| Project Name | 26 seater van cost |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 1675000 |
| Project Description | Our bravehearts have low immunity levels and using public transport exposes them to risk of infection that can hamper their progress in recovery. Given that each family makes an average of four trips to hospital per week during the course of the treatment, stress free transportation is a critical element of supportive care.
Given the increasing number of families we are supporting, we had a need for a larger vehicle like the 26 seater bus that we were able to procure from the fund raised
This supports our facilitation of their free transportation comfortably, as they go to the hospital for investigations, chemotherapy treatment/ surgery and follow-up, while their stay at Access Life. |
