Hi, 

After having connected Deepmala to Aijaz, brother of Reshma who is undergoing treatment at Bombay Hospital, we have also connected her to Haseena, who, is also an acid attack survivor and our in-house counsellor at MakeLoveNotScars. 

Deepmala has zero vision at present, but is able to see flashes of light when light is shown at her. She has hopes of regaining her vision, but first must undergo surgery to reconstruct her eye-lids after the current break.

Haseena has been counselling Deepmala saying that she must not lose hope and even if she does not regain her eyesight, she can use audio aids to learn computers and become independent like Haseena. Deepmala has a B.Ed degree and hence, rehabilitation should not be difficult.

Once we have had a few more rounds of conversation and Haseena is friendly with Deepmala, we can request for a call to be organised with Deepmala. Our next update, we will try to share the phone conversation with you. 

Please do let us know if you need any further information or update about Deepmala, and we will be happy to provide. Thank you so much for your contribution and support. 

Regards,
Bhagirath
