*Temporary Vrindavan Hospice is a Success*

We are happy to report that the Temporary Vrindavan Hospice

continues serving devotees in Vrindavan, now with an official apartment

facility. With the help of Mother Daivisakti Prabhu, we secured an apartment

at the MVT building of the Krishna-Balarama Mandir and officially moved in

on July first. We have an assortment of medical and first aid supplies from

last year and have procured a blood pressure machine, painkillers,

anti-nausea medicine, and adult diapers, among other things. We will soon be

buying the ever needed hospital bed for which we have already gathered the

needed funds by the grace of our 'Angel' monthly donors. There are still

some supplies that need to be bought (we will soon post a list of needed

items), still our doors are open for both hospice care and basic infirmary

first aid needs. Our new full time caretaker/coordinator, Priya Sakhi d.d.,

has already been tending to such things as various small accidents, boils,

and digestive problems, as well as helping to care for a boy with hepatitis

and a devotee recovering from an operation.

 

 

 

The Temporary Vrindavan Hospice project was set up to take care

of an immediate need for hospice care in Vrindavan, until such time as the

planned permanent facility is opened (Giriraj Swami's project). We have

added to our offerings basic first aid care for any devotee in the area, but

we do remain committed to providing 24-hour psychological, physical, and

emotional care to devotees spending their final days in Vrindavan, as well

as support for their loved ones and help with the legal issues associated

with passing on in Vrindavan. If you or someone you know would be interested

in working with the Temporary Vrindavan Hospice, please contact

justdasi2 <justdasi >. For further information or to make

a monetary contribution (tax-deductible), please go to

buddhiyoga.org<http://mail.google.com/mail/buddhiyoga.org>and scroll

down to the Hospice information box. Further transparent

accountability and a monthly journal will be available on the web soon.

 

 

 

*If you have not already begun a monthly subscription donation of $1, $5, or

$12 per month to this greatly needed humane effort for our devotees, please

find it in your heart to join us by making a monthly pledge contribution at

www.buddhiyoga.org/Hospice .*

 

 

 

This project is NOT politically affiliated, and we look forward to working

with and serving many wonderful devotees, regardless of political,

philosophical, or other views. Let's help those who have given their lives

to Lord Caitanya's mission pass away as comfortably and as Krishna conscious

as possible – together, we can do it!

 

 

 

Your servants at Temporary Vrndavan Hospice,
