62-year old Rajan and his family is in dire need of our assistance. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer 2.5 years ago. He was treated at Amrita medical college where he had to spend a lot of money. He then went to Cochin Cancer research center at Kalamassery for chemotherapy and other treatments. The current treatment involves one injection per month for year, each costing Rs. 25,000 at a total of Rs. 3 lakhs.

Rajan was working as a manager in a hotel in Delhi. He came back to Kerala three years back and was staying in a rented house at Aluva. During the flood of 2018, he lost all his possessions. The family then shifted to a rented apartment at Kakkanad. Rajan’s wife is ill and cannot go for work. His daughter completed 12th grade and is working in a call center now. The only income for this family is his daughter’s salary, which is barely enough to cover their rent and daily expenses. The family is struggling to manage the injection costs and they reached out to MicroCharity for financial assistance.

58-year old Rosamma Antony has been struggling with her dialysis expenses for the past 10 months. She and her husband were running a tea shop before she was diagnosed with kidney failure. She needs three dialysis per week at a cost of around Rs. 9000 per week. They had to close the tea shop since Rosamma must go to the hospital very frequently. She is also currently suffering from respiratory issues. The couple has 2 daughters who are already married but are in no position to support them.
The family has no other means of income and no way to raise the Rs. 36,000 needed each month for medical treatment. So they approached MicroCharity for financial assistance.

The family is not able to keep him at home due to suicidal tendencies and violence.

26-year old Josmy has been suffering from kidney failure for over 7 years. She had a kidney transplant at the age of 17, her mom being the donor. But after 3 years, the donated kidney failed. She has been undergoing dialysis thrice a week for the past few years while searching for another suitable donor.

Currently, they found a donor, the crossmatch has been successful and other tests are going on for the transplant scheduled for next month. Josmy was a bright student, a fighter, and an optimist but years of treatment has made her very weak. Despite this, she faces the situation with a smile. She is from a very poor family and her father is a rickshaw driver. He has been finding money for all the dialysis, medications, and tests for several years with the help of a lot of kind souls.

Josmy is now undergoing treatment at ASTER MIMS, KOZHIKODE, KERALA. The cost of the transplant and post-transplant treatment is around 12 lakhs. For a family that is struggling to find money for their day-to-day expenses, this amount is beyond what they can manage. So they reached out to MicroCharity for financial assistance.
