These Abandoned Elderlies Deserve A Healthy, Happy Life, Donate To Support Them

“My children consider me a burden now. They hardly call and ask how I am doing. All my life I had cared for them, looked after them and cooked what they wanted to eat and now my sons don’t have a place for me in their homes. I am just like worn-out furniture that they can throw away.” - Shanti Devi*, Ramlal Old Age Home resident.  

These stories of neglect, abandonment and heartbreak bring tears to our eyes. Hundreds of elderly people are abused and left to fend for themselves during the last few years of their lives; a time when they’re supposed to be taken care of and supported. But while their own families refuse to take care of them, several kind-hearted souls have come forward to support them. 

Situated on the banks of Yamuna, Ramlal Old Age Home is one such place  

For the last 12 years, Ramlal Old Age Home is a safe haven for hundreds of senior citizens who have nowhere to go. They provide safe, spacious, furnished rooms for their residents with attached washrooms and personal assistants to help them move about, bathe, eat, etc. Around 350 old men and women call this their home and here they are treated like family. 

The old age home has also made arrangements to keep the elderly mentally active and prevent depression including cow cuddling sessions, park visits, satsang bhavan, etc. They also provide wholesome and nutritious meals to keep the residents physically healthy and nourished. There is also a 24/7 facility to take care of the medical needs of elderly residents. 

“These elderlies are in constant need of nutritious food so that they can stay healthy. We try our best to give them fresh vegetables, fruits, and a vitamin-rich diet but often it’s not enough,” - a caretaker at the old age home. 

Ramlal Old Age Home along with Donatekart have joined hands to give these senior citizens the life they deserve.

Vitamins are an essential part of our diet, especially for senior citizens, who are immuno-compromised. While Vitamin C helps in boosting immunity, Vitamin D helps builds stronger bones. 

Ramlal Old Age Home with the help of Donatekart want to provide healthy meals as well as vitamin supplements to its residents.

You can join hands with Ramlal Old Age Home and give its 350 residents a life of comfort and happiness, that is free from sickness and ailments. This is your chance to donate meals and vitamin supplements to the senior citizens and bring back their lost smiles. Every donation will make a world of difference.
