A leprosy diagnosis is like a “death sentence” and often means utter rejection and isolation that is more painful to endure than the disease itself. Often left untreated because of stigma, leprosy can cause crippling debilitation and leave its victims unable to perform everyday tasks. You can help provide lifesaving help and hope to people whose lives have been upended by leprosy—especially those cast out by their families.
Sisters of the Cross offer loving help for leprosy patients’ everyday needs, alleviating their suffering and offering the hope found in Christ. Your gift will enable our teams to bring Christ’s love, compassion and care to these precious people, and it will touch the heart of God, Who loves them dearly.
