  • 𝑨𝑫𝑯𝑨𝑹 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 For years, parents of special adults have managed continuous caregiving while balancing personal responsibilities often missing important family occasions, delaying health needs, postponing travel, and managing ongoing physical and emotional strain. ADHAR Respite Home is designed to support families during such times. It offers short-term stays (7–30 days), where individuals receive complete care including accommodation, meals, medication management, supervision, and structured daily activities. This initiative enables families to take necessary time for themselves, with the assurance that their loved ones are in a safe and supportive environment. 📍 Badlapur | Nashik | Satara 📞 99205 23427 / 90826 40413 #ADHAR #RespiteHome #CaregiverSupport #Inclusion #CommunityCare

    Impact is best measured not just in numbers, but in the lives those numbers touch. At the Tata Mumbai Marathon, the spirit of running once again translated into something far more powerful; collective generosity. This year, we are proud to celebrate the incredible fundraising achievements of our partner NGOs: 🏆 Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care – ₹13,02,50,019 (Highest Fundraising NGO) 🥈 United Way Mumbai – ₹4,67,04,031 (2nd Highest Fundraising NGO) 🥉 ADHAR – ₹3,67,07,538 (3rd Highest Fundraising NGO) These milestones represent thousands of stories of hope, resilience, and change. From healthcare and education to community development, the impact created will continue long after the finish line is crossed. A huge thank you to every runner, donor, volunteer, and partner who made this possible. This is what happens when a city comes together not just to run, but to give. #TMM #TataMumbaiMarathon #RunForACause #Fundraising #Impact #UnitedWayMumbai
