THE BACKDROP :
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and is responsible for about 10 million deaths per year. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. The problem is huge in India too and it creates havoc in the lives of many families. There are thousands of patients who flock to the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai and many of them need Chemotherapy to survive cancer.
For these patients who come from underprivileged families, funding their Chemotherapy is a huge challenge. The ability to get it done is a matter of life and death literally for them.
THE INITIATIVE :
We the members of the Rotary Club Of Worli Bombay Trust, would like to help cancer patients from poor homes who are suffering from cancer by funding their Chemotherapy. The biggest challenge for many is funding the cost of treatment.
The club has partnered with Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai for this initiative. The cost of chemotherapy is different for different treatments. The Rotary Club of Bombay Worli will fund INR 3000 per patient per session and any difference in the costs will be covered by the hospital. This initiative aims to raise INR 60L and impact 500 underprivileged cancer patients for an entire year. Each of them will get 4 free sessions through this campaign.
PATIENTS IMPACTED BY THIS INITIATIVE IN THE PAST :

If you fund,
INR 6000, you help provide 2 chemo sessions.

INR 30000, you help provide 10 chemo sessions.
All funding has 80G tax benefits.
PROJECT UPDATE :

ABOUT ME :
My name is VIJAY R SINGH. I am a member of the Rotary Club of Worli Bombay Trust.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally and is responsible for about 10 million deaths per year. This initiative of ours is to help cancer patients (both young and old) from low-income homes with free chemotherapy sessions. This is being done at the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai.
While all of us complain about how things around us need to improve, very few of us actually get to do something about it. Thanks to the tie-up with Rotary the cost of chemotherapy is done at a cost of just INR 3000 per session. Each of the patients will get 4 free sessions through this campaign. In total, our Rotary club aims to impact 500 Cancer patients for an entire year. This works out to 500*4*3000 = INR 60L in total.
Please do support this campaign and let us together help create a cancer-free society. An act of kindness from you will help transform the life of an underprivileged person suffering from cancer.
If we raise more, then we will support more patients and help save more lives.
