Mumbai: Amid the nationwide lockdown, 60 senior citizens living in an old age home in the city are struggling to arrange meals for themselves.

According to Sacheen G Fattangare, a resident of Gurukrupa Ashram, ISKCON was providing meals for the inmates earlier. However, ISKCON now is unable to carry on the service because of the lockdown.

Meanwhile, the staff of the old age home are also not turning up because of the lockdown.

The old age home is running out of groceries and the inmates are unable to prepare meals for themselves.

The donation which the old age home used to get has also stopped because of the lockdown.

The helpless people have approached several authorities for help but are unable to get any relief.

On behalf of the helpless aged people, Fattangare has appealed to denizens to come forward and help them during this crisis.

Those who want to donate money can transfer it to the given account:

Shree Swami Samarth Seva Sanstha

YES Bank Ac No:-074094600000023

IFCS Code:-YESB0000740

Those who wish to send the grocery items or prepared food to the old age home can send it to this address:

Gurukrupa old age home

Plot no 132, Lane no. 7

Nandanvan Society, Sector – 17

Nerul East , Navi Mumbai – 400 706
