Elderly population in our country is growing. Sadly Senior citizens in
many families are looked down upon as unwanted guests. The aged who
were looked upon with respect and for guidance in the past are
increasingly finding themselves alienated, with their children
migrating to cities and metros as also abroad in search of greener
pastures. In cities and metros, where there is space constraint for
homes, the elderly are the one who is thrown out first. It is in the
winter of one's life that a person needs greater care, love and
affection. Unfortunately, the abuse of the aged is showing an upward
trend over the years. Literacy has not made an impact on the youth to
take better care of the aged. On the contrary, the more the
educational qualifications of a youth, the greater is the likelihood
of his neglecting them.

No wonder, more and more senior citizens are taking to old age homes,
which is evident from the growing number of such homes in cities and
even small towns. The neglected senior citizens curse their fate and
bear the brunt but most of them remain tight-lipped about their sons
and daughters, who have relinquished their duty towards them. We at
5Minutes for poor, will help well managed Old aged homes with
materials and medicines and also organise feast on major festival
days. JOIN OUR GROUP to help people of our parents age.
