Manjeshwar: On September 15, 2021, a 27-year-old individual named Imthiyas was rescued by the Snehalaya team from the streets of Manjeshwara. He was subsequently admitted to the Snehalaya Psychosocial Rehabilitation Centre for Men for ongoing care and treatment due to mental health issues, including mental retardation.

During his stay, Imthiyas received dedicated care from the Snehalaya team. With support from Shraddha Mumbai, efforts were made to locate his family for the reunion process.

On December 23, 2023, Imthiyas' family from Bellary arrived at Snehalaya Manjeshwar to reclaim their son after seven years of separation. His parents, sister, and aunt were visibly joyful at the reunion. Imthiyas' return became a special Christmas gift for the family. They expressed deep gratitude to Brother Joseph Crasta, the founder of Snehalaya, for his nurturing care, and acknowledged the efforts of Snehalaya and the Shraddha Centre in the successful reunification of their son.
