My Nonprofit Reviews

Koshish, the hospice, is surely an exclusive NGO of its kind. It is the pride of our town. In fact, it is more than simply a hospice as it not only provides a long time care facility to terminally ill people, but extends treatment, food, medication, and shelter to destitute and other needy people. It has a primary school, too, where at least 100 pupils are taught and fed at least one square meal a day. To lend verisimilitude of my statement, I would like to share my own experience at Kosish. I’m an India born naturalized citizen of the USA, at present residing in Chirachas, Bokaro, to look after my nonagenarian, sick mother. In the last week of February this year, my mother, who was already suffering from hypertension, arthritis, and myriad maladies of old age was suddenly taken ill. I was very reluctant to take her to a hospital for I had a bitter experience with them. I became restless and did not have any clue what to do. I tried many doctors, but none of them agreed to visit my home. Then a friend of mine suggested me to call Dr Abhijit Dam, the director of Kosish. I did it, and lo and behold, Dr Dam was there at my house within no time. He stayed with us for more than half an hour, treating her, advising and discussing. The most surprising thing was that he did not charge a penny for his service and valuable time. Consoling me to keep faith in All-Mighty, he left, also offering me that if I couldn't take care of my mother properly, I could bring her to the Kosish. They would take care of her, and they would do it without any charge. I was shocked. I did not believe doctors like Dr Dam can even exist in this modern world. I was so shocked that for more than an hour I kept thinking of what exactly had happened. True that I did not take my mother to Kosish since I believe it is my mother, and I must take care of her. I requested Dr Dam to stay by me as long as she survives. He assured me at once without wasting a minute. Since then, my mother is under his treatment and care. He visited my house more than ten times, and he did it with his aids and staff. He never charged me a penny. When I insisted, he said if I wanted to do something, I could do it for the Kosish. It is my sanskara that I came across Dr Dam and his organization. God bless them.
