Help 10 disabled persons with urinary incontinence

HELP 10 DISABLED PERSONS WITH URINARY INCONTINENCE

(Project #59562 from Balajothi Centre for the Disabled)

Funding goal $6000 / Funds raised to date $ 267

Project report due on April 8, 2024 / Report sent on April 7, 2024

Having a disabled and bedridden person in a home, who has urinary incontinence, is a major challenge. Especially if the person is intellectually disabled with speech impairment, who needs help and support round the clock. This problem requires frequent change of clothing, washing the private parts of the patient using disinfectants, and drying of the clothes. This continues till the very last day of life of the disabled person.

This disability is compounded when accompanied by emptying the bowel, frequently. The obnoxious smell tends to permeate the entire living environment causing stress to the family and guests.  In almost all cases the burden rests upon the mother who is required to manage such situations.

Balajothi thanks YOU, DONOR, for your generous contribution of $ 267 raised to date, for this noble project of helping disabled persons with urinary incontinence. 

Medical treatment, including surgery, is out of the question for such disabled persons. Use of diapers will, to a great extent, alleviate the difficulties posed by this problem. Generally mothers help in this kind of burden imposed upon them, but we have several instances of the fathers having to take over in absence of the mother due to death or employment.  We thank the caregivers who continue to provide assistance to such persons, day after day.

Balajothi thanks GlobalGiving for their support to this noble cause by raising funds from across the globe. even during the pandemic period.  We pray for their safety and well being in their dedicated efforts to bring relief to the needy and underprivileged community.  Thank you GlobalGiving !!
