Introduction

In the hospital, patients have doctors, machines, nurses, oxygen, and safety.

At home, they often have nothing.

The journey from hospital discharge to actual recovery is filled with uncertainty — especially for patients with chronic illnesses, post-surgery conditions, or long-term respiratory diseases.

This is why DiL SE exists: to bridge the gap between clinical care and home-based recovery, ensuring that healing doesn’t stop at the hospital gate.

🛏 The Struggle of Home Recovery

When patients go home, they may face:

• No hospital bed to rest properly

• No suction unit to clear secretions

• No oxygen concentrator to breathe easily

• No walker or wheelchair to move safely

• No caregiver trained to help them use any of it

This leads to:

• Relapses and readmissions

• Slow or incomplete healing

• Emotional distress for the entire family

“We thought discharge meant the worst was over. But the real fear started when we got home.” — Vijayan, father of a post-stroke patient

💡 What DiL SE Provides — and Why It Matters

The DiL SE program provides essential home medical equipment free of cost for families that cannot afford it. But more than tools, we provide:

• 🔄 Continuity of care

• 💸 Financial relief during a fragile time

• 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Confidence for families who feel helpless

“I felt like we had a mini hospital setup at home — but without the cost. It gave us peace.” — Rahma, caregiver

💖 A Day in the Life of a DiL SE Kit

Imagine this:

• A patient is discharged post-COPD crisis

• DiL SE delivers an oxygen concentrator + air bed + portable commode

• Our volunteer trains the caregiver on how to operate and clean the machines

• We check in weekly — and once the patient stabilizes, we collect the equipment for the next home

That one kit has now served three families in three different districts — all within a month.

📊 Impact Highlights

• 🔧 Equipment rotation cycles: 3–5 patients/year per unit

• 💸 Individual family savings: ₹25,000–₹80,000

• 📉 Reduced repeat hospital visits = fewer complications, more confidence

🤝 Every Contribution Circulates Compassion

Because DiL SE is community-shared, your contribution keeps circulating:

• ₹15,000 = 1 oxygen concentrator

• ₹6,500 = 1 air bed

• ₹3,000 = suction machine

• ₹1,500 = transport & maintenance cost

Every item comes back, gets cleaned, and saves someone else — again and again.

Closing Note

Discharge isn’t the end of care.

Sometimes, it’s just the start of a new kind of fear — and a new kind of need.

With DiL SE, we’re saying to every patient:

“You can go home. And we’ll go with you.”

Because healing belongs not just in hospitals, but in homes too.
