Every day, elderly parents are left alone on the streets, at train stations, or even outside temples. Many are sick, struggling with age-related problems, and have no money or family to turn to. Some suffer for weeks or months before anyone notices their pain. The heartbreaking truth? They were abandoned by their own families.Although Indian law requires children and relatives to care for senior citizens, many elders still face neglect, abuse, and abandonment. The problem is only getting worse.But there is hope. Our dedicated NGO partners work day and night to rescue these forgotten elders. They provide safe shelter, medical care, nutritious meals, and most importantly—love and respect. Through old age homes across the country, our partners give these seniors a chance to live their remaining years with dignity, comfort, and peace.You can make a difference. Your donation will help our NGO partners:<ul><li>Rescue homeless elders from the streets</li><li>Provide shelter, food, and medical care</li><li>Restore their faith in humanity with kindness and support</li></ul>No elder should spend their final years alone and suffering. Your generosity can give them a fresh start. Donate today and help an abandoned senior citizen find safety, care, and hope.

Help Disabled Children with Shelter & Care

65-year-old Shakuntala completely depends on our partner NGO, Share and Care, for her food requirements, as she has no one else to take care of her. “When my only child was young, my husband Nadesan died. It was just me and my young son. After my son got married, he left me to stay with his in-laws, and I was alone. I am old, have pain in my legs, knees, shoulders and my entire body so I cannot work as I once did. But the food rations such as the nuts, lentils, wheat flour and rice I receive from Share and Care help me tremendously and I can eat well every day,” she says. Share and Care helps hundreds of abandoned grandparents, most of them being elderly women. The senior citizens belong to tribal communities and have limited access to necessities such as food and medicines to stay alive and well. This Shivratri, you can help with food and other essentials. Support them.

They suffer from hunger, sight and hearing failure, diabetes, high blood pressure and other medical conditions. As they cannot work and support themselves because of old age, they cannot afford medicines or even clothing. So, they remain poor and alone. Share and Care’s mission Since 1984, Share and Care has been caring for disadvantaged groups of people, including elderly parents who have been living in poverty after being abandoned by their children. The founders, a couple named Carmel and Arokiasamy, aim to eliminate poverty and the suffering of the poor through social welfare programs and education. To achieve this mission, Share and Care runs a program in Chennai and also a village in Tiruvallur, where the 400 elderly live. This program ensures that every month, the 400 senior citizens have dry food rations, medicines and medical care, clothes, physiotherapy, geriatric counselling and other services to nurture them back to good physical health. Need for the fundraiserOne of the founders, Carmel Arokiasamy, shares that the abandoned elderly parents who live in extreme poverty without food or anyone to care for them constantly think about their children and ask, “Did we do something wrong?” Arokiasamy shares that from the time their children are born, they take care of them in such a special way. But when their children abandon them, they weep and cannot stop thinking about them. While dealing with this emotional distress, they are also suffering from hunger and disease. But cannot afford food and medicines. Donate now to help Share and Care provide the abandoned elderly with dry food rations, medical supplies, a medical and eye camp, counselling, clothes, blankets and recreational activities to live their lives with a positive outlook, despite their circumstances.Your donation can provide these elderly parents with their most basic and urgent needs. “Please support our work because this is for the elderly parents who are in great need. These grandparents are bedridden. They need care, love and support”.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support Share and Care in their mission to provide food, medicines, counselling and personal care to 400 abandoned grandparents living in poverty.

Basanti Deb, 78, from Durganagar, Tripura, faced immense emotional and health challenges after her husband's death. With her daughter struggling financially to support the family, Basanti was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Agartala for treatment and care. After her recovery, Basanti's daughter approached Abhoy Mission seeking a safe shelter for her mother. Since arriving at Abhoy Mission in 2017, Basanti’s life has gradually transformed. With regular medical care, counselling, yoga sessions, and physiotherapy support, she became calmer, healthier, and more emotionally stable. Abhoy Mission's commitment extends beyond supporting the elderly. In FY 2025-26, the fundraiser supported the renovations of Abhoy Mission's shelter home, benefiting 91 individuals, including children with special needs and destitute elderly persons. The improved infrastructure will enhance accessibility, safety, and comfort, enabling residents to move freely and access essential services with greater dignity and independence. While significant progress has been made, some renovation work is still pending. Your continued support can help us complete the remaining improvements and create a fully accessible, safe, and dignified space for all residents. Donate now.

Annual Report

In Tripura, there lies a one-of-a-kind shelter home where the aged rest while watching the young play. Abhoy Mission has taken upon itself the immense challenge of caring for both the abandoned elderly and children with disabilities, but we need your help to continue doing so! In the period April '25 - September '25, we have made renovations to our beloved shelter home, including wall plastering, ramp construction for easy movement of the elderly, tile fitting, construction of disabled-friendly washrooms, grills, door, and shutter fitting, railing work, and electrification. We aim to make our shelter home more accessible to our inmates, but we urgently require additional funds to do so. The stories and lives of each of our 91 inmates at Abhoy Mission are as diverse as they are cherished. Your contributions go a long way toward ensuring our sustained intervention. Please help us continue to make these stories every passing day. Ensure these children with disabilities continue to be able to play with their newfound nanas and nanis. Donate now.

Every life we save is a real person with hopes, dreams, and aspirations. When life turns them down the wrong path, we find them and bring them back. Take the case of Rudra Beddarma (name changed). When we found him, he was starving, stinking, and homeless. Noticing his terrible state, our dedicated workers took him back to our shelter home, cleaned him, fed him, and provided medical care. After his recovery, we learned that he had absconded from his family, who refused to take him back. Rudra thus became a permanent member of our family. We are happy to declare the change in Rudra's life since he joined us at Abhoy Ashram. He has a renewed zest for life and enjoys participating in the community. Although old age is finally catching up with him, he engages in yoga classes, physiotherapy sessions, and takes medication, all provided free of cost. We are immensely proud of his turnaround and newfound comfort, and look forward to caring for him all throughout his final years. But the very home that shelters Rudra and countless others like him is under threat. We need your help to construct a new shelter home to care for our growing number of beneficiaries. Please extend our reach and ensure that cases like Rudra's don't go unnoticed. We all have a right to live our lives with dignity. Together, anything is possible. Donate now and save lives.

A profound thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Our little home is a beacon of hope to the scores of helpless souls in our care. Our generous donors allow us to continue our mission by providing the funds necessary to manage, maintain, and expand our operations. Apart from the food and supplies provided to our beneficiaries, we take pride in their living conditions. As such, we need your help to renovate our shelter and give these abandoned elderly a home where&nbsp;they can maximize their well-being. The work is well underway but we can't finish it without securing additional funds! Work has already been completed on the third-floor roof and ramp roof. Completing the sidewalls would finish our project and dramatically boost our beneficiary's quality of life. Donate now and change the world for the better.
