Ease the suffering of cancer patients with treatment & care

Every 3 seconds, someone in India needs blood. However, despite half the country's population being energetic youth, India continues to face a massive shortage (about 30 lakh units every year) of safe and timely blood units . Due to COVID, this situation has further deteriorated, with less people coming forward to donate blood. There is, therefore, an urgent need to -<ul><li>Create mass awareness and eliminate the myths that hold people back from voluntary blood donation</li><li>Organize large number of blood donation camps and assist blood banks in ensuring a sustainable and sufficient supply of blood</li><li>Get the youth involved in creating a nationwide movement to make India blood sufficient through safe voluntary blood donation</li></ul> 
 Since its inception in IIT Delhi in 2010, BloodConnect has successfully developed a comprehensive approach to solving the blood shortage by<ol><li>Spreading awareness through webinars, street plays, concerts, and other channels. In 2023, we plan to organize 500+ awareness events to reach out to and motivate more than 10 million people to become blood donors and ambassadors for the cause.</li><li>Blood Donation Camps - Ensuring a continuous supply of blood to blood banks via regular donation camps. In 2023, we will organize 200+ blood donation camps, aiming to collect 15000+ voluntary blood units, with RWAs, markets, malls, colleges, corporates and at other places like bus stands and metro stations, wherever feasible.</li><li>Blood Donation Warriors - Establishing a network of 1000+ youth across the country to become blood donation ambassadors and lead the movement</li></ol>In an attempt to reach more people and save more lives, we rely on funds from individuals and organizations. We are a 100% volunteer-run, registered organization, which means our funding is primarily used for conducting events like Blood Donation Camps and awareness sessions, and is also eligible for tax deductions under 80G and CSR. 
 BloodConnect Foundation was started in 2010 with the mission of Making India Blood Sufficient through Voluntary Blood Donation. Over the last 12 years, we have organized 1446 camps, and collected 128500+ blood units, saving 385,500 lives. Through our 1182 online and offline awareness events across India, we have reached more than 20 million people, making them aware of the cause. In the last three pandemic-hit most challenging years for the blood donation, our team rose to the challenges, organized 485 blood donation camps, collected more than 25,000 units through camps and direct donations at blood bank. However, the mission of Blood Sufficient India is still far, there is a shortage of a few million units every year, and it is still one of the least discussed social issues.

Make India Blood Sufficient, Help Organise Blood Donation Camps!

In 2018 alone, 9.6 Million people worldwide are estimated to die from cancer. However, 30%-35% of all cancer can be prevented (World Health Organisation).The World Health Organization (WHO) defines cancer as “the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells”. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide. India has the third highest number of cancer cases in the world, after China and the US.Childhood Leukemia (commonly known as blood cancer) is the most common form of cancer amongst children, accounting for approximately 32% of all cancer cases in children younger than 15 years of age. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common form of childhood cancer- accounting for approximately 75% of all cases of childhood leukemia.According to the Huffington Post, only 1 in 10 of childhood cancer cases reported in India receive complete therapy. The cure rates for common childhood cancers are 80% in developed countries, however in India they have remained abysmally low at around 30%.Each one of us can make a difference by sponsoring a child’s treatment or enabling their access to supportive service. 
 The Yuvraj Singh Foundation has created a targeted programme aimed at supporting the treatment of children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Through the programme, we support beneficiaries from marginalized and underprivileged backgrounds. One of the key features of this programme is to create a well-planned treatment pathway, encompassing- diagnostic tests, investigations, evidence based second opinion, chemotherapy, supportive care, and counseling and post treatment support. 
 The programme will provide financial support for the treatment of 25 children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This will be done by providing holistic treatment and care to the identified cancer patients, at eminent cancer hospitals which have the three following specializations: medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology. The financial support provided will include - cost of diagnostic tests, investigations, evidence based second opinion, chemotherapy, supportive care and medicines. One of the unique features of the programme is its holistic nature and thus as a process counseling and post treatment support to cancer patients and their caregivers will be provided by certified counselors.

