Urgent assistance for Damayanti Devi in Canada
Donation protected
This GoFundMe has been created to bring immediate support for Damayanti, ACBSP, currently in Cowichan Bay, B.C. Canada.
On December 16th, 2023 at 2 am she had an accident turning off a fire alarm. She jumped up from bed, reached up and turned it off, but her hands slipped and she fell on the floor on her knees, fracturing her upper Tibia. She then called for an ambulance.
Fast forward to today: her orthopedic surgery was successful along with 2 plus weeks in the Cowichan Reg. hospital. Now the rehab will come to her next 3 weeks and then 4 more months of Ortho rehab locally. She was diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Care-Aides will need to be hired and her strength will rebound with proper sleep and managing pain with the guidance of the Surgeon, Homeopathic and Naturopathic Doctors all in B.C. At 75 yrs. old, she will need ongoing treatments in order to restore and walk again. She also need to purchase a light wheel chair.
Ironically, Damayanti has been a part of " devotee care " since 1989 and has served in many areas: one-on-one mentoring, counseling, sharing bhakti recovery yoga and trained as an ISKCON Mediator, a Pujari, Sankirtan devotee who served with many families advocating "end of life care" and assisting with departures. Assisted for 4 years with the Vedic Care Charity (group) and on-line fundraising.
Damayanti also volunteered and distributed prasad and books on Vancouver Island for 7 years. Mostly, outreach with the Dandelion Society of Victoria,( Rev Al ), also Our Place Society and Wheels of Life in the Comox Valley.
In 2021 she was grateful to begin distributing Srila Prabhupada's original Gita's again, and small books and hopes to continue in the Spring
Now she is the one in need of our collective global care and support. Please donate - every dollar helps.
