Success Story

I cannot hear or speak, and I’m a slow learner. I struggled to find job opportunities and felt defeated. Then Miracle on Wheels welcomed me. They didn’t just teach me to dance—they gave me a stage to shine on. Today, I perform across India and internationally. My voice may be silent, but my dance speaks for me.

A government bus dragged me nearly a kilometer in a horrific accident. I was in a coma for months. When I regained consciousness, I had lost one leg and needed multiple surgeries. I thought my life was over. Then Dr. Pasha and Mahiraa entered my life. They gave me shelter, supported my education, and trained me in dance at Miracle on Wheels. Today, I dance while I study and have performed in Dubai, Singapore, and all over India. I am no longer broken—I am unstoppable.

My hands and legs shake. I cannot speak fluently, and I struggled to even hold a spoon. No one gave me a job because of my disabilities. I longed to dance and to earn a living. Miracle on Wheels gave me both. Today, I work with dignity, earn a respectable salary, and support not only myself but also my family. Thank you, Miracle on Wheels, for turning my life around.

Sandhya is a living testimony to the fact that disability and hardship cannot limit human potential. Affected by polio at a very young age, Sandhya lost her father early in life.