Today, these services reach over 2500 children each day, free of cost. We run our programs in nineteen centres, most of them being in rehabilitation colonies of migrant workers.Our mission is to give children the childhood they deserve.

Please support my cause and help me reach my goal amount faster. Your help will make a huge difference to my causehttps://www.impactguru.com/fundraiser/help-nakul-patil?utm_source=new_campaigner_app_119&amp;utm_medium=share&amp;utm_campaign=email ﻿Hello,My name is Samadhan Patil, and today I come to you with a plea that touches the very core of my being. My beloved son, Nakul Patil, is facing a profound challenge: bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. At just 11 years old, he is navigating a world without the beautiful symphony of sound that so many of us take for granted.Nakul's journey with hearing loss has been difficult, marked by countless moments of frustration and isolation. As his parent, it breaks my heart to see him struggle, to watch him miss out on the everyday joys that most children his age experience effortlessly.But amidst the darkness, there is hope, a revolutionary device that could restore sound to Nakul's world. However, the cost of this treatment is staggering, far beyond what our family can afford. The total amount required is $9900 more than what we have, leaving us in a desperate situation.That's why I am turning to you, dear friends, in our time of need. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, could make all the difference in Nakul's journey toward hearing restoration.With your help, we can give him the chance he deserves to experience the beauty of sound once again – to hear the laughter of his friends, the melody of music, and the warmth of his loved ones' voices.I understand that times are tough for everyone, but I firmly believe that together, we can make miracles happen. Let's come together as a community, rally around Nakul, and show him that he is not alone in this fight.Please consider donating to our crowdfunding campaign and sharing Nakul's story with your networks. Together, we can provide him with the lifeline he needs and bring hope into his life once again.The goal amount of the campaign may be higher than the attached estimates to address and aid the post-hospitalization expenses/contingencies including but not limited to prolonged medication, diagnostics, rehabilitation therapies, and follow-up doctor visits/consultations which vary from disease to disease.

RUCHI : Her Remarkable JourneyIn early 2022, one-month-old, baby Ruchi arrived at PALNA, through the cradle at our gate. Born with multiple congenital conditions and weighing only 2.3 kg, Ruchi was dehydrated and medically fragile — but her feisty spirit, even then, was undeniable. In the medical check-up on arrival baby Ruchi was diagnosed with Nager Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterised by facial and limb deformities. She had complex craniofacial clefts which did not allow her to take any feed through her mouth or vocalise. Her condition required immediate medical intervention and long-term multi-disciplinary care.From the very beginning, Ruchi was surrounded by a dedicated team of doctors, special educator, physiotherapists, caregivers, all working together to give her the best chance at life. Doctors at Lok Nayak Hospital and AIIMS, put surgical plans in place. In February 2023, she underwent her first complex facial plastic surgery. Despite post-surgical complications, she fought through recovery with incredible resilience. Over the next year, she continued with nasogastric feeding, and began rehabilitative therapies: occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech stimulation, and special education. Her caregivers ensured she received the best possible nutritional support and stimulation in a loving environment.In April 2025, Ruchi underwent her second surgery, repairing her lip and palate. This has enabled her to finally transition successfully from tube feeding to oral feeding — a huge milestone in her recovery.Despite developmental delays, Ruchi has made remarkable progress. Her motor development is catching up, and she is now able to climb stairs, is able to vocalise, and follows simple commands. Her psychological assessments show steady improvements in social skills, and she joyfully participates in group play. Her caregivers celebrate each new word, smile, and step. She also interacts by saying "hello" and "bye-bye”.Ruchi is currently under regular follow-up at AIIMS for upcoming surgical procedures and therapy sessions. Her journey is far from over, but her story is already a testament to the power of care, medical support, and love. Pledge your support to so many other children like Ruchi. Contribute now!Many fascinating stories tracing the life journeys of Palna children over the decades have been compiled into a book "The World of PALNA : A Refuge of Love and Hope". The book is available in online bookstores across the world, and all proceeds from its sale go towards supporting the children in PALNA.

