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 70-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 stress induced by the pandemic in the lives of our children seems to be ceaseless. While it has immediately impacted a child's access to education and learning, the uncertainty around these children being able to join school in future is as concerning. The Nargis Dutt Foundation has received several applications from deserving students for educational support. Your donation of ₹10,000/- can help the organisation support education for one child for a year; this is less than ₹1,000/- for a month.The on-going pandemic has been devastating for many families with loss of employment or death of a loved one. Families too are struggling to pay the fees of their children besides daily expenses. It is a huge setback and mental stress for many parents trying to support their children's education. Children too have been going through a lot of stress with education going online for the first time. We have received hundreds of applications for scholarships, a desperate need for children to be able to continue their education. Your help today will go a long way in paving the future for that child. We all desire a good education but many are struggling just to be educated, especially during this pandemic. Be a Mentor, a Guide, an Angel in someone's life. 
 The Nargis Dutt Foundation provides scholarships to meritorious students from economically weaker sections. During the academic year 2020-21, we provided scholarships to 307 students for their school fees, vocational courses and professional degrees like engineering, Dental, Chartered Accountancy, Medicine. Our goal is to reach out to many more through this campaign. Besides academic fees, we also help the student develop holistically with workshops throughout the year like motivational talks, career guidance and extra curricular activities like dance, music, art and drama. This we believe helps improve the mental health of the child and keeps them motivated to study hard.We support meritorious students from disadvantaged families after complete due diligence like taking an interview with the child/parent and documentation which includes income certificate, fees structure, academic results, adhar card and an NDF online form. We believe in supporting the child year on year till they complete their education. We provide 50% of fees. Fees are paid directly to the school or college. No amount is transferred to personal accounts. Rs.10000 can help in sponsoring the school fees of a child for a year, which is less than Rs1000/- a month. 
 We believe education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. It is the key to end child labour and break the cycle of poverty. NDF has touched the lives of over 50000 students through our education projects in rural school development, scholarships, computer education, e-learning and distribution of school kits.We have seen the positive effects of what an education can provide. Our students who received our scholarships are now working with top companies like TCS, Larsen &amp; Turbo Infotech, Wipro, Ernst and Young and related companies. One of our students is also working in Germany. It is wonderful to see the children of our essential workforce ( who are the backbone of our nation) like auto-rickshaw drivers, house-helps, taxi drivers, embroidery workers, labourers and daily wage earners break the cycle of poverty and change the circumstances of their families. Our past students also 'Pay it Forward' by guiding other students academically or in their careers.
