Home for the Aged (Run by The Little Sisters of the poor)

During the lockdown, in August we arranged to supply coffee powder, face mask, sanitizers & sanitizer stands.
We are looking forward to visiting them all but until then we are praying for each other and trusting God to clear the virus.

Construction Work
Wrinkle, Wrinkle, aged stars
We are so happy, you all came so far
U look like innocent children when you build up loving ties
You are simply adorable, our cutie pies
Wrinkle, Wrinkle, aged star
We are so happy, we came along with you so far.

The Home for the aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Mumbai was established in 1958. Since then hundreds of the elderly poor were taken care of with love and dedication. The Home runs solely on Public Charity and the generosity of the kind hearted people. Two Little Sisters venture out from house to house collecting funds either in cash or in kind for the welfare of the elderly who are under their care.

Due to heavy leakage in the ancient buildings and the crumbling walls it is necessary to build a new home for the elderly. With great difficulty the Home obtained the necessary permissions for demolition and for new construction. As it was impossible to keep all the elderly people during the construction work except the 40 sick and infirm Residents, they were sent to different Homes run by the Little Sisters of the Poor in India, to facilitate the construction work. It is already more than five years since these Residents are away and one can easily imagine their longing to return to their native place.

Monthly supply of ration is sent for the inmates of Jyothi’s Care center. However due to the lockdown and Covid scenario we have not been able to personally pay a visit to the inmates there, but are in constant touch with the Mother superior who is in charge of the inmates. Requirements are being fulfilled from our end and we are hoping to soon to visit them and spend quality time with the inmates.
