Never alone in fight with fate

In a world that celebrates speed, perfection, and convention, some journeys are not loud; they are long, quiet battles waged every day.

- GUJARAT

This is the story of four such journeys of Drashti, Dhairya, Dhurva, and Riken. Born with different mental or physical challenges, their stories could have ended in silence. But they didn't. Because behind them stood mothers who refused to let life write their children off.

Drashti: Born in silence, raised in spirit
Drashti didn't cry when she was born. Doctors told her parents she was mentally challenged. Physiotherapy and speech therapy became a lifeline, but watching their child go through painful routines was heartbreaking.

Drashti didn't give up. Neither did her parents. By six, she was walking and speaking. After facing rejection from mainstream schools, she joined a special school. Dance, crafts, garba, anything creative lit her up. Soon, she was winning competitions, earning over 100 awards.

Today, she designs torans, rakhis, pen stands, and other decorative items, which she sells independently.
