My name is Ayra Agrawal. I am 16 years old and a Grade 11 student at Podar International School, Powai, Mumbai.

I am thrilled that I have this wonderful opportunity to help the elderly. They invest a lot in taking care of their children and need all the love, comfort, and care they can get in their old age. Unfortunately, circumstances have forced many of them to move to an old-age home. The Citizens Welfare Association - an NGO in Borivali is an old-age home that takes care of the elderly and gives them much-needed care and comfort. I believe that every individual deserves to age with dignity and respect.

The elderly face a lot of challenges in society. Many of them are also abandoned by their families - which is heartbreaking. The loneliness, neglect, and lack of resources deeply saddened me, and I knew I had to do something to make a difference. This campaign focuses on raising funds to take care of them.

I was also surprised to learn that all it takes is just INR 15000 to take care of them for an entire month. Usually, medical care is the most expensive element as they age. The INR 15000 includes their food, stay, clothes, medical care, etc.

I request all of you to support my campaign so that we can make a positive impact on the lives of these elderly citizens and allow them to live the rest of their lives with dignity and happiness. Let's come together and do our bit.
