For a mother who has spent her entire life loving and raising her child, being beaten and mercilessly thrown out onto the streets by her own son is too heartbreaking to overcome. But this is a common story among the elderly residents of the Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. “I’ve seen mothers in old and torn clothes, their bodies smelling and their hands and feet rotting and covered in maggots,” shares Dr. G.P. Bhagat, founder of the ashram. These abandoned elderly men and women lay starving on the streets hoping for someone to rescue them from their suffering. But most people walk past them without a second glance. “Like this”, Dr. Bhagat explains, “many elders die on the roads.”Since 2003, SHEOWS (Saint Hardyal Educational and Orphans Welfare Society) has rescued over 10,000 elderly people from the streets and given them a home with care and support. The elderly staying at the ashram have all been abandoned by their families and have nowhere else to live. Your support can give them comfort after their abandonment.

The Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram has a dedicated rescue team that saves the elderly from the streets and gives them immediate medical care upon their arrival at the home. To tend to the multiple health complications of the seniors, the home has a medical facility with doctors and nurses, a physiotherapy unit, a pathology lab, a digital X-ray monitoring machine and a pharmacy to provide 24-hour care to older adults anytime they require assistance, even during emergencies. Dr. Bhagat prioritizes the health of the seniors and ensures that they receive three balanced meals a day based on their precise health requirements. Need for the fundraiserThe humanitarian mission of SHEOWS is making an impact in the area, as more and more people are being rescued and brought to Guru Vishram Vridh Ashram. To meet the financial costs of running the home, SHEOWS needs support to continue providing the residents with all the facilities that they need. This includes constant care and round-the-clock medical attention, nutritious food and maintaining a hygienic environment to keep the seniors in comfort and good health. Dr. Bhagat explains that as the number of residents is increasing, SHEOWS needs support for food and medicines. “I request you to help these elderly parents lead a peaceful life.”Donate now to help Dr. Bhagat continue caring for the 500 destitute elderly and giving them shelter, food, medical care and the will to carry on living despite their tragic abandonment by their families. Your support will enable SHEOWS to keep serving abandoned senior citizens and help them recover from the trauma of abandonment and life on the streets. “I have been serving these elderly as if they were my own parents”, shares Dr. Bhagat. “I want only one thing - their tears should vanish and they should have a smile on their faces.” To help Dr. Bhagat achieve this dream, your support is critical. Donate now to help SHEOWS care for more abandoned elderly. Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest online donation platform, to support SHEOWS in their mission to rescue the abandoned elderly from the streets and give them shelter, food, medical care, recreational activities and emotional support.

Lakhs of cancer patients across the country are fighting against the dreaded disease with little support or help. Often treatment is costly which poor families can’t afford, leaving patients in a painful battle that they are bound to lose without medical care. Many families even sell their land and property to afford treatment, and still, end up losing their loved ones. “When such cancer patients come to us we stand by them. We hold their hands and assure them that they will get the treatment they need”, says Dr Amruta Tripathi, a compassionate oncologist at Charutar Arogya Mandal.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/3106c7e1-acda-4e73-8c96-ab4d45911f45.webp" />No mother should have to feel the pain of losing a child, no wife of losing her husband or any family member just because they’re poorDr. Amruta has made it her life’s mission to stand by those battling cancer alone, patients rejected by hospitals, forgotten by society. At Charutar Arogya Mandal, she and her team provide free, world-class cancer treatment to the poorest of the poor. But she cannot do it without you. Support her.

They are left to suffer till their last breath, often in isolation and agony.“These patients are in unimaginable pain. When they are refused admission everywhere else, they come to us. And I have resolved that I will not leave such patients. I will be there to hold their hand”, Dr Amruta says The moment cancer is diagnosed not just the patients but the entire family suffers. The cost of treatment is exorbitant and they can't afford it. But our doctors stand by these patients, says Dr Atul Haribhai Patel, Chairman of Charutar Arogya Mandal.At Charutar Arogya Mandal Dr Amruta and her team have treated over 30,000 patients free of cost since 2004, offering surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and even nutrition and post-treatment support, all as a nonprofit whose only objective is to support those suffering.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/8349db46-f194-4c6a-8052-141bb090db5d.webp" />Healing when all hope is lost“The biggest happiness for me is when I see a patient cancer-free. It means our treatment worked. That we gave someone their life back,” Dr. Amruta says, smiling.Each life saved is a miracle — a child who gets to grow up, a mother who gets to see her daughter graduate, a father who returns home to his family. But behind every miracle is a mountain of effort and expense.And now, the centre urgently needs equipment and resources to continue providing this critical care to patients from the most marginalised backgrounds.Your donation can save a lifeWith your support, Dr. Amruta can continue to provide free, compassionate, and quality treatment to cancer patients who have nowhere else to go.Your donation will help the centre<ul><li>Procure life-saving medical equipment</li><li>Offer advanced diagnostics and treatment</li><li>Provide holistic care from medicine to meals</li><li>Ensure no one is turned away for lack of funds</li></ul>Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s most trusted online donation platform, to support Charutar Arogya Mandal in its mission to provide support poor cancer patients who can not afford treatment.

