Help St. Jude India Childcare Centres Give These Children Suffering From Rare Condition A Ray of Hope

Rare Condition has been around for as many years as we can remember. This dreadful disease is known for causing a lot of distress, pain, and weakness, even during the course of the treatment. Rare Condition can be painful not only for the patient but also for the families. 

The treatments can be financially and mentally draining. Many families who live in urban areas have some awareness. However, underprivileged families from rural areas have little or no awareness at all. 

According to the WHO, around 300,000 children aged 0 to 19 years old are diagnosed with rare condition each year. 

Among this large chunk of children, many of them come from disadvantaged families that cannot afford the treatment. Parents who come from rural areas of India often have no other option but to come to the city for treatment. These families are often employed in the unorganized sector and can barely afford proper food. 

It’s for these families and many others, that St. Jude India Childcare Centres brought a ray of light. St. Jude India Childcare Centres runs homes and shelters in 9 major cities across India where they help over 400 families with children undergoing rare condition treatment.

Since 2006, St. Jude India Childcare Centres has impacted the lives of over 20,000+ children with rare condition. 

They offer rooms for the child and parents to stay, help them commute to and from the hospital, organize recreational activities for the families, provide value-based education, and also provide counselling for the parents to give them the support they need. Their centres are entirely free of cost with hygienic rooms and nutritious meals.

The Coronavirus pandemic has had a huge toll on these children. Rare Condition treatment lowers immunity and the illness causes weakness. These children are already immunocompromised and have an increased risk of being infected with COVID-19. If these children fall sick, it can be fatal. 

St. Jude India Childcare Centres needs your help to provide these children with better hygiene and improved nutrition. Your contributions will not only help the families in need, but also give these children a fighting chance against this dreadful disease. 

Donate now, to give these children in St. Jude India Childcare Centres India a ray of hope.
