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.

Help Dr. Bhagat care for 500+ elderly parents rescued from abuse and homelessness

They are pushed out of their homes. Feared by people on the streets. Left to live in pain.Old, frail, and alone, those affected by leprosy are often abandoned not because they are contagious, but because many people treat them with disdain. Untreated wounds eat away at their bodies. Nerve damage makes them incapable to work, to live independently. Hunger, infection, and suffering become their daily reality. This is not a disease of the past. It is happening now in remote pockets outside cities and villages. Despite the fact that leprosy is completely curable, thousands suffer simply because of poverty and because they were rejected before they could be treated.Our NGO partner, GoodBye Leprosy, has been out on the field treating and helping thousands of leprosy patients for decades. But without your help their work can come to a halt. Donate generously to save lives now.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/387470e2-30c0-47b0-bb59-6ce255df64b9.webp" />Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India).Restoring dignity through care and compassionAny individual who is affected by leprosy feels rejection the moment they think, “Oh, that man fears me.” Antony Samy, founding member of our GoodBye Leprosy, shares that this emotional wound is often deeper than the physical pain. When patients finally step into the GoodBye Leprosy center, they arrive broken, fearful, and in agony. Here, they are treated differently. They are treated with love, respect, and dignity.At GoodBye Leprosy, medical care begins immediately, treating infections, managing nerve damage, dressing wounds, and providing physiotherapy to prevent lifelong disabilities. Alongside this, patients receive counseling and reassurance. Antony explains that when patients realise their disease is not because of any curse, they get confident and hope returns.He says they have helped hundreds and rescued them from hopelessness, restoring their strength and their confidence. Old men who had stopped walking learn to stand again. Elderly women who were shunned begin to smile, speak, and believe they still matter. Each recovery is a reminder that leprosy does not have to steal a person’s life or dignity.<img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/529aaaf7-eca2-403b-b4a6-f43eea71e8f7.webp" />Your donation can save lives todayBy donating to NGO GoodBye Leprosy, you can save lives. “Your donation turns into on-ground impact in the hands of a leprosy worker, in the hands of a doctor, in the hands of a physiotherapist and community counselor,” Antony explains. Every contribution directly supports medicines, wound care, surgeries, physiotherapy, nutrition, and outreach efforts to reach those still suffering in silence.“You can save lives. Please donate and support to save lives of leprosy-affected people,” Antony urges. Your support today can mean timely treatment for an elderly patient, relief from unbearable pain, and the chance to live their remaining years with dignity and care.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s most trusted online donation platform, to support GoodBye Leprosy, in its mission to give impoverished leprosy patients and survivors critical care and long term medical treatment.

Retinoblastoma is the most common eye cancer in children and mostly affects children less than 5 years of age. Every year about 2500 children are diagnosed with this cancer in India. While timely detection can save life of about 95% of these children, it is a ‘silent killer’ and late detection is the major cause of mortality caused by this cancer in children. While many children battle the cancer and come out victorious, the story of eye cancer among children in India has been that of loss of life and eye owing to the ignorance about the disease, late detection and lack of timely and proper treatment. Awareness initiatives about recognizing and treating this cancer early will go long way in saving these precious little lives! 
 Dr. Shroff;s Charity Eye Hospital has established an Integrated Eye cancer treatment centre in Januray 2014 with all manpower, infrastructure and facilities for treatment of Retinoblastoma under one roof. This facility is the first of its kind in North India and aims to cater to the treatment of all childhood eye cancer primarily Retinoblastoma coming from all strata of the society.The centre treats about 100 patients with retinoblastoma each year. The treatment is usually prolonged and requires strict compliance and timely follow up visits by the family to be able to save the life and eye of the child. Treatment depends on the size and location of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread to other areas and the overall health of the child. 
 We wish to save children's life suffering with cancer of the eye. Retinoblastoma is almost always curable, especially if it hasn’t spread beyond the eye.A desired impact:-<ul><li>To get rid of the cancer and save the child’s life.</li><li>To save the eye if possible.</li><li>To preserve as much vision as possible.</li></ul> Once the patients complete their cancer treatment, they need to come for follow-ups and medical procedures just to watch for signs that the cancer has not come back.