“During a visit to a nearby village, I found two abandoned babies left to die in a cowshed. Visibly fragile and covered in dirt, the condition of the little ones left me in shock. Moved by the sight, I inquired in the area and was told that these babies were left there by their own family after they were diagnosed with HIV. I immediately brought the babies back home. This was in 2001 and that marked the beginning of a two-decade-long struggle to save abandoned HIV+ children from dying on the streets,” says 75-year-old Mangal Shah, fondly addressed as tai by her 150 adopted grandchildren. Mangaltai founded Palawi with a mission to give abandoned HIV+ children a second chance at life and, more importantly, to right the wrongs that society had done to them. For over two decades, she has rescued hundreds of children off the streets and given them the love they were denied for no fault of theirs. She has given the children life-saving medical care and education while helping them lead normal lives.“It does not cost us money to give them the love they deserve, but the cost of medical care, food, shelter, and education is more than what I can shoulder on my own and I need urgent help,” pleads Mangaltai. Help 70-year-old Mangaltai save the lives of her 150 HIV+ grandchildren. Donate now. Every child deserves a futureHailing from the predominantly rural area of Pandharpur in Maharashtra, Mangaltai faced countless challenges and opposition from people in the area. “I was often told that these children are HIV+ and they are not going to survive long. What is the point of wasting money, time and effort behind them,” recalls Mangaltai. “But I told everyone I am not going to give up on any of these children. Every child deserves love and care. Every child deserves to have a chance at a future,” she adds. Narrating a story about a 5-year-old boy Mangaltai says, “We rescued 5-year-old Pranay (name changed) from a nearby village in 2005. He was severely malnourished, sick and had a gaping wound on his head. Seeing the baby’s condition and the maggot-infested wound, doctors gave him six months to live. But Pranay is now 22 years old, he is financially independent and leading a normal life with dignity. What would have happened if I gave up on him?” Mangaltai has faced severe discrimination all along her journey with Palawi, owing to her work and for standing up for the rights of HIV+ kids. She was driven out of schools when she tried to get admissions for her children. “The discrimination against our children was such that they were not even allowed to set foot in any of the schools in this area. We were left with no choice but to start a school of our own,” says Mangaltai.The healing power of loveAccording to Mangaltai, the love that children of Palawi receive is one of the strongest factors in their recovery and healthy childhood. “We are there for these kids throughout the day. These kids have low immunity and are prone to illness. Which is why we need to be extremely cautious. We need to have regular health check-ups to ensure they are safe and healthy. But all of this comes at a cost. A cost that I alone can not take care of,” Mangaltai says. Help Mangaltai change the lives of hundreds of abandoned HIV+ orphans and give them a loving home, medical care and education, so they too can live fulfilling lives in future.

The recent outbreak of the Corona Virus pandemic has brought everything to a standstill for our foundation with all fund sources being halted,l and existing funds being cleared out in all the financial aid we have helped the victims within the initial days of the lockdown to help them sustain through then. With the lockdown situation now being over a month, the victims have been facing a lot of problems with depleting or non-availability of ration, pending surgeries and treatments on hold again due to lack of monetary aid, also with the absence of funds, crucial mandate medicines and eye drops in case of the blind victims is a major concern too, the bread earners and daily earning members from the victims’ families too are unable to go to work again taking out that option for them to meet their needs. The victims are in a very bad situation and have been reaching out to Daulat Bi who has tried her best in all ways but is now helpless too with the absence of funds after a lot of attempts  
 In the wake of this volatile situation, we look to you for help to aid the victim’s needs and requirements and are looking for a fund collection outreach of an estimate total amount of approx 11.5 lakhs which could help us fulfil this Breakdown of the priority fund requirements estimate for our foundation as below:  In terms of medicines, we are currently trying to meet the need for the priority ones for the victims which is eye drops especially for the blind victims who form a majority of the count and secondly for skin/burn creams which is a must for all victims, for these two per victim we count an estimate of Rs. 2500 per victim per month on a minimum that comes to 1.25 lacs for 50 victims In terms of groceries, if basic essentials like vegetables, pulses, rice, soaps, cooking spices/oils for a month is considered at Rs 3000 per victims family per month it would come to 1.5 lacs as a total for 50 victims In terms of surgical requirements, a surgery for any victims on an average ranges between 75k to a lac or more and the same is soon to be done for at least 3 victims as of now  For education needs as mentioned the 2 children in hostel facilities have a cost of approx 1 lakh for their accommodation plus schooling needs and costs for the coming year to be paid while for the test of the 9 chicken the fees, stationery, uniforms and other costs again would range in approx 25k per child totalling to around 2.25 lacs for 9 children  The rental costs taken at the average of per family for monthly bills and costs would be approx 10-12k and for around 21 victims comes up to 2.5 lakhs 
 We shall be able to ensure that the beneficiaries are well-equipped during these testing times.
