While motherhood in itself comes with a lot of responsibilities, the challenges increase multifold when one is raising a disabled child. For Sejal Shah, raising a specially-abled daughter is not a challenge but a source of inspiration to impact the lives of disabled children

“Each day I hope that Viha will come, talk to me, hug me and tell me to go shopping, chat with me like a normal kid, hope makes you go on, hope is life”, says Sejal Shah as her eyes twinkle talking about the moments she hopes to spend with her 23-year-old daughter Viha, someday.
Sejal considers Viha to have the heart of a fighter. Sejal was pregnant with twins but due to complications in pregnancy, she lost Viha’s twin, but Viha survived. Viha as a baby had to be put in the ICU for 100 days due to premature birth. The loss in her vision due to retinal detachment was diagnosed soon after.
