The Plight of the Elderly

“No elderly person should be like an exile in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.” — Pope Francis

Aging is an inevitable process, genetically determined and environmentally influenced. As individuals grow older, they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. However, the harsh reality is that many elderly persons are abandoned, neglected, and left to fend for themselves.

The Challenges of Old Age

After a lifetime of hard work, many elderly individuals find themselves without financial support, relying on their children for care. Unfortunately, this often leads to feelings of burden, resulting in abandonment in public places such as trains and pilgrimage centers.
