About Us

Our Story, Mission & People

A community trust built by doctors, survivors, and volunteers who believe no one should face cancer alone.

๐ŸŽฏ

Our Mission

To spread cancer awareness, guide patients through their treatment journey, and remove the logistical and financial barriers that stand between a patient and timely care.

Our Vision

A future where every cancer patient in India โ€” regardless of income or location โ€” has access to early detection, quality treatment, and a support system that carries them through recovery.

How We Started

The trust was founded in 2013 by a small group of cancer survivors and volunteers, led by an oncologist, Dr Sunil Kumar, who saw firsthand that medicine alone often isn't what decides whether a patient completes treatment โ€” transport, accommodation, finances, and information do.

What began as informal help for a handful of families in a district of Bihar, assisting with their cancer treatment at AIIMS (New Delhi), has grown into a network of awareness camps, hospital partnerships, and patient support services reaching thousands of families every year across Bihar, Jharkhand, and eastern Uttar Pradesh.
