This project aims at providing financial help to patients in India, suffering from Cancer, Impact Guru identifies these patients who need financial support for their Hospital Expenses, and supports them through crowdfunding and raising grants. Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. The estimated number of incident cases of cancer in India for the year 2022 was found to be 14,61,427 (crude rate:100.4 per 100,000). In India, one in nine people is likely to develop cancer in his/her lifetime. Lung and breast cancers were the leading sites of cancer in males and females, respectively. Among the childhood (0-14 yr) cancers, lymphoid leukemia (boys: 29.2% and girls: 24.2%) was the leading site. The incidence of cancer cases is estimated to increase by 12.8 percent in 2025 as compared to 2020. Globally, cancer is the leading cause of death, accounting for 10 million, or one in six, deaths in 2020, according to WHO. In India, too, cancer is the leading cause of death, with 7.84 lakh deaths recorded in 2018, and 13.92 lakh cases reported in 2020. As the cost break-up shows, cancer is an expensive illness to manage. Besides, screening for early detection, diagnostics, and treatment, it involves posttreatment care and rehabilitation. Doctor’s Consultation Fee: General Physician: INR 500 to 1000 | USD $ 7 to $ 14 Oncologist: INR 800 to 3000 | USD $ 10 to $ 37 Diagnostic Tests: Screening: This involves conducting tests regularly to look for cancer before any signs or symptoms appear. These include a wide range of different body parts, such as mammography (breast), Pap test (cervical), colonoscopy (colorectal), dermoscopy (skin), and PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test (prostate), among others. Mammography: INR 1000 to 4000 |USD $ 12 to $ 49 Pap Test: INR 500 to 2500 | USD $ 7 to $ 31 Colonoscopy: INR 500 to 2500 |USD $ 7 to $ 31 PSA Test: INR 500 to 1000 |USD $ 7 to $ 12 Biopsy: If screening has not already revealed cancer, a biopsy is conducted, which essentially involves taking a tissue sample to test it for the presence of cancerous cells. The cost depends on the type of cancer and the complexity of the biopsy conducted. INR 2000 to 4000 | USD $ 24 to $ 49 INR 8000 to 10000 |USD $ 98 to $ 122 Imaging: for further investigations Ultrasound: INR 500 |USD $ 7 CT Scan: INR 1,000 to 15,000 |USD $ 12 to $ 182 (depending on the body part) PET CT Scan: INR 5,000 to 25,000 |USD $ 61 to $ 305 MRI: INR 5,000 to 12,000 |USD $ 61 to $ 146 Fitness/blood test: To find out about the fitness and strength of the body, blood tests are conducted. INR 1,000 to 3,000 | USD $ 12 to $ 37 On Average one individual expense per month comes to around: INR 73,700 | USD $ 900, for one patient (please include this is recurring + one-time expenses) So Impact Guru is helping them raise funds and be a support hand for them.

It is a tragic reality that children, particularly those under 5 years old, are vulnerable to infectious diseases like malaria, pneumonia, diarrheas, HIV, and tuberculosis. These illnesses can be devastating, and unfortunately, often result in the loss of young lives. Even older children face significant threats, such as non-communicable diseases, injuries, and conflict. At ImpactGuru, we understand the heart-wrenching toll that these diseases take on children and their families. We have witnessed firsthand the struggles of those who cannot afford the medical treatment needed to save their loved ones. It is a heartbreaking situation that demands our attention and action.

We urge you to join us in this mission to provide hope and healing to those in need. With your help, we can ease the burden of organ failures, enable patients to access the care they so desperately require, and raise awareness about these diseases and their prevention. It is true that every little bit counts and even the smallest monthly donation can make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of patients.

Your support can give them a fighting chance to overcome their illnesses and live the life they deserve. Let us come together to make a meaningful difference in the world, one donation at a time.

This project aims to provide financial aid to patients in India, affected by Spinal Muscular Atrophy Spinal Muscular Atrophy (“SMA”) is a neuro-muscular, progressive, genetic disease that robs people of physical strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. It is the number one genetic cause of death for infants. SMA is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron gene 1 (SMN1). The SMA-affected children and adults are cognitively bright and are budding professionals in various streams, but are physically dependent on their family members, friends, or guardians for any of their daily basic mobility needs. There are 4 types of SMA, SMA Type 1 to Type 4, and many finer variations among these categories. Impact Guru identifies these patients who need financial support for their Hospital and related medical expenses, and supports them through crowdfunding and raising grants. These treatments are using USFDA-approved drugs currently available as follows: - Disease-modifying therapy: These drugs stimulate the production of SMN protein. Nusinersen (Spinraza®) is FDA-approved for both children and adults. Your provider injects the drug into the space around the spinal canal. - Gene replacement therapy: Children younger than two may benefit from a one-time intravenous (IV) infusion of a drug called onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi (Zolgensma®). This therapy replaces a missing or faulty SMN1 gene with a functioning gene - A different medication, Risdaplam (Evrysdi®), helps adults and children older than two months. People take risdaplam daily by mouth (orally). We are currently raising funds to make medical drugs and treatment more affordable for those in need. Our goal is to support beneficiaries and provide them with access to life-saving resources that would otherwise be too expensive. With your help, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those who require medical assistance. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has access to the care they need. Thank you for your support in this important endeavor.
