Daughter To 120+ Elderlies, Yojana Is Filling Their Last Days With Hope.

    Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.

    Project

    Yojana Gharat knows what helplessness and isolation feels like. Having been brought up by the Missionaries Charity in Kolkata, she became extremely sensitive to others’ needs and always looked to help people. While she realized that there are hundreds of orphans like her, she also became painfully aware that there were countless others who had no access to help, care, or even shelter.


    That’s when Yojana began her journey of helping individuals who had no hope. For over 20 years now, Yojana has been working tirelessly to help provide a home and shelter to destitute senior citizens who had nowhere else to go. SMIT Old Age Home and Care Foundation was registered in 2017, and today has 126 seniors who are completely dependent on her. Both Yojana’s daughters are actively involved in the foundation and oversee various aspects of its functioning.


    Today, all the seniors living there are her extended family. Most of them are destitute, some suffer from mental illnesses and some have been abandoned. She takes care of all of them as her own and works hard every day to give them a better life than they had before. For them, she is a ray of hope during their darkest times. 


    However, the journey has not been without its share of hurdles. SMIT opened a second home in Wada, Maharashtra to extend its outreach. In time, the home had to shift from Wada to Panvel and finally Thane just so that the infrastructure and service standards for the elderly could be maintained.


    Yojana is insistent that she gives her senior family only the very best. While she takes care of all their needs like food and clothing, regular health checks and customized care form the larger chunk of everyday activities at SMIT. Other activities are undertaken based on the elderly person’s needs. However, Yojana’s greatest need today is provisions and groceries to feed the elderly. Her seniors also need surgical beds to help them sleep comfortably. During this time of uncertainty and economic instability, Yojana is struggling to take care of her extended family of seniors by herself. 


    She needs your help to feed them and get the surgical beds that will allow them to sleep comfortably. Your support to this cause can help provide safety, comfort, and care for 126 elderly people who have only Yojana to lean on. 

    About SMIT Foundation:Started by Yojana Gharat in 2017, SMIT Old Age Home And Care Foundation is a safe home for destitute and abandoned senior citizens. Here, they’re given the utmost love and all their needs are taken care of. Yojana currently takes care of 126 senior citizens in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, and is determined to give them a better life during their last years.
