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.

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.

But doctors say that if detected early and if a patient receives essential treatment, the illness can be defeated and the person can return to their lives. “Treatment of cancer often depends on multiple factors including the type of cancer and the stage in which it is detected. Some patients require surgery while some can be cured with just chemotherapy or immunotherapy. “Whatever may be the need, our nonprofit supports patients till the time they are cancer free. We not only take care of the cost of treatment but even assist patients with nutrition which is vital in the fight against cancer. Moreover, we ensure that family members who are already facing immense hardships get proper accommodation and food during treatment so they don’t suffer any further,” says the NGO leader.

During this time, the couple also saw the plight of mentally ill patients coming from low-income families and those that remained on the streets without any care or treatment. Ashadeep was started as a safe home and rehabilitation centre for homeless mentally ill patients. “Mostly those suffering from mental illness lose their way home and end up on the streets. Sometimes, a few are abandoned by their families and forced to live a miserable life on the streets. These people, out of hunger, eat out of garbage dumps and live painful lives. The fate of women is even worse. Without a safe shelter, they are subjected to constant sexual abuse on the streets,” shares Dr Anjana while shedding light on the extreme difficulties faced by homeless mentally ill patients. They have been rescuing the homeless from the streets and giving them a safe home for decades now.A beacon of hope for mentally ill homeless"Our main objective is to provide the best treatment and psychiatric care to those we rescue so they can live active lives. We enable our residents to live a life of dignity through medication and different therapies. We also try to find the families of those patients who have lost their way home and reunite them with their loved ones. To date, we have been able to reintegrate over 1000 people with their families after completion of treatment,” the NGO founder says.The nonprofit not only provides treatment to the people they rescue but also gives them skills training and a wide array of employment opportunities so they can live with their heads held high.But after four decades of selfless service, Dr Anjana today faces a challenge like never before. The steep rise in costs for medical care, food and other essentials has left the NGO struggling for funds.

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.
