Meet Vandana,

Vandana’s journey is one of transformation—from pain to power, from loss to a newfound love for the present moment.

From a young age, Vandana took on the responsibility of supporting herself and her family.

The pain of this loss, compounded by the end of her marriage, marked a period of deep transformation. Vandana chose to walk away from a city filled with memories, seeking a new life where she could heal without constant reminders of her past.

The birth of her son brought a new kind of happiness, a reason to celebrate again. However, joy was fleeting as her mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor shortly after. Vandana navigated the heartbreaking reality of losing her mother while caring for her infant son. It was a period marked by a duality of emotions—the sorrow of her mother’s illness and the happiness her son brought. “The pain was the same,” she says, “but the expression was different.

Throughout her life, Vandana has learned the importance of relying on herself. “I never waited for a miracle,” she reflects. The bricks of her life were built by her own hands, piece by piece, as she learned that strength comes from within.
