On 21st morning, the day after cyclone Amphan hit Kolkata, when the entire city was trying to cope with the disaster, our member, Ms Chatterjee, faced another crisis at home. Her husband had pulled out his feeding tube in the morning and she was unable to feed him. Somehow, she managed to call her home physician but needed to arrange for a new feeding tube. She called the Support Elders NAC for assistance. Our NAC immediately contacted one of our staff and requested him to look into the matter. Our staff called Ms Chatterjee and requested her to click a picture of the feeding tube and whatsApp it to him and asked her for details regarding the size, etc. With most shops being closed either due to the lockdown or waterlogging or uprooted trees blocking the way, our staff finally managed to procure one from a far-off store. After reaching Ms Chatterjee's residence, he made sure that the doctor could insert it and Mr Chatterjee was able to take food through it before leaving.
