Growing up in service

Let me share the last little story: Life is about being encouraged and growing from challenges and pressures

Thanks again to the volunteers and recovered persons for relying on the power of hope to face everything in life

In the month of gratitude, we will share six short stories written by volunteers serving the "Matteo Ricci Social Service" and recovered patients living in leprosy rehabilitation homes. The theme is "Matteo Ricci Social Service". "Growing up in service" - an invisible and infinite force unites their hearts.

Welcome everyone to experience the story of growing up in the big family of RSS

Life is about being encouraged and growing from challenges and pressures

Thinking back to ten years ago, when I first came to the rehabilitation center, I was always so stupid. After a few months, I felt stressed because I always asked others for advice. I even thought about becoming a deserter. At this time, I received great encouragement from the team and affirmed my work: no one is worse than others.

Later, all the recovered patients were physically disabled and mentally strong, and their lives also affected me, especially when I was unwell.

In the past ten years, challenges and pressures have continued to arise. Fortunately, with the continuous improvement of services, there are also various kinds of help, both in terms of material and learning, and I have also jumped into the challenge together.

Build a bridge of love

"Look who they are? Keep it in our hearts and witness once again the hope of life for bind patients".

One day in September, volunteers from Matteo Ricci's social services received a contact from a hospital doctor. There was an inpatient with a special condition and wanted to apply for medical fee reduction. After contacting the patient, the volunteers required the patient to submit a referral certificate. After being able to assist in the application and learning that the patient's hospitalization deposit was borrowed, the volunteer found the Second People's Hospital from the county hospital and then contacted the municipal medical insurance and transferred the patient back to the Provincial Care Hospital. Multiple relays finally connected the patients with state aid and Matteo Ricci’s social service assistance funds.

And building this bridge is the best source of human beings.

Gratitude is action 💖💕💖💕

Since serving the recovered patients in 2006, I have heard, seen, and learned the mission of "I am not here to be served, but to serve others."🌟🌟🌟🌟

I changed my mind from talking about "hemp", and gradually developed into a brother-in-law with people who have recovered from leprosy. When we go out, the recovered patients are looking forward to, waiting for, and caring about us. When we came back, they went back to their rooms with peace of mind. When I was tired from work, seeing them all made me feel warm in my heart. When we come back, we will also buy them food and drinks, just like parents treat their children, full of love, which can only be shown in actions!

Matteo Ricci's leaders and staff at all levels also take action. Whether they come to visit the recovered patients and us, or when we go out to study or travel, they are all hands-on, regardless of their own hard work, and take extra care of us. What I experienced was the total love I felt for the recovered person. “Owe no one any more except to love one another, for whoever loves another has fulfilled the law” (Romans 13:8).
