Give daily healthy meals to the aged in India

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Namaste and warm greetings to you. We are writing to provide a transparent and heartfelt update on our project, "Give Daily Healthy Meals to the Aged in India," covering our activities from January to April 2026.

Serving 120 Elders Across Three Locations

Despite significant funding challenges, the mission of BASS India remains steadfast. We are currently operating three active daily meal centers across the region, serving a total of 120 elderly mothers and fathers who have no other source of support.

At these centres, we provide more than just food; we provide dignity and a sense of community. Our current operations include:

Daily Hot Nutrition: Providing balanced lunches and evening meal boxes to ensure no senior citizen suffers from hunger.

Extreme Heatwave Protection: Guntur is currently experiencing a severe heatwave with temperatures exceeding 44°C. To protect our elders—who are the most vulnerable to heatstroke—we are providing extra buttermilk and curd to keep them hydrated.

Safety Adjustments: We have shifted our center hours, allowing our beneficiaries to arrive early and return home before the peak afternoon heat begins.

Financial Update & Urgent Need

Between January and April 2026, we raised $102 for this project. While we are deeply grateful for these contributions, we face a critical gap in resources.

To put our needs into perspective:

Operational Costs: It costs approximately $400 per month to run just one center effectively.

Current Reality: With three centers running, our monthly requirement is $1,200. The $102 raised during this period, while helpful, covers only a fraction of the actual cost of the food and care we provide.

Our Ongoing Commitment

BASS India is committed to keeping our doors open. We believe that the need for food and safety never stops, regardless of funding fluctuations. We are currently utilizing every available resource to ensure that our grandparents in Guntur do not have to worry about where their next meal will come from.

How You Can Help

As we move further into the summer months and look toward the second half of the year, your partnership is more vital than ever. We humbly invite you to consider:

1. A One-Time Gift: To help us cover the $400 monthly cost for a center.
2. Recurring Support: A monthly donation provides the stability we need to plan ahead and ensure no elderly person is turned away.

Your compassion provides life-saving relief and peace of mind to those who have spent their lives caring for others. Thank you for standing with BASS India and being the backbone of this essential service.

With sincere gratitude,
