Case Story: Ist beneficiary: He is a male 2 years old boy suffering from Retinoblastoma (It is a rare form of cancer that rapidly develops from the immature cells of a retina, the light detecting tissue of the eye. It is the most common primary malignant intraocular cancer in children and it is almost exclusively found in young children). Due to their financial condition they had been going door to door for financial support and hence could not treat him. His vision started deteriorating day by day and they took him to Somaiya Ayurvihar-Asian Cancer Institute, Mumbai. Doctors informed them that he requires urgent chemotherapy & surgery of the eye as early as possible. His father works as an labourer on a contract basis in a private office and his mother is a house wife.His father earns only Rs.10,000/- per month. Since he has to take care of the family and he naturally is not in a position to bear the cost of the treatment of his son.
