Remember those times when you are sick or recovering from illness, your body is so drained and even doing simple daily routines seems like a challenge. We being young know that it is just a temporary phase and we will soon be back with all our energy. With every passing day they physically get weak. Think from their mind. Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone they can reach out to in times of
need, who can help them do these little things? Someone who can take them to the doctor or just go deposit their utility bills. At times they are not well and need someone to call the doctor or just get their medicine from the chemist. There are times when just having someone stop by, or even giving a call and asking how they were doing will mean a lot to them. If we look around us we will see so many elderly whom we can support. Just a little act of kindness will say that the time they spent raising their kids hasn’t gone wasted. It will tell them that this young generation cares for them and is there when they need them. So the question is how you can help. We are looking for volunteers who can help by giving their time. We will connect our volunteers to elderly around their town. What you will need to do is just make a weekly visit to say hello and see if they are doing well. Check if you can take them out for a doctor’s visit or just help them deposit a bill. That is it. We do not think it will take more than an hour or two a week. If you think this is something we all should be doing and you would like to be a part of this, please reach out to us on [email protected] and we will get you started. If you know of an elderly around you, who you think might benefit from this please reach out to us with details and we will get them connected to our volunteers. We think our elderly have done their bit and now it is our turn. We are just getting started and I am sure there would be more like us who will like to join to say WE CARE.
