Impact:

Patient: Mr. Tukaram Topre:
This patient was on a support program with V Care. He was asked by the doctor to take oral chemotherapy. The medicine, being strong, it was necessary for him to have a healthy diet. This patient was from the bpl category (below poverty line) and it was difficult for him even to buy milk for his daily tea

V Care then decided to give him a monthly ration, so that he could get a healthy diet, and also some money towards his milk and diet expenses
