The old lady ordeal continue, for her and for us!

"The ordeal for the old lady, Koki Haldar … and also for us.
The problem is finding a place to house her. We have tried to find a proper room for rent on two occasions and both times the lady has had to be moved because she is unable to walk to the toilet and has to use a toilet pan. In the absence of someone to clean her and empty the pot, which in fact is the root of this problem, the room begins to stink and the neighbors are unable to put up with this.
It’s been impossible to find someone to do this work even though we are willing to pay Rs 1500 or more to anyone to do this and it is only a few times a day, hardly entailing half an hour’s work.

We have tried all the possible way, literally no one wants to do this no matter how much we are ready to pay for it. Still it is our duty to take care of her.
Right now we had to again built a shack or a plastic sheet sort of room in a slum and put her there. We have a care taker but she does not want to clean her, we are still looking for someone, in the meantime one of our worker is kindly doing the needful.

As with the old man written about earlier, hospitals are not willing to admit them.
They flatly refuse. we have tried various institutions and the answer is always the same. The head of one of the better known charitable hospitals flatly refused to admit the old man we took there advising our worker “not to take on such headaches which also cause so much inconvenience to others.” And horribly so this is what everyone does, anyone could be dying on the road and hundreds of people will just walk by.

The alternative is to just look the other way when we see someone dying on the road.
Not much of a choice is it?

It’s clear from her condition that Koki Haldar may not live long. She is in need of palliative care and from a few experiences we have had recently we can see that Vrindavan is in need of a place affording these sort of destitute with this sort of care.

We are confident that with some funds we could buy a small plot of land, (100 square metre) and build couple of small rooms with basic facilities.
If anyone wishes to extend support to this very much needed service to those who have nothing left when they come to Vrindavan than the air they breath, and the mercy of the Lord, please contact me. rupa@fflvrindavan.org
