Cloths Drive For Mental Health Patients
Mental health patients are often stigmatized, ignored and often abandoned by their own families. Though a large number of individuals suffering from mental illness are capable of managing small jobs while receiving treatment in the hospital and continue to make significant progress when discharged from the hospital, many of these patients are unable to apply for or hold meaningful jobs due to a lack basic necessities such as clothing.
At Dhillon Murthi Law Professional Corporation, we organize an annual drive to collect gently used adult clothes and shoes for patients at various regional mental health hospitals.
Donations of gently used clothes and shoes offer mental health patients with much needed help to earn a livelihood and rebuild their lives.
