Help Susmita De give a safe home to 28 abandoned elderly and 65 children with special needs

Shailabata Bhakta is 96 years old. Her son’s death devastated her, and then she was starved and abused by her daughter-in-law who threw her out of the house. “I lost my family, which is the most important thing to me”, she shares. Shailabata Bhakta has been living at the Abhoy Mission Ashram for 15 years and has found a family in the other elderly and special-needs children of the home. Abhoy Mission Ashram is unique in many ways. It not only cares for 28 neglected elderly people, it also has 65 special-needs children in the same campus. The elderly feel at home with the children. 

But the NGO needs your support to save their home, which is in a dilapidated condition and it could crumble any time. Donate now.

A second chance for the abandoned elderly and disabled children

Senior citizens living at the Abhoy Mission Ashram were abandoned by their families on the streets, forcing them to beg for scraps of food. They are helpless without support. While they have been deprived of life with their children and grandchildren, Abhoy Mission gives them an opportunity to at least be with the children.

The Abhoy Mission Ashram gives them a home, nutritious food, medical care and the opportunity to live their lives knowing that someone cares for them. The special-needs children also enjoy getting attention and affection from the elderly. Take the case of children like Rahul, who is hearing-impaired and mentally challenged. He receives nutritious food, counselling and medical care. After coming here he has started to speak on his own and interacts well with the other children. His life has been transformed. He also gets the care of the elderly, just like his grandparents used to do when they were around.

“We came up with this unique idea to fight the loneliness of the elderly. And the children get grandparents. They enjoy the company so much that they can’t live without each other after some time,” says Susmita De, Secretary of Abhoy Mission.

The Abhoy Mission Ashram is the only home for the abandoned elderly and disabled children. Their home is in a dilapidated condition and they need your help to rebuild it. Donate now.

Need for the fundraiser

Susmita De of Abhoy Mission shares that the home is a one-of-a-kind place where the rejected elderly and children find comfort in each other. “It is the only home that these disadvantaged elderly and children have, but it is in a dilapidated condition. The walls of the home are crumbling and each time it rains, water leaks from the roof and damages the structure of the home,” says Susmita, and it needs urgent repair. To continue caring for these neglected senior citizens and children, Abhoy Mission aims to complete the construction of their new home before the monsoon season to ensure that the residents can continue to have a safe, secure and loving home.
