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.

This Diwali, help Dr. Bhagat care for 500+ elderly parents rescued from abuse and homelessness

In the dark and dingy alleys of red light areas, injustice, pain and suffering run rampant. And the worst affected are the children who grow up in red-light areas and are subjected to constant abuse and violence. “The sight of a 12-year-old girl being gang-raped by a group of men near a house l haunts me to this date. I was filled with anguish and resolved to do something,” says Girish Kulkarni who has made it his life’s mission to rescue children from red light areas and give them a safe and secure childhood. In the last 3 decades Girish has saved over 1100 girls from a life of abuse in red-light areas, giving them a loving home, education and medical care. He has further supported over 20,000 children with a better life.Sadly, 250 of the children rescued from abuse and exploitation are HIV positive. The high cost of medication has left Girish struggling for funds. Your support can help him provide these children with the care and upbringing they need.

I had even seen my friend’s 15-year-old sister and 70-year-old grandmother being forced to do sex work for the price of a cup of tea”, recalls Girish. “I started by merely feeding and teaching children of sex workers initially with the intention of giving them some respite from the horrors of life of abuse in red-light areas. Gradually more and more mothers started coming to me and asked me to take their children away, even if it was just for a couple of hours,” he further adds.The work that Girish started in his youth gradually grew to become a movement, with many more joining his cause. His NGO Snehalaya to date has transformed the lives of millions. Girish’s work is crucial for the survival and safety of vulnerable children of sex workers. Snehalaya is almost entirely dependent on donations from the public and your support can strengthen his mission to save children most in need. Donate generously.The horrors of life in red light areas“The cruelty and abuse that children as young as 6 or 7 years of age face is something that I can’t explain in words. Young daughters of sex workers are made to watch their mothers being raped, are brutally assaulted and forced into sex work. No child deserves to grow like this, Girish says in anguish.Sad reality of life for children growing up in red light areas is that they are deprived of even the most basic needs like proper food, safety and education. Moreover, a majority of children rescued by Girish are diagnosed HIV positive. The task of securing medication, providing them quality education and much needed nutrition is one that requires constant support from donors. Moreover, the increase in healthcare cost has left Girish struggling to keep his home for children going. But your support can enable him to give his children a loving environment and save many more who still remain trapped behind closed doors.Donate to this fundraiser by Give, India’s largest and most trusted online donation platform, to help Snehalaya give hundreds of children rescued from red-light areas a life away from violence and abuse.

“They insert a candle in the vagina, fingers are inserted (in the vagina) and tortured, and if children don’t relent even then, they put chilli powder so that children will say “yes” because of the burning of the skin… There are teeth marks on their bodies, and their vaginal parts are burnt. When children stay in these conditions, it is painful even to hear,” says Lalitha SA of Society for Participatory Integrated Development (SPID), in course of talking about many heart-rending stories of trafficked children in red-light areas.In over three decades, the SPID led by Lalitha, has saved over 3000 children from the red-light areas, many from clutches of sex trafficking.Sadly, many more children need to be rescued and in need of a loving home.

