MY APPEAL

I am raising funds for the Cause of Cancer and support patients

The incidence of Cancer is on the rise and more than 50 % of the cases are detected at advanced stage in India. Early detection can improve the survival rates by 50 to 80 %.

Indian Cancer Society whose motto is “To be the beacon of hope against cancer” spreads the message (in a non-threatening way) that cancer is treatable and curable if detected early. ICS, Bangalore is reaching thousands of under-privileged people in both rural and urban Karnataka with free Awareness and Screening camps for early detection of Oral, Breast and Cervical cancer. It carries out anti-tobacco campaigns especially in High Schools and Colleges.

Besides, ICS provides a) financial assistance to low-income cancer patients through various hospitals across the state; b) Emotional counselling to patients and caregivers, and c) supplies free wigs and prostheses for those in the rehabilitation stage.

Sanman Society is a citizen volunteer group that supports and assists families and patients for patients battling debilitating illnesses.They provide for the medical assistance and support to needy poor patients in particular children suffering from cancer. A large number of patients do not have the financial ability to sustain their treatments. They manage to reach out to hospitals and initiate the treatment however, they have to abandon this due to paucity of funds. Several schemes are available to fund the treatment, these however are not within the reach of all the underprivileged.

Please help support my cause and donate. Your donation will support patients and their families battling with Cancer
