Lend a helping hand to an NGO for old age persons in Mumbai

OLD age is a time of life that people look forward to since it gives them the chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor which includes spending time with their children, raising their grandchildren and living in a state of financial independence. To create a comfortable living situation in one’s retired years is the reason many people work hard throughout their young and middle aged decades. For most people, their lives are considered fortunate if their old age is spent in peace, good health and surrounded by loved ones. 

 

But far too often, people are not able to attain this simple yet elusive aim. In many households, senior citizens are looked upon with scorn or annoyance once they reach an age during which they can no longer be of any help to anyone. In other words, their “usefulness” has worn out. When this happens, their lives no longer have any meaning or purpose anymore. What was once a dream to live a dignified life with relatives often turns into a nightmare for seniors who find themselves in a hostile environment with people who longer want them.

 

What happens to “unwanted” elders?

What happens to elders who are unwanted by their families is nothing short of tragic. In many cases, the adult children of elders no longer want to take care of them due to financial reasons. Regarding their aged parents as a financial burden, these children begin to resent their parents or grandparents and start to neglect them. This involves ignoring them, not feeding them, not giving them medical attention and refusing to engage with them. These elders are sometimes locked away in rooms where they spend weeks or months alone in an environment resembling a prison. 

 

In some other households, elders might be in possession of money, jewellery, property or other valuables that their relatives want to get their hands on. Because of this, these elders are often beaten, kicked, punched or even murdered just to gain possession of these valuables. Elder abuse that is criminal is a serious issue which is often overlooked due to such acts being a “family affair”. But in such a situation, the local authorities, a police official or an NGO for old age individuals can rescue mistreated seniors and make sure a safe and secure environment is prepared. 

The role of an NGO for old age persons

In India, an NGO for old age seniors plays an important and life-saving role for the more than 100 million senior citizens in India who might need their help. An NGO for old age people is staffed by a team of compassionate and brave individuals who patrol the streets searching for old and destitute individuals who are on the streets and in need of help. Jeevan Anand Sanstha is an NGO for old age individuals that does exactly this. Once the homeless elders have been rescued, they are brought to Jeevan Anand Sanstha where they are in a safe and welcoming home. 

 

As an NGO for old age people that focuses on rehabilitating from the trauma of being abused and abandoned, Jeevan Anand Sanstha provides safe shelter, nutritious and regular meals each day, medicines for their ailments, access to doctors and hospitals and personal support to help them recover from the pain of being abused and abandoned by their loved ones. In providing all of these services to elders in desperate need of a helping hand, this Mumbai-based NGO for old age individuals is transforming and healing lives.

 

The noble mission of an NGO for old age persons

Jeevan Anand Santha is an NGO for old age persons that was founded in Mumbai by Sandip Parab. From the time it was founded in 2013, the organization has rescued and transformed the lives of more than 3,000 elders in need of rescue and care. The organization believes in not just tending to the basic needs of rescued elders, but in transforming their outlook on their lives through care, affection and the hope that Jeevan Anand Sanstha will be there to take care of them for the rest of their lives. This gives them hope, which is one most valuable to them.  

 

When speaking to a team from give.do who visited the NGO for old age persons, he shared “just imagine the plight of an elderly mother who, despite coming from a well-to-do background is compelled to live the life of a beggar on city streets. The condition of elderly women who have been abandoned by their children is the worst because they face so many problems and threats on the streets. They are starving on the streets with festering wounds and incapable of even moving.” But through Jeevan Anand Sanstha, Sandip is able to be the son they never had.
