- Title: These strangers are family now, Old Home
- Description: OFFERING: Laxmi Thapa, 68, offers lamps to people for blessing. She doesnt remember where she was born or her family since she was married very young. Laxmi worked as a domestic all her life. Her alcoholic husband used to beat her up. When she broke her arm, her employer abandoned her so she came here. Now she prays all the time. I spent all my life helping others, she says, now there is no one to help me.. The Pashupati Bridhashram (old Home) is run by the government so its budget is limited; it is congested, short-staffed and shows signs of mismanagement. There are 230 residents, 140 of them women.
