Help a poor cancer patient with radiation therapy

Impact

When Sandip was 8 years old, **he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system.**His father had passed away and the only breadwinner of the family was his mother. She worked as a daily wage labourer on a farm. Her earning was not even enough to scrape together food for both of them. The doctors said that Sandip could make a complete recovery. But there was no way for his mother to put together the money for his treatment. **She was utterly devasted at the thought that she might lose her only ray of hope because she could not afford to pay for his treatment.**Charutar Arogya Mandal discovered her case and took full responsibility of Sandip’s treatment. **They paid for his radiation and chemotherapy until he was completely cured.** Sandip and his mother now have a future to look forward to all thanks to the donors who helped them.Donate now to help an underprivileged child like Sandip fight cancer.