Support underprivileged children served by Delhi Council for Child Welfare

Delhi Council for Child Welfare has been serving underprivileged children in and around Delhi since 1952, in line with our mission of “Giving Children a Childhood”. To date our programmes and projects have impacted the lives of over 300,000 children. More details can be found on our website <a href="http://www.dccw.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">www.dccw.org</a>. Pre-pandemic we touched the lives of 3000 children daily. Since all our programmes are targeted at underprivileged children, due to the pandemic several of our programmes have had to be suspended for extended periods of time in line with government guidelines. Covid has also resulted in a financial crunch as all our programmes run on donations, and these have been deeply impacted in these unparalleled circumstances that the world has been faced with. This fundraiser is to raise funds to help bridge this gap to the extent possible. 
 We serve the underprivileged children in and around Delhi, through our different programmes running out of 16 centres located in slum and resettlement areas:<ul><li>PALNA (meaning cradle and nurture) is our home and licensed adoption centre for abandoned / lost / homeless children. It is a best-in-class home in India. It also has a section for special needs children, who will not go in adoption. All the children have been safe from covid.</li><li>Our Educational Sponsorship programme provides financial support, counselling and stationery to school-going children.</li><li>We train adolescent school drop-out girls in income-generating skills through our Vocational Training Programme* (VTP).</li><li>Palna WeeKids* programme prepares children in age group of 2-6 years to get admission into schools.</li><li>Our Supervised Homework Scheme* helps school-going children with their homework so as to help them cope with their schooling and not drop out.</li><li>The Orthopaedic Programme which rehabilitated physically challenged children through necessary surgeries and therapies is suspended since April 2020.</li><li>BalChetna Outreach programme providing daycare and rehabilitation for special needs children is also suspended since April 2020.</li></ul>(* these programmes have had several suspensions over the last 2 years, as per government guidelines on the pandemic. But the beneficiaries do come as soon as the programmes are operational.) 
 <ol><li>PALNA to continue to be known as one of the best homes for abandoned children in India, which works with commitment to ensure the physical, social and mental well-being of each child. At any time there are about 65 children in PALNA. To date 3000 PALNA children have gone in adoption into loving families.</li><li>We aim to support about a 1000 children annually through or Educational Sponsorship Programme</li><li>Annually we train 700 girls in income-generating skills (beauty culture, computers, tailoring.</li><li>Pre-covid we typically have 550 children in our Palna WeeKids programme.</li><li>Pre-covid the Supervised Homework Scheme had over 300 beneficiaries annually</li><li>We hope to restart the BalChetna Outreach and Orthopaedic programme in a phased manner as and when the situation allows.</li></ol>

Bal Chetna (literally meaning Ray of Hope) is DCCW’s programme for the rehabilitation of mentally challenged children in Delhi, India. It was established in 2002 as a residential and day care facility in response to a growing number of mentally challenged children being abandoned at our children’s home PALNA. The day care programme at Bal Chetna grew out of the discovery made by our crèche workers of the many children with mental and multiple disabilities living in slums and resettlement colonies not getting the care and attention they needed. Today Bal Chetna looks after around 150 mentally challenged children at our 3 day care centres at Nithari, Sultanpuri, Janakpuri in Delhi, and at residential facility at Palna which is a home for abandoned children. The Bal Chetna Day Care Outreach Centres are located in the heart of Delhi’s poorest neighbourhoods providing much-needed therapy to special needs children who have almost no other recourse to medical and paramedical facilities. Each centre looks after approximately 30-40 children. The children suffer from various ailments -Cerebral Palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Mental retardation, Downs’ Syndrome, Language and Speech Delay. 	Muscular Dystrophy 
 The centre provides the necessary therapies to mentally challenged children to make them as self-reliant as their condition permits (through language, cognitive and social development) in activities of daily living and where possible, to teach them income-generating skills &amp; activities. We also provide training, guidance and counseling to parents of special needs children regarding the care of their children. We also run an Initiative on health and nutrition: Monitor health of the children and provide special diet / nutrition as required, with additional medication and supplements to build up their hemoglobin and weight in particular. Where possible, the children are taught simple skills, to enable them to make handmade envelopes, paper bags, ‘rakhis (decorative wrist bands)’ and garlands, book/note pads binding. The parents are guided on how to source raw materials for these products and on how to sell the end productsEach centre has trained physiotherapists, special educator, speech therapist, counselors and caregivers to work with the 40 children at Sultanpuri. The parents are encouraged to visit the centre and see what therapies are being done to enable them to learn and practise with their child at home. 
 The impact is gradual but very encouraging. •	Acceptance of these special needs children by their families, •	Encouraging them to participate in their normal activities, •	Raising the child’s self esteem by encouraging the child to learn a skill and becoming a contributing member of the family •	Encouraging parents not to abandon their children. We have several of our children who have started attending school. Our success stories are posted on our website www.dccw.org

