About:
My name is Karan Shanbhag. I am 16-years old and a Grade 11 student at Sishya School, Adyar, Chennai.
I have undertaken this campaign to support cancer patients in India who struggle with the emotional and psychological impact of hair loss due to chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
I was saddened to discover that many cancer patients delay or avoid treatment due to the fear of social stigma and judgment associated with hair loss. This harsh reality touched my heart, and I felt compelled to do my part. That's why I am supporting The Cherian Foundation in providing high-quality wigs to cancer patients from economically weaker sections of society. This would help restore their dignity and self-confidence.
These wigs are specially designed for sensitive skin and will be distributed across 16 premier hospitals in India. Each wig costs INR 9000, but Raj Hair Pvt Ltd covers INR 3000. My goal is to raise INR 6000 per wig to bridge the shortfall.
I believe that every individual deserves to live with dignity and confidence, especially during their toughest battles. Your contribution will bring a smile to a cancer warrior's face and help them regain their self-esteem.
