Child cancer is the most curable form of cancer. Despite good medical facilities, 4 out of 10 children don't complete their treatment due to their families being overwhelmed by the financial and emotional burden. 90% of these abandonments happen in the first 4 weeks of the treatment before the definitive funding comes in.
An Emergency Fund for Child Cancer Can Reduce To The Abandonment Rates.
Today, that idea is one step closer to reality. 1SmallStep Foundation is creating a corpus of funds to treat children in emergencies. The Emergency Fund will be used as an interim fund in the initial weeks of treatment to support low income families in their most vulnerable times hence reducing the abandonment rates. Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi, whose son is also a cancer survivor, is driving this campaign. Watch him make a heartfelt appeal in this video.
