We all have suffered some form of depression at some time in our lives.  Maybe a loved one died, and left us feeling empty, maybe a traumatic abuse situation led to a traumatic divorce, and then, maybe it is just the drabby weather!  Who know how and who gets affected to what degree?!  Yet in today's world, Depression is becoming a leading cause of Disability and Deaths.  Depression Is A Disease Just As Horrific As Any Other Disease Such As Cancer, Yes, I am comparing it to Cancer, Because Just as Cancer eats away at your insides, do does Depression.  The only Difference is you can see the cancerous cell and tumours, but quite often Depression is hidden behind a veil, unnoticed, undetected. Isn't it an awful cyle, apparently, according to the latest medical experts, Depression can lead to Cancers, Diabetes, and Many Other Diseases.

So, I strongly believe that promoting Awareness regarding Depression and its related Diseases will be a first step to Remove The Stigma attached to any emotional or mental related diseases. A Disease Is A Disease, Just Has Different Names, So Why The Social Stigma? Why The Label, Such as "Cracked" Or "Mental Case" Etc.?  This disease, Depression, (if caught early) is treatable with the right medications, and treatments, again, the word Rehabilitation, comes into play, TMS therapy and treatments etc. rehabilitate the individual to the extent that the individual can at least function on a regular basis, and become self-dependant. Aahh, the feeling of Freedom, that is being Self-Dependant.!!

In a country like India, where no one has time for depression, specially the poor, many atrocities are being committed to these people suffering from this disease. The girls and women with any kind of disability are abused, neglected, raped, mentally and physically tortured, and are forced to become either beggars, or are showcased as someone to be stared at, like a money taught to do a few tricks.  It is so awful, that when a child is born with a physical deformity, that child is killed immediately by the parents.  Imagine the emotional impact of killing one's own child, what emotional or mental suffering will that lead to?  These are just tip of the ice-berg so to speak, as examples that I am relating. You cannot begin to imagine the kinds of disabilities that are in the world, just now the Western world is promoting awareness of Mental disabilities, now, imagine, in progressive countries, the disabilities are now being acknowledged.  Can you imagine what the situation is like in the poor countries where people are just striving to live on a $1.00 - $2.00 a day?  WoW!!  If people like us, who are educated, and are able to do something about this situations, if we do not reach out our hands to uplift the people with disabilities suffering in India, who will?  Will you help me help them?  

 It is imperative that a Medical Rehab Facility, a Technologically based, a One Stop Centre, for the People with Disabilities, be implemented as soon as possible, so that the suffering can stop and healing can occur, and Peace and Prosperity can reign again.

Will you be the Miracle to these People with Disabilities, Disabilities that have many many suffering and tortured faces?  If Nothing Else, I am sure you can give $1.00 a day, and your Blessings.  Please Vote and Donate - "New Independence New Abilities" Rehabilitation for People with Disabilities, and Become a Miracle in Their Lives.

Thank you.

In the Spirit of Humanity,
