For a mother who has spent her entire life loving and raising her child, being beaten and mercilessly thrown out onto the streets by her own son is too heartbreaking to overcome. But this is a common story among the elderly residents of the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. “I’ve seen mothers in old and torn clothes, their bodies smelling and their hands and feet rotting and covered in maggots,” shares Dr. G.P. Bhagat, founder of the ashram. These abandoned elderly men and women lay starving on the streets hoping for someone to rescue them from their suffering. But most people walk past them without a second glance. “Like this”, Dr. Bhagat explains, “many elders die on the roads.”Since 2003, SHEOWS (Saint Hardyal Educational and Orphans Welfare Society) has rescued over 10,000 elderly people from the streets and given them a home with care and support. The elderly staying at the ashram have all been abandoned by their families and have nowhere else to live. Your support can give them comfort after their abandonment.

Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. This includes constant care and round-the-clock medical attention, nutritious food and maintaining a hygienic environment to keep the seniors in comfort and good health. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

Our NGO partner is a sanctuary where cows, bulls, retired racehorses, and many other animals find not just shelter but a true home. At ISKCON's Govardhan Eco Village, every life is sacred and deserving of love, care, and respect. Here, animals are embraced instead of being seen as a burden. The dedicated and compassionate team truly believes they deserve a life of dignity too.However, the NGO depends on public support to provide the best care to animals. Sustaining this refuge of compassion requires resources for food, housing, medical care, and the dedicated hands that make it all possible. Your support can help ensure that no animal under this roof ever experiences fear or deprivation.

Unburdened by the demands of milking cycles, they graze contentedly, forming close bonds with the caretakers who tend to their every need. Through this work, the NGO and its team strives to show the world that true service is not about what one takes from nature but what one gives back.“At Govardhan Eco Village, we don’t ask how gaumata (cows) can benefit us. We ask how we can keep gaumata happy,” says Gaurang Das, renowned spiritual leader and ISKCON Governing Body member.And it’s not just cows that this NGO serves. When a racehorse’s racing days are over, its value in the eyes of the industry vanishes, and they are painfully put out. Govardhan Eco Village has become a home for many of these majestic creatures who would have otherwise met a sad end. Here horses roam freely across lush pastures, a life without the constant abuse. With expert veterinary care, balanced nutrition, and gentle rehabilitation, each horse learns to trust again and to thrive in a peaceful environment.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/3ca82071-b2c2-4e98-b258-9b77e9298762.webp" />Male calves born on dairy farms often face immediate culling or abandonment simply because they cannot produce milk. At Govardhan Eco Village, they welcome them with open arms. Instead of a cruel fate, these young bulls grow up surrounded by affection, safe from harm and provided with the highest quality feed and medical attention. As they mature, they become symbols of hope, reminding us that every living being has intrinsic worth.Give the gift of life and love to those who cannot ask for it in words.

Photos from the Ground

The CARE trauma centre successfully treated two dogs with tumor growths: A. Ronnie had a large tumor on his right hind leg that impaired his mobility. Radiographs showed that the tumor did not damage the bone. The tumor was removed and Ronnie recovered well after the surgery. He can now run and walk normally.B. Monty had a massive growth on his neck that prevented him from eating or drinking. A thorough examination of the tumor was done to assess its extent and malignancy. Biopsy results were negative. The surgery was challenging due to the location of the tumor, but Monty survived and healed well. He can now enjoy his food and run freely.

On an average, the CARE trauma centre receives 180-200 Accident cases of dogs every month, of that at least a 100 cases require intensive and critical care monitoring. These are dogs that have either undergone a major surgery and require dedicated post-operative care or dogs brought in to the facility in a very critical and fragile condition. All of them need to be monitored round the clock, oxygen levels, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. where fluctuations could even cause death.CARE's critical care support unit has the best available equipment that will maintain the condition of these animals on an hourly basis with dedicated and trained personnel to record the progress of the cases.The Unit has Oxygen Concentrators to maintain a continuous supply of oxygen , Patient Monitors for blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, temperatureICU maintaining cages, specially designed that allows the equipment to be attached to the cage.And the best veterinary team in place.The most important factor is the number of critical CARE cases attended to and lives saved. 
 Each Inpatient admitted requiring critical care will be first administered emergency and immediate treatment include stabilization with IV fluids, pain management, wound care &amp; bleeding control and so on. This is followed by investigations for diagnosis like blood tests, x rays, ultrasound and so on. Once a diagnosis is made, the treatment required is initiated which includes medications and/or surgeries and long term housing until recovery. We do this for about 100 animals every month. Each case costs approximately a minimum of Rs 5000 for all the above. 
 With this project we can save the lives of over 3 animals per day, 100 animals per month and 1200 animals per year, who are critically ill or injured , fighting desperately for their lives.

Critical Care Fund for Street Animals

On India Philanthropy Day, GIVE.DO is giving us matching funds for all donations that come in during a 24 hour period on July 19th. If we have one day to raise funds, what would we raise it for? The answer is very easy. We would do it for the medical treatment of street animals who come in grievously injured to our trauma care facility. CARE does not charge a mandatory fee to reporters admitting animals. In a majority of cases, the responsibility of raising funds for these animals is borne by CARE. Each case requires a minimum of Rs 3000/- to run all the basic diagnostic tests, initiate treatment depending on the condition, provide the animal nutritious food and shelter until he/she heals and are ready for release. Your contribution to this fundraiser will help these animals who have no one behind them, except us. One Day. One Goal. Let's Save a 100 animals together!

There are a total number of 3,00,000 dogs in Bangalore as per the BBMP Census 2019. Given the numbers, it also means that the number of stray dogs suffering from injuries and illnesses, unattended on the street is also high. As validation to the fact, the CARE helpline receives over 200 calls a day. The current capacity of our treatment facility is for about 100. This gap in numbers, results in a back log that cases a subsequent delay in treatment and in some circumstances costing precious lives that could have been saved with timely treatment. 
 The approach at CARE to improve the lives of street animals is by running 2 helplines, 3 ambulances, a fully equipped trauma care unit, finding homes for some of them and sheltering those who have nowhere else to go. The need to establish CARE stemmed from the realisation that the existing healthcare facility for these nobody’s animals was inadequate. So the heart of our work has always been trauma care. The goal was to provide the best of veterinary services to all animals that come to our gates, irrespective of their ownership status and so the focus and emphasis remains on upgrading our trauma care facility. 
 Our Current Concern and Prerogative is to undertake capacity building, as we have all other resources but seem to be facing a space crunch. Hence, our goal is to expand our currently existing facility to circumvent this issue, where dogs die not due to the severity of their illness but mainly due to the delay in receiving treatment, which is a bigger tragedy that is entirely avoidable.To overcome this, we are looking at moving our existing isolation facilty to a newer location close to the main facility and make use of the vacated space to expand our trauma care and make room for more dogs. If we are able to raise funds to do this, we will be able to impact the lives of 200 dogs at any given point of time.We hope to stay true to our motto of no dog left behind, by pushing our boundaries, thereby inching closer to our goal of universal coverage for our city’s dogs.
