being present with her.
  • Reassurance for Maged and His Wife: Knowing Sarah was in good hands gave Maged and his wife something they hadn’t had in years—peace of mind.

A New Chapter for Sarah’s Family

With Vanitha’s support, Sarah’s parents experienced a transformation. For the first time, they felt confident enough to step away for a short while. “We hadn’t taken a holiday in years,” Maged shared. “But now, we can finally go, knowing Sarah is in the best hands.”Vanitha didn’t just care for Sarah; she became a trusted part of their family’s journey.
