If you want to trace their relatives posting there might help. But if they don't want to go back to relatives, we can look for some old age homes in thrissur. I know few where I sponser meals for my my parent's memory. Some are run by corporation. Should check the the admission procedure there. There are some private ones also. But they take heafty admission fee :(Dhanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08593715978123445004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090005713811394685.post-50361129413481019382013-10-29T21:54:49.390-07:002013-10-29T21:54:49.390-07:00Hi Krithika,
Thank you for sharing this very touch...Hi Krithika,<br />Thank you for sharing this very touching story. Time and again I have been hearing and seeing how elders have been treated in our society these days. Somewhere I read that the sign of a healthy civilization is based on how elders are treated in each and every household. I am wondering whether few of us can commit to support them till they live. Probably rent them a small place and get them a maid and take care of their expenses. I am willing to contribute my part if few others can join. Please let me know. <br />narenveeranna@gmail.comNarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02003452635681285708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090005713811394685.post-29970356512132580402013-10-28T18:07:08.986-07:002013-10-28T18:07:08.986-07:00How do I help /What support are they looking for ...How do I help /What support are they looking for now?Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090005713811394685.post-89060718690575084702013-10-28T15:27:59.557-07:002013-10-28T15:27:59.557-07:0022Hello Karthika,
I am deeply moved by your blog....22Hello Karthika,<br /><br />I am deeply moved by your blog. I am a 24 year old, hailing from Kerala. More often than not, We come across such articles in the newspapers these days. <br /><br />I am from a middle class family, never felt the 'real' pain of earning my own bread till this date. Its the shear hard work of my Dad and Mom, that I am able to get good education and may be further..I salute and respect my parents for their love. I hope nothing in this world takes that away from me.<br /><br />My suggestion to all my friends..<br />Please, please value our parents. They shed their lives for us. N lets do the least to make them laugh and breath happy when they are at the end of their journey.<br />After all, We all are the Future 'Old ones'.<br /><br />Suggestion to my parents..<br />Please don't love your kids to that extend that you don't have a house for yourself. You deserve to live peacefully at your place. After all, its these precautions that can differentiate from a spoilt brat and a HUMAN.<br /><br />My sincere love to all who are in need of it.. Especially the ones mentioned in the blog.<br /><br />I cant afford to pay anything now.. But I definitely would spare few moments to pray for them.<br /><br />God Bless..<br />I love you both.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Max ThomasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804900967196027848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090005713811394685.post-79516279960275895832013-10-28T12:25:18.208-07:002013-10-28T12:25:18.208-07:00Hi Karthika!

I am happy to know that there are people who have their hearts at the right place. <br /><br />It was just a couple of days a ago that the TV channels aired the news of parents being abandoned at Guruvayur temple premises. It suggests that this cancer, as you rightly termed it, is malignant and needs severe treatment. <br /><br />I hope that the aged couple can find a shelter to spend their rest of life peacefully... shall try and do my little bit to help the cause..Nishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929794638674106552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090005713811394685.post-50672393301166605382013-10-27T00:00:08.368-07:002013-10-27T00:00:08.368-07:00I happened to visit this blog by chance.

In kerala if rich parents are sure they will not give their son anything, it is better to put them in orphanage at a young age. At least they will not be spoiled by their wealth and learn to stand in their own feet. I wont blame the son without knowing his current financial status.<br />--cs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
