Angels at Work - Cheshire Home

In 1955 Captain Leonard Cheshire set up Cheshire Home in Mumbai to serve physically disabled people. It has about 50 inmatesand almost all of them are confined to wheelchairs. The sisters of the Missionaries of Christ Jesus run this home.

Joy, our therapy dog helps these men who are physically challenged (most of them are in wheelchairs) to improve fine and gross motor skills, wheelchair skills and standing balance. Having Joy visit them every weekend also helps to alleviate their loneliness and depression.
