Provide medical support to children with Thalassemia through employee giving

Impact

Anjali is a young girl suffering from the deadly Thalassemia disease. She comes from a very poor family. Her father works as a daily labourer, and the family struggles hard to feed themselves everyday. In this scenario, buying medicines for their child became very tough for them. At that time, we came to know about their family situation and we offered our support. We enrolled Anjali in our medical intervention for thalassemic children. She is now getting medicines and nutrition support regularly through this program. She is maintaining a stable health now. Your timely help will save many children like Anjali and give them hope and strength.

About The Program

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that has less haemoglobin than the normal count. Haemoglobin enables Red Blood Cells to carry oxygen. Thalassemia patients need frequent blood transfusions every 15 to 21 days. Every time you go for blood transfusion you get more iron in your body. This overloaded iron accumulates and settles in the heart, liver kidneys, lungs, pancreas and other vital organs which ultimately leads to death. Thus children with severe thalassemia need to get rid of excess iron in the body through iron chelation Tablets every month. This will ensure that the body contains the right amount of iron content and their health and safety is not compromised. Through this program with a monthly contribution of Rs. 2480/- per beneficiary, we aim to provide iron chelation Tablets to thalassemic children, along with calcium tablets and protein powder to stabilize their health.
