Help the Atkaris handle Lung Cancer

Donation protected
Introduction

Hello! I am sharing disturbing news about our very dear friends the Atkaris. They are a young family of three -  Shailesh, Rupa and their 10-year-old son Samarth living in Toronto, Ontario.  Shailesh has been diagnosed with advanced Stage IV Lung Cancer at just 42 years of age. While Canada does offer one of the best cancer treatments in the world, it is challenging to handle the situation all by themselves with limited resources and no family support locally.

They have big questions before them - treatments, cost of prescription drugs, mortgage, car loans, old parents in India and stable future for Rupa and Samarth and even Samarth’s education. Even small requirements like going to the hospital and back is an expensive affair.

Rupa and Shailesh need all the help they can get to fight with their daily battles and also if possible save for little Samarth's future. 

We are shaken and deeply disturbed by their struggle and we want to help but realize that this is too big an initiative and need all the help we can get for them!
 
Your Donation

Your donation to them would help them tide over the pressing health issue and treatment and deal with the critical situation they are currently in. It also might help build and secure the future of Samarth and Rupa. Your help will be huge with all the extra expenses required for Shailesh's treatment.

How you can help

We are looking for financial help for them at the moment. As a result of COVID-19 and the pandemic lockdown, we all have been impacted financially and need as much support as we can get. With an estimated amount of at least $75,000.00 of required funds, any amount you are able to donate would be greatly appreciated by us and the Atkaris. Please spread the word where you can and encourage others to help in any way they can!

Thank you
