Mind or Mobility in Dystrophy is an organization of people who believe in the dynamics of the mind and overcome the stillness of their body. Muscles give shape, strength and flexibility to the body. Mind is a group of sufferers of muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy that cause these muscles to degenerate. By supporting each other, Mind strives to make their beneficiaries grow, study and make a living by maximizing their employmental opportunities.
Imagine not being able to do things on your own, not being able to get up, walk, eat and perform basic needs without assistance …..Every healthy person should think – what if this happens to us ……… Some conditions and experiences should not only be heard, but should be experienced by oneself to that condition, to the problems, in order to see the intensity of this disease at least once in our mind.
Sitting in pain, unable to sweep away the swarms of ants that crawl freely into your own body and imagine the situation of taking a bath and performing basic necessities once in a week. Just visualise these situations in your mind ….. Unfortunately there is a group of people who are going through these untold stages of life.
The children who need to be the sunshine of tomorrow to the society, the smart young people who need to invigorate the society of today, the energetic middle-aged people who dream of a better tomorrow by illuminating the country and the house are all the treasures of the Mind. Amongst the fulfillment of mind and the vibrant colours of flowers that spread happiness though their body is not allowed to fly, they dream of a new world in their mind.Mind prepares its members especially the children who are just beginning to learn, for those who have dropped their education out halfway through their studies and for new livelihoods too.
The problem that many of these people face today is about the future of these sufferers as they move forward in life who are now under the care of their father or mother.Who will be their after the time of their parents to look after them or how to move forward without anyone, without a guardian, without being looked after ? At this juncture it signifies the need of our dream home ‘Oridam’ to guard and care each one of them.
A place to live quietly and happily is the dream of any ordinary person. Rather being within the four walls, ‘Oridam’ becomes the strength of the minds of those who are confined to themselves without seeing the outside world.It is a place where like-minded people, in the same situation, see the vast, open sky of happiness together and conquer their new dreams.
A new community of happy and healthy people is being formed here, where the continuing learning opportunities and self-employment opportunities including nursing care and physiotherapy unit, come together under one umbrella.
When one enter the vast space of freedom, greenery and flowers from the physical state, everything that is stationary there will begin to move again…….All it takes is ‘Oridam’ … a vast space with no isolation an place where love, care, life and sharing take place .It’s a place of progressive care with compassion.
Mobility in Dystrophy (MIND) Trust was formed in 2017, by us patients suffering from Muscular Dystrophy (MD) & Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). In 2016, we started off as a small Whatsapp group of patients reaching out to each other.
With enthusiastic employees and volunteers, we are ready to support you no matter any time.
