Help required for old peoples home in Mumbai

Dr. Dossibai & Jehangir Ratanshaw Dadabhoy Charity Trust is a well established Parsi charitable trust. They run the old peoples home which is located in the Masina Hospital compound, Byculla for aged Parsi men and women.

It is an excellent facility for our older Parsi folks. The home is clean, the food is very good and the inmates are well looked after. However like most such institutions they are in urgent need of funds as their building is old and needs repairs as well as for general upkeep and maintenance.

This is an appeal to all trusts and individuals who can provide some financial assistance especially since there are very few such institutions left in Mumbai for the elders of our community.

I have mediclaim for Rs.2,20,000/- (Rupees Two lacs twenty thousand only) for my entire family from which I had avail cash less facility whose limit is already over. The balance hospital bill I have paid by taking loan from my friends and neighbours, which I have to pay back. Further she has to be operated for her thigh and pelvic bones, which will further cost me Rs. 2,50,000/- approx. Total estimate of her treatment with 2 operations will come upto Rs.7,50,000/- approx.
