Majority of the visually challenged old age people are neglected by their children and their health condition doesn't cope with them to work. They are dependent on others for their basic living needs such as food and health care. The problem becomes worse if they come from a rural/socially backward background. It needs someone with social responsibility and distinguished ability to give them support by providing food groceries.

There are some more visually impaired elderly people are waiting to receive this support. Your support will make a huge difference in the lives of Poor elderly visually impaired.
