TAKE A LOOK AT THIS..
Dear warm-hearted stranger,
I am an 83-year-old man and my wife is 70 years old. We had one daughter, who didn’t find enough space in her home to dump us. I am saying 'had' because although she is alive and doing very well, we are dead for her.
We really worked hard making ends meet to give our daughter the best. In turn she along with her husband left us on the railway platform. With no shelter, no home, no food, and no money, those were the darkest days of our life.
It was Janaseva, a GiveIndia certified NGO that came to our rescue, gave us medical treatment and made us feel like a part of their family. I thank donors like you who make it possible for old people like us to lead a decent dignified life.
Yours gratefully,
Mr. and Mrs. Punate
ABSTRACT
The above words are said by a abandoned father and mother who was left by their own daughter in a railway station to suffer because they were OLD to her...Well this is just one incident among 100’s in this modern world. We can see a lot of suffering old people wherever we look. Who is responsible for this???Are there any ways we can help these suffering people???Well through this seminar I am trying to find a way through which we can help such people…
God's Plan is that old age be the crowning glory of a person's lifetime. The Word of God shows that old age can have promise, productivity, vitality, confidence, and a great deal of happiness, providing that spiritual preparation has taken place during the younger years.
“Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you have not committed”- Anthony Powell
But reality is many people have a tremendous dread of growing
