Help St. Judes India Child Care Centres Give Children Suffering From Rare Condition A Ray of Hope

Rare Condition is a dreadful disease 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, leaving underprivileged families from rural areas with no means to afford it. 

St. Judes India Child Care Centre Has Helped Hundreds Of Families 

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. Judes India Child care Centres brought a ray of light. St. Judes India Child Care Centre runs homes and shelters in 9 major cities across India where they help over 480 families with children undergoing rare condition treatment. 

Since 2006, St. Judes India Child Care Centre 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, organise 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.

They Now Need Your Support 

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. Judes India Child Care Centres needs your help to provide these children with better hygiene and improved nutrition. You can donate groceries and hygiene products and malke a difference. 

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. Judes India Child Care Centres India a ray of hope.