Close your eyes and reflect for a second! Has cancer affected someone in the circle of people you know (family/extended family/friend/neighbor/colleagues family)? 2020 itself recorded over 19 million cancer cases worldwide. Every year there are 300,000 children diagnosed with childhood cancer, with India having over 80,000 cases. Most of these children belong to low or middle-income family groups due to which the families are not able to offer proper care and treatment. The scourge of cancer takes a great toll on a family physically, emotionally, financially. Now imagine the effect on a poor worker in a small town or a farmer in a village in rural India! They need help with proper guidance, diagnosis, treatment, finances and counselling. They need #AccessToCare and the right to live a full life.  Founded in 2004 by Poonam Bagai, herself a Cancer Survivor, CanKids has taken the lead in providing complete care to Children with Cancer reaching out to over 20,000 children in 2020. We need your help to win atleast #HalfTheBattle this year and help at least 40,000 children in the coming years. 
 The CanKids model of YANA (You Are Not Alone) is a holistic approach beginning from detection to treatment and recovery for children with cancer and their families. This has been implemented in partnership with 103 cancer centres in 43 cities and 22 states across India. We also built 10 Home Away From Homes where families visiting cities for treatment can stay with dignity in a homely, caring and positive environment.  With #CanKidsCan we are raising resources and funds to expand this proven model and reach places where hospitals, proper shelter and treatment are not available to provide #AccessToCare to even more children with cancer and their families.  Your donations will give them diagnostics, proper medical support, a home away from home, emotional support and counselling. Rs 2500 provides holistic treatment for a child with cancer for a month. 
 We believe that there should be no reason for a kid with cancer to lead a different life from any other child. With our campaign #CanKidsCan, we wish to create a cancer-free world for them and impact the lives of at least 40,000 children with cancer in 2021. Your kind and quick action can help us win #HalfTheBattle, decrease the death rates and maybe terminate childhood cancer completely in the near future. Every contribution from your side can and will create a huge difference and bring smiles to the faces of childen with cancer and their families.It is time to Fight #HalfTheBattle for them because #CanKidsCan! Because everyone has a right to LIVE!

Help Kids With Cancer Win #HalfTheBattle Because We Believe #CanKidsCan!

In a survey, we have done across 4 cities 85% childhood cancer survivors had missed more than one year of education because of cancer. CanKids is progressing in our efforts of support and reaching out to more children with cancer and their families, but still a lot to be achieved, and one of that is tough, painful time that these children have to face during their treatment, not only of the painful procedures, but also through the stigma still attached to the disease leading to most of the children facing the ignominy, as they are forced to miss years of their precious childhood, their friends, education 
 We at CanKids advocate for Children for their Right to education through our non formal education model, through which our specially trained teachers through specially devised individual curriculums based on the capabilities, understanding of each child helps the children to be best with education, so they do not feel left out once they go back after their treatment. Back to School, is a campaign to salute the fighting spirits of these children by providing them books, school bags, stationery, colors, lunch boxes, water bottles and so on, as to provide them much better feel when they are with our non-formal education teachers at the centers. Also, collect funds through online platform INR1500/- towards learning activity cost per child or INR 6000/- for annual education scholarship per child. 
 In the year 2017-18, CanKids have reached out to 13,244 children with cancer across PAN India to give education through 3500 learning sessions at our CanKids Chattai Clinics at 51 CanKids Hospital support Units (CHSUs) in 18 cities. Children are getting awareness about education opportunities during their cancer treatment and applying for the scholarships and funds. At CanKids we have provided more than 300 education scholarships to kids across India to do secondary and senior secondary studies.

Childhood Cancer Knows no borders -Neither should its cure #nomoreborders-India

80% of children with cancer live in low middle-income countries like India. They have less than a 20% childhood cancer survival rate. In terms of numbers, India accounts for 80,000 cases out of 400.000 cases worldwide. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month and we are raising funds for holistic care and support for an additional 500 COVID affected children.The last 18 months of the COVID pandemic has meant that many children had to abandon treatment; lockdowns meant they were unable to make it to the cancer centre. While treating doctors and Civil society organizations are working hard to keep the children on therapies, we are seeing more relapse of treatment, children are coming in more advanced stages of the disease, and a sharp drop in the number of newly registered patients failing to even commence treatment; so many more families who have lost livelihoods are in dire need of full support for treatment. Our medical support budget for the year is rapidly getting exhausted. 25% of the 116 hospitals we partner with each year have already used up most of their annual budgets of support, and we have just passed half the year. We need your help. INR 25,000 per year enables us to hold the hand of one family and provide holistic care and support. That is just 27$ per month. With your support we can reach out to 500 children with cancer who need to come back to treatment NOW! 
 1. #CycleForGold, a month-long cycling event (10th Sep to 8th Oct). Our goal is to raise INR 1.25 Crores for support for an additional 500 children and also cross a distance of 80,000 KM’s (1 KM for every case of childhood cancer detected in India/ year)2.
