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.

“My 8-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer and it left the entire family devastated. I was told the cost of treatment would run into lakhs. I was barely managing to make ends meet and there was nothing I could do to save Swaroop. But the Nargis Dutt Foundation stepped in and took care of all the expenses. I can’t even imagine the consequences had they not been there for my son,,” says teary-eyed Devendra.The helplessness that Devendra felt is not uncommon among low-income families of cancer patients. There are many who helplessly see their dear ones, including children, lose their life in the most painful manner. Nargis Dutt Foundation has ensured that thousands of families don’t see this fate. It’s been a ray of hope for thousands of cancer patients since its inception over 40 years back. You can help save many more patients with cancer.

When I saw my mother struggling for life it left a lifelong impact on me. Her condition had deteriorated to such an extent she was almost unrecognisable. I know how it feels like to lose a loved one to cancer and I am not alone in my grief. There are thousands of people struggling to save their family members,” says Priya, daughter of noted actress Nargis Dutt, who lost her life to cancer, and in whose name the NGO has been founded.

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. With your support, Nargis Dutt Foundation can help patients win the fight against cancer and save their families from grief of losing a loved one.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted fundraising platform, to support Nargis Dutt Foundation in their mission to give life-saving chemotherapy and care to cancer patients who can not afford treatment.

The joy of an elderly seeing their granddaughter’s face for the first time or being able to see sunlight after years of visual impairment is invaluable. Our NGO partner, Nanritam, has given such priceless moments of joy and the gift of sight to thousands of underprivileged seniors who could not afford surgeries. Working in remote villages where it is common for young sons to leave behind their elderly parents in search of livelihood, Nanritam has been a saviour for the visually impaired elderly. Nanritam is in urgent need of funds to be able to provide eye treatment and cataract surgeries to underprivileged elderly in the backward district of Purulia, West Bengal. Donate now to provide life-changing surgeries.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).Giving the elderly gift of sight“The extent of illiteracy and poverty in the villages of Purulia is shocking. These villages are so remote that not even one eye-care institution has ever reached here. Blindness leaves the elderly so helpless that they are even unable to care for themselves and lead normal lives”, says Ranjana Sengupta, Secretary, Nanritam who has been at the forefront of the NGO’s operations. Nanritam is an organisation of several eye doctors who treat patients for free in far-flung areas.Due to limited livelihood opportunities in backward areas, able-bodied persons often migrate to urban areas for better prospects, leaving their elderly parents behind to fend for themselves. Compounding this situation, many seniors grapple with visual impairment caused by cataract, leading to partial or complete blindness. Ranjana emphasises, "The elderly may not be aware that a quick 5-minute cataract surgery has the power to transform their entire lives."Donate to Nanritam now to provide free cataract surgeries to the elderly and change their lives.Why donate to the fundraiser?“We are in urgent need of funds to purchase modern equipment and to cover operating costs to give vision to the elderly who can't even afford basic treatment and medical care. I urge you to support us in this noble mission and help the elderly get their vision back,” says Ranjana.Donate to this fundraiser on Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help underprivileged elderly get their vision back with free cataract surgeries.

Rahul was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCMP) at the age of just 19.  His condition was managed till 2017, when Rahul suffered a paralytic attack. His doctors told the family there was no other option besides a transplant. In shock and frightened, Rahul’s family nonetheless stood by him and waited for a viable organ. Rahul was fortunate enough to receive the transplant in 2018 at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. Rahul now leads a fit and active life. For Rahul, his transplant and the sacrifice of the donor’s family is something that he must honor by living to the fullest. Rahul’s dream is to represent India at the World Transplant Games and hopes to make both his donor and his country proud.  ORGAN India, an initiative of the Parashar Foundation, have been appointed the Team Managers for Team India at the World Transplant Games 2023 in Perth, Australia. We are already preparing to take the largest Indian contingent ever at the World Transplant Games, get them the best training and coaching available BUT WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT RAHUL IS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE! 
 Over the past few months, Rahul has been working on his fitness and has been training hard to participate in the World Transplant Games. We aim to support Rahul by covering the costs of his travel, accommodation, training and support in the form of coaches, physiotherapists, and administrators. "The total cost of Rahul's participation will be around 3.5 lakhs'.India’s Organ Donation Rate is amongst the lowest in the world, largely due to a lack of awareness of organ donation, and myths surrounding life after transplant. Rahul’s participation in the upcoming Games gives hope to all those who have received an organ transplant and will encourage more people to pledge to be organ donors. 
 We hope to create an impact in two ways. One: for Rahul to represent India and show that not only is there a life after a heart transplant, but there can also be a fit, active and healthy life. Two: To raise awareness throughout the country on organ donation and transplant on the lives that can not only be saved but lived to the fullest. The people who can be saved if everyone pledges to donate their organs can live long fruitful lives and go on not only to become great athletes and live their lives but can go on to do great things.

An international-level badminton player with an organ transplant, Balveer Singh has made India proud on the world stage, with 3 medals at the World Transplant Games. He has represented India when there was barely a team to speak of, mostly from his own funds. The cost of participation, including registration, flights, hotels and equipment is huge for an athlete in his position. Somehow he has managed it, and that too without coaches, doctors and physiotherapists that have been available to his competitors. And he has won – repeatedly. ORGAN India, an initiative of the Parashar Foundation have been appointed the Team Managers for Team India at the World Transplant Games 2023 in Perth, Australia. We are already preparing to take the largest Indian contingent ever at the World Transplant Games, and get them the best training and coaching available BUT WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT BALVEER IS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND BRING BACK MORE MEDALS FOR INDIA! 
 Balveer has been consistently training since his last trip to the Games in Newcastle, UK in 2019. We aim to support Balveer by covering the costs of his travel, accommodation, training and support in the form of coaches, physiotherapists and administrators. "The total cost of Balveer's participation will be around 3.5 lakhs'India’s Organ Donation Rate is amongst the lowest in the world, largely due to a lack of awareness of organ donation, and myths surrounding life after transplant. Balveer has long been an ambassador for organ donation. His participation in the upcoming Games gives hope to all those who have received an organ transplant and will encourage more people to pledge to be organ donors. 
 We hope to create an impact in two ways. One: for Balveer to represent India and win medals thereby showing what is achievable by our athletes. Two: To raise awareness throughout the country on organ donation and transplant on the lives that can not only be saved but lived to the fullest. The people who can be saved if everyone pledges to donate their organs can live long fruitful lives and go on not only to become great athletes and live their lives but can go on to do great things.
