Chandigarh, 01st
Feb, 2020:- In
an endeavor to provide holistic help to cancer patients, around 27 donors in the
memory of their loved ones, who lost their lives to cancer, gave financial aid
of Rs 10,000 each to 24 recipients at Sahayta Cancer Kendra, Sector 15
B, here.
The event is being organized by
Sahayta Charitable Welfare Society to mark the celebration of ‘World
Cancer Day’ at its premises.
Speaking on the occasion, Ajay Tulli, Administrator, Sahayta Charitable
Welfare Society said that the treatment of cancer is expensive, which
breaks the backbone of the patient & his or her family financially. Today
from this platform the donors, who have lost their loved ones to the disease
and understand the acute pain of the patients & their families have given
the much needed financial assistance to them.
Renu
Saigal, President, Sahayta Charitable Welfare Society & who
is also a cancer survivor said that it is good to see the people coming forth
in this great cause to help cancer patients and their families. All the
recipients who were given financial aid were from the economically weaker
section.
She added that we should create more
awareness campaigns on a large scale, so that the cancer gets detected at an
early stage. We also need to inspire more people from different strata of
society to come forward and help alleviate the pain of cancer being suffered by
needy patients.
Apart from providing financial help
to needy cancer patients Sahayta Charitable Welfare Society also observes 'Pink
October' as Breast & Cervix Cancer Awareness Month, and organizes a 'Breast
Cancer Walkathon' every year.
The society's aim is to generate awareness
about the prevention of cancer and it holds events and interventions on a
regular basis to fulfill the objective.
It is noteworthy that Sahayta
Charitable Welfare Society since inception has helped over 2000 needy cancer
patients.
