Hanamant faced discrimination because his mother Sarrobai contracted leprosy. He now devotes all his time to his work with the leprosy patients. His son, who now drives the auto, helps his parents by sharing a part of his daily earnings.“Hanamant and Basamma need Rs 12,000 to Rs 15,000 a month to purchase dressing materials to tend to the patients. Basamma nurses pregnant women with leprosy or the daughters of such patients in a hospital . The couple has also arranged for a private doctor to visit the colony once a week and tend to the 90-odd patients living there
