Farewell to Chandra Mohan

24th June, 2010

The first home nursing patient of SISP, Chandra Mohan, passed away quietly last month. He was a wheelchair user, but in recent years became completely bedridden. Chandra Mohan was paralyzed below the diaphragm after a fall as roof repairer. He was sent home from the hospital with terrible sores.

He lived in a quite secluded place and, for more than eight years, Paul and Iman went almost daily to nurse his wounds. SISP had been helping to change his room to make it more accesible, had given a wheelchair and a water bed, medical care and borne his surgery costs.

Chandra Mohan was a very courageous and gentle man. Paul told us he never heard an angry word from him. He was quite often depressed by the hopelessness of his situation.

He and his wife thought of SISP with much affection. Paul, Iman, and a delegation of SISP, attended the Hindu cremation at his home.

His courage and warm humanity, the inner strength of his wife who stood by to him all those years, day after day, everyone will always remember.