Support for Bal Chetna centre for 40 mentally challenged children at Sultanpuri, Delhi

Palna is our home for the abandoned, relinquished and destitute children. Infants arrive in a very precarious state of health in Palna. Some suffer from cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Down’s syndrome, autism, mental retardation etc. These children, aged between 0 to 11 years, with severe mental and physical challenges reside at Palna Bal Chetna residential facility (literally meaning “Ray of Hope”). Of the 80-100 abandoned children residing with us, we have about 15-20 challenged children residing at Qudsia Bagh, New Delhi. We have special therapists, doctors and trained nurses who look after these children with utmost care. Some need intense, round the clock medical care which all comes at a very high cost. We require funds for conducting medical tests like MRI, EEG, routine bloodwork and ultrasound, some of which come at a very high cost. In addition, we need equipments like pulse oxymeter, glucometer, nebulizer, suction machine, and reception machine for their everyday monitoring and care. 
 We have an emergency care medical crisis unit staffed with a qualified medical team for the very fragile children. We seek assistance of nearby hospitals for the very critical. For the others, we have qualified trained therapists who provide the necessary therapies to mentally challenged children to make them self-reliant through language, cognitive and social development therapy, as far as their condition permits. 
 Positive improvement in these abandoned challenged children comes gradually. It takes months of efforts by our trained and dedicated therapists and nurses who look after them with utmost care. The funds we are seeking shall help us in providing better medical care to these challenged children.

The Vocational Training Program (VTP) was started for young girls from economically weak families who drop out of schools. These girls either simply wait to get married or keep house for their dysfunctional families. We run vocational training programs empowering these young girls (aged 14-17 years) with skills and practical competencies for the job market. Tailoring, beauty culture, candle and soap making, computer training, English speaking are some of the courses offered. In addition, the girls undergo short courses in motivation and confidence building, communication and presentation skills, etiquette and attire alongwith legal rights and self defence. Periodic health checkups are also carried out. Currently, we train around 130 young girls in computer training through 3 centres in Trilokpuri I and II and Janakpuri. There is a great demand for computer training in our existing centre in Madipur where we would like to set up a training facility to train 45 young girls. They would be trained in programs like basic computer operation, MS Office, web design, animation. 
 We would require to purchase 15 laptops/ desktop, 1 printer and 1 no. UPS to set up the training centre. We would run three batches of 15 girls each as we do in our centres in Trilokpuri1, II and and Janakpuri. A negligible monthly fee is charged to ensure their attendance in the program. Periodic health check ups are also carried out for all the participants. We are also in the process of working a formal arrangement with NIIT. 
 The impact of this program has surpassed our expectations. The program has greatly benefitted the local communities by empowering their girls, resulting in a greater community support. The biggest impact has been the deferred age of marriage from 15-16 years to 20-22 years. We have many young entrepreneurs who are running their own tailoring shops and beauty parlours or have joined companies. Over 400 girls benefit from this program annually. Many of our young trained girls are employed in back offices. From our Trilokpuri centres, Jyoti and Shivani, work with Bata’s customer care earning Rs. 10,500/- month; Monica has a back office job with Oriental Bank of Commerce and earns Rs 18,000/- month, Juhi works at the front desk in Costa Coffee and earns Rs. 7,500/- month. We have many such success stories and are doing our best to keep adding to the list.
