by Kanan James NGO INDIA
When you decide to sponsor grandparents, who are in dire need of all the help they can get, you ensure that you improve the quality of life of someone who might not have been able to make it through if it had not been for your kindness of sponsoring them. There are a number of senior citizens who are suffering from health issues and monetary problems and my simply sponsoring them, you gift them a healthier and happier life as well.

Sponsoring a life is not essentially a new concept but what might confuse people is how this sponsoring will actually end up helping a particular life? Here are a few ways in which sponsorships truly helps the cause of the elders.

Rations - One of the many things these destitute elderly citizens suffer from is hunger and more often than not due their need and want to fulfill this hunger of theirs, they are reduced to begging for food across signals and houses. This is far from what anyone wants for themselves, let alone a person who might even be suffering from various health ailments due to their age. A sponsorship can help put an end to that and restore their lost dignity.

On a monthly basis, thanks to the sponsorships that come in, senior citizens are provided with basic rations like wheat, pulses, rice, oil for cooking and spices that will help add flavour to their food as a whole. A simple gesture such as this can save many an elderly person from sacrificing their dignity and health in search of food, on a daily basis.

Basic Home Items - A few other things that help a destitute senior citizen have a better quality of life are simple and basic things like soap, clothing, detergent and the likes. These things go a long way to make sure that the quality of life of a senior citizen is improved significantly and they are able to live in a more hygienic and fulfilling environment than they were used to.

A sponsorship is what enables an NGO or senior care services to grant these benefits and facilities to the elders who are under their care and to make sure that at the end of the day, the money that has come in from the sponsorships in being used to make a genuine change in the lives of these senior citizens, who had, till now, had nothing but their bodies to work and earn, even if they had been ailing from a disease.

Monetary Help - Sometimes, apart from help with rations and basic home needs, the elderly also need help for their money situation. Essentially, the monetary aspect of the sponsorships come into play for senior citizens who are living in old age homes to help them become self-reliant and more confident of themselves. This monetary sponsorship also helps them tremendously in keeping their dignity intact and helps them feeling good about themselves in the long run.

Sponsorships can truly change the course of life for a lot of elderly people and senior citizens who are in desperate need of food, water and shelter, the basic need of every citizen, and if a simple sponsorship can help them achieve it, then why not?
