Dr. R Balagurusamy, Chairman and Managing Trustee of Aishwaryam Trust says, "For the first year, we conducted medical camps and health awareness drives in remote villages around Madurai and offered medical support to orphanages."

Despite serving the poor and underserved during the spare time from their regular jobs, they were not seeing the requisite impact on the ground.

Initially, the Trust set up a care facility in a rented building in the city and paid for it by pooling their respective salaries.

"However, merely six months after we opened this facility, the owner of the building began issuing complaints about the odour emanating from the wards, and that the value of the land would fall due to the sick people housed there. They told us to pack up within six months. If we don't have land, what would happen to us? What would happen to our patients?" were just some of the questions, among many, says Dr. S Sabari Manikandan MD.

Fortunately, for these doctors-cum-social workers, there was help on the horizon in the form of R Jalaja, a 67-year-old retiree who had earlier worked at the Customs & Central Excise Department, and her husband K Janardhanan, 74, ex-AGM Telecom in BSNL.
