WILLS POINT, TX – Kishori’s journey from a child bride to a beacon of hope through GFA World’s leprosy ministry. See how faith and care changed her life.
Kishori married when she was only 7 years old, not knowing her in-laws had a life-altering secret.
When Kishori began living with her new family, she found out her mother-in-law and father-in-law had leprosy—a disease physically devastating to those without access to treatment, as well as socially stigmatizing.
Instead of despising her in-laws, as the rest of her society would, Kishori took care of them, shouldering most of the household chores.
At 15, she gave birth to her first child; it was her second pregnancy, however, that impacted her life in an even more marked way.
Isolated by Disease
During the pregnancy, Kishori’s legs started to swell, and boils appeared. At the hospital, doctors confirmed her suspicion: She had leprosy.
Because Kishori was pregnant, she couldn’t begin treatment. After her son’s birth, she started taking medication, but in the following years, three more pregnancies disrupted her treatment, and the disease spread.
