Cancer Care Relief Fund

CAN you help? My wife has cancer, but I have no money. Bhani* had severe pain in her stomach and she was bleeding from time to time. Her worried husband brought her to a nearby hospital in West Bengal where he was advised to take her straight to CMC Vellore.

He was a compounder but had lost his job during the lockdown. The couple leased their land, borrowed money and travelled to Vellore. They had high hopes for healing ... until they heard the diagnosis: She had Cancer! 

“This is a big disease!” he said, “I had just enough money to treat a small issue and go back home”. 

Bhani looked frail and weak. Her husband told the doctors that he would take her home, where she could pass away in peace with her children around her. He had given up on life.

This is just one story. Everyday we see hundreds of distressed families like Bhani and her husband. They travel many miles to CMC Vellore, hoping for relief.

We CAN Help! CMC doctors convinced the couple to stay. "Bhani is only 37, and has a life to live! The cancer is treatable. She can beat it!" Her husband agreed when they promised to help.

CMC's charity grants covered a huge part of the treatment and medicine costs for Bhani.

We want all our patients have the treatment they need. No one should have to go away because they do not have money.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- This is our dream! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You too CAN help!! Bhani's treatment was made possible thanks to friends who give to help our patients. She has been in Vellore for three months to complete her course of advanced radiotherapy. Though she looks a little weak, Bhani is responding well to the treatment. The couple hopes to go back to their hometown soon to see their son and daughter.  

We believe that everyone has the right to quality care. Help us bridge the gap for those who can't afford it.

 Together we CAN beat cancer!
