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. Donate now.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), &amp; 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). The cost of each chemotherapy is as much as ₹15,000 and a cancer patient can require between 6 to 12 sessions. The hefty cost for cancer treatment is well beyond the reach for poor families that are barely surviving on two square meals a day. Help Nargis Dutt Foundation provide treatment to poor cancer patients and save them from a slow and painful death.Giving hope to cancer patients“I was just 13 when my mother was diagnosed 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. Priya has made it her life’s mission to save as many cancer patients as she can, but she can not do it alone. Nargis Dutt Foundation needs your support. Your donation can not only save cancer patients but can give life to entire families.Need for the fundraiserCancer is often seen as a death sentence. 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.

a) Going by the statistics, DELHI particularly, has the highest ratio of road accident fatalities, in India. Also, the major traffic jams, scarcity and affordability of Advance Life Support (ALS) ambulance services, is the key reason for people dying even without being given a fair chance of reaching the hospital and treatment, in time. On average the ALS ambulance, equipped with lifesaving equipment, costs approximately INR 5000/- to INR 10,000/-, subject to availability.We believe that in the capital of India, i.e. Delhi, people are being deprived of their fundamental right, the right to health, by not being provided treatment in time, due to scarcity of proper ambulance services, which further leads to untimely deaths, a ration, which otherwise would have been better off, had there been a proper ambulance system in place.b) We also run a cremation ground in Delhi, where we carry out free cremations of unclaimed bodies. Mostly unclaimed dead bodies from Police, Hospitals are handed over to us and are then ferried to the cremation ground by our teams and cremated with all due dignity. Our motto is simply, ‘Living for the Dead.’ We cremate such bodies, which are left unclaimed by their relatives for various reasons or which do not have any kin. You will be shocked to learn that such bodies are left in waiting for various days and in some cases for over a month, as no one comes up to help such unclaimed bodies. Ultimately, our teams are handed over these bodies, which are then given their last rites with all the respect. No one cares about these dead bodies and they are left unclaimed which are then taken care of by our teams. 
 a) We want to procure at least 10 ALS Ambulances, for Delhi in the first phase, to serve the population of 2.5 Crore, free of cost. We know that the size ratio of ambulances when compared with the population of Delhi, is too low but we must start somewhere to make an impact. We have already been running free ambulance services free of cost for two and half decades now and have been providing free ambulance services to the needy, with our fleet of ambulances.We believe that by procurement of ten new ambulances, we shall be able to make a major impact in Delhi and NCR as we intend to distribute the working of these ambulances, district-wise in Delhi. Delhi today has 11 districts so we shall depute almost 1 ALS Ambulance, per district.b) Our NGO specialises in dead body management and funeral services. Perhaps during the Covid-19 pandemic, our teams managed and cremated over 4500 Covid infected dead bodies. Since our inception, our teams have ferried over 70,000 dead bodies and we have cremated over 60,000 unclaimed and destitute dead bodies. Our teams specialise in body sanitisation, packing of corpses, transportation of bodies from homes/hospitals/accident sites, the proper funeral of the body, with all due rituals and immersion of ashes of the bodies, in the holy Ganges, in Haridwar.During the Covid-19 disaster, the Delhi administration sought our support in dead body management and funeral management services and we successfully rendered our services, undeterred, without fearing our love. When the World was in lockdown, our teams were fighting covid, out on the roads and in crematoriums. 
 a) We believe that with an average of 100 emergency Calls daily, we shall be able to serve at least half and cater to 50 emergency calls, using these 10 new ambulances and ultimately try and save approximately 1500-2000 lives a month, with a yearly figure of 18000-24000 patients being saved. We shall easily be able to impact around 1,00,000 people (Including Family members of the patients), annually.b) Over the years, the prices for materials used to burn a pyre, have shot up severely, like the wooden logs, ghee, and religious materials, etc, but our services have rather flourished and we cremate an average of 75 Unclaimed bodies a month. Our NGO is a household name today in Delhi and everyone knows that in an event of a death, people can seek our NGO’s services for dead bodies and funeral management, totally free of cost. However, to continue these services, we plan to crowdfund and request people to support us in our noble cause, to easily impact around 6000-8000 People, annually.
