Sukhchand is a very hardworking, 28 year-old farmer, residing in the Adivasi village of Madanpur, in Paraswada Block of Balaghat District, Madhya Pradesh. He has been one of the best community resource persons, working with PRADAN NGO, Balaghat team for the past 10 years. It has been his hard work and active involvement with the community which has led Madanpur to develop into an organic village today. He has also been a backbone for implementation of government  projects such as Mahila Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP) and also projects funded by Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) in Paraswada Block.
For the last six months he has been suffering severely in terms of health. He is diagnosed with 'Adenocarcinoma colon', which is the large intestine cancer. He has also been operated for bypass, for stool excretion. He is now going through chemotherapy, at the Laxmi Narayan Hospital, in Jabalpur, which is more than 200 kilometres away from his home.
The cost of each chemotherapy session, including travel, medicines and tests, comes up to Rs.30,000. He has completed 2 phases of the therapy and has to go through 4 more such sessions.
We need to raise an amount of Rs. 1,20,000 in total. We, present and ex-PRADANites of Balaghat team, who know Sukhchand personally, are doing our best to fight this phase which he and his family is going through.
Sukhchand has a 3 year old son and a 10 months old daughter, wife, elderly parents and a younger brother. He is an important bread-earner of his family, and has to shoulder many responsibilities. He is also one of the most warm and kind people.
We want you to extend any possible help, so that we together can help Sukhchand, give the life he deserves.
