Radhe Shyam

My name is Radhe Shyam, and I am a 65-year-old tea vendor. Life has never been easy, but the past few years have been the toughest. I suffered serious illnesses that made even the simplest tasks feel impossible. The local hospital didn't have the facilities to treat me, and the thought of going to a private hospital felt like a distant dream — something my family of five simply couldn't afford. There were days when I thought I wouldn't make it.

But then, like a ray of light in the darkest hour, a team member from the Uplift Live Foundation came to our area. During their outreach program, they told us about the Ayushman Card, and for the first time, I saw a glimmer of hope. Thanks to the Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh, I was admitted to a well-equipped hospital near my home. I received the treatment I had been desperately needing. The doctors cared for me with compassion; the support I received was beyond anything I had ever imagined.

After a month of treatment, I was discharged on January 17th, 2025, alive, hopeful, and filled with gratitude. I don't have big words, but I have a big heart full of thanks. I am deeply grateful to the Government of India, the Uttar Pradesh Government, the District Administration, the Health Department, and most of all, the Uplift Live Foundation. Without you, I don't know where I'd be today.

You gave me more than just medical care; you gave me the chance to live again. And for that, I will be thankful for the rest of my life. Thank you for standing by people like me when we need it the most.
