Karunalaya solely depends on the support and generosity of people like you. Below is a list of our current needs that will help our residents tremendously. Please let us know if you would be able to help or donate to any of our current needs no matter how small the donation may be. We greatly appreciate your help! Questions? How to send money?
Sponsor a Resident - You can help us in your own little way by sponsoring the monthly expenses of one or more of our residents.
Sponsor Staff Salary - You can also help us by sponsoring the monthly salary of one or more of our staff members.
Fridge/Freezer - Karunalaya serves over 150 meals a day to residents and staff. A fridge becomes a grave necessity to keep vegetables fresh and preserve milk products longer. A freezer would also help the kitchen a great deal with meat and meat products. If anyone could help us, we really would be very grateful.
Staff Quarters - The staff of Karunalaya form the pillars of support for the home without whose help it would be very difficult to run the home. Currently, the staff have no private place of their own to rest after a hard day's work. We would like to build staff quarters where the staff can have their own comfortable private space to rest and keep their clothes & belongings.
Dining and Kitchen Extension - At present, the Dining and Kitchen Hall can accomodate at most 25 residents at a time. With the number of residents increasing it is becoming necessary to serve food multiple times during each meal. This poses a challenge to the kitchen staff and the helpers serving the meals. We would like to expand the Dining and Kichen Hall to house more people at a time so that the serving of food to the residents is much easier. Additionally, this expanded Dining Hall can be used to host various programs held at the home, if needed.
Paved Walkways & Landscaping - There is a large area in front of the Karunalaya buildings that we would like to landscape. We would also like o construct paved walkways around the property on which residents can walk safely and carefully for their daily health& well being. In addition to beautifying the property, we feel the beautiful landscaping will hearten and cheer up the residents. The paved walkways would give the residents a much needed breath of fresh air!
