“The
measure of Man’s greatness is not the number of servants he has but the number
of people he serves: John Hagee
I came across a good Samaritan who lost his friend
and business partner after twenty years during this pandemic in the
month of June. Mahender was very disturbed as he could not digest the fact that
his friend Mirza Jaffar could not visit the doctor, due to fear of COVID 19 and
he could not save him from COVID10. The fear was so much that by the time his
friend agreed to visit the doctor it was very late.
Mahender Reddy states that he and his family too were contracted
with COVID 19. But he sought treatment and were cured. He realized more
than the virus it was fears that was killing people and they were not going for
treatment. He felt there is stigma and discrimination attached to COVID and
people are afraid to even come out and help and support each other, even the
very close friends are frightened to take their near and dear ones to the
hospital.
These experiences led Mahender Reddy to reach out to those
around hime and he offered people a ride to the clinic where he himself has
taken treatment.He rides them to the
clinic and sometimes even pay for the patients treatment, some people offer
money for giving them the ride but he refuses as he does it for free and he
wants to help people is passionate about reaching out to those in need.
Mahender Reddy is an
example of those who shine in the darkness, with courage and commitment to help
the patients motivating them and enabling them to make a decision to take
medical help.
