  leprosy 35 years ago. It started with patches
  all over her back and then her hand.

  help. The hospital stopped the leprosy from
  getting worse. However, Amina still has very bad
  hands and feet. This makes life very hard for
  her, and daily tasks are very dangerous.

Ten Healed of Leprosy
Luke Chapter 17 Verses 11 to 17

• Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. As he was
  going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met
  him. They stood at a distance and called out in a
  loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
   When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves
  to the priests." And as they went, they were
  healed.
• One of them, when he saw he was healed, came
  back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw
  himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him. Jesus
  asked, "Were not all ten healed? Where are the
  other nine? Then he said to him, "Rise and go
  your faith has made you well."
