Srivatsan’s journey from Chennai to Toronto to find acceptance, find his partner Saravanan, and adopt their son Sendhan, highlights their struggles and triumphs as a gay couple.

Rajkumari Kinnar is a 55-year-old trans woman from Jharkhand. She has single handedly raised 8 orphaned children, and spends about 75 per cent of her earnings on the poor and needy.

From the Chennai 'Appa' who adopted HIV+ kids to the Mumbai woman who gave a home to abandoned strays, these heroes show what unconditional love truly means!

"Shutting down of restaurants and offices has completely stopped leftovers being discarded in garbage bins — a major source of food for strays. I could not bear to see them suffer and die. I had to help them, no matter what."

“Many with young HIV+ kids came to our door. I didn’t want to send anybody back. In the next 6 months, I had 26 children join the family. By 2010, I was a father to 55 children!”

When she was a little more than a year old, Amita told her about the adoption and her birth mother through stories and pictures.
