Situation of the Elderly

Many of these elderly have no direct family alive. In some cases these individuals are widows or widowers so they truly have no one left to assist of take care of them in their final years. In other cases, they are desperately in need of medical support and due to their advanced age and have no means of raising money for even basic medicine. Similarly, in some cases, these elderly have been struck with illness and are in need of basic living expenses such as food and basic neccesities. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity, your help is very much appreciated!
