When the suffering cannot step out, the blessed must step in: Love Beyond the Stairs
A severe left femur fracture left a 64-year-old patient in immense pain. The stairs of his walk-up flat made him truly someone who “could not step out.” Without the crucial intervention of physiotherapy, he might never have been able to walk again.
Over the past 5 months, the Tzu Chi Medical Home Care team and volunteers proactively “stepped in.” We walked alongside him, providing 4 home visits and 15 physiotherapy sessions. From needing close assistance to managing pain and safely navigating stairs, he can now walk longer distances!
Every step forward is built on persistence and compassionate care.
“When the unfortunate cannot find help, those who are blessed must go to them” —— Jing Si Aphorisms by Master Cheng Yen
