Financial Resources for Cancer | Canserve

Cancer survivors and volunteers make up Canserve, a cancer support network. They lend a helping hand to cancer patients and their families/caregivers in whatever manner they can, including financial, emotional, and other forms of assistance. In the fiscal year 2014-2015, they provided financial assistance to over 50 patients totaling over Rs seven lakhs, and also assisted patients with their blood and platelet needs. They also aid in inpatient rehabilitation. Their efforts are aimed at helping cancer patients reclaim their sense of self-worth by providing breast prostheses for free to breast cancer patients, wigs at a low cost to patients in need, and so on. They run cancer awareness programmes (cap) in a variety of settings around Ernakulam, including business and residential associations.
