Cancer Treatment Support

$8,513 of $5,000 goal
Given by 92 generous donors in around 3 months

An unexpected situation arose in our mate's life and it turned out to be as drastic as cancer. The only saving grace was, it got diagnosed

Nationwide

Would love to see the power of networking and how every little contribution makes a difference to their lives. Monetary assistance is the only way we all can hope to make a change to them. Everything else is completely reliant on the treatment without any of our control. This little contribution will certainly unburden the financial side of things.

Update for 16/06/2014  16 June 2014

It is with utmost sadness that I'm writing this final update email to you lot who have helped in one way or the other to this cause. My friend - Shridhar Bhat, as he was known as, passed away in the early hours of today morning NZT. His battle with Burkitts Lyphoma couldn't last any longer and he breathed his last after a 5-month struggle. As shocking as it may or may not sound, what's more sadder is the fact that he was only 33 yrs old, non-smoking-teetotaler-pure vegetarian-100% fit guy and had no symptoms of anything unusual. From the time of diagnosis he lived for less than 5 months in total, of which almost 4+ months he was in the hospital. A perfectly healthy person had absolutely no clue what life had in store for him. This just shows how unfair life can be to even the nicest of the people. Anyway on his behalf I just wanted to thank you all for all the support, love, prayers and blessings that were showered over him over the last 5 months. And during this period one message he constantly passed to me, which I inturn I want to let you all know is ""Please appreciate whatever you have in life and enjoy each & every second of it - life is too short to be chasing something you don't have. And most importantly take good care of your body when you can, 'cuz even the best of the doctors cannot foresee the uncertainties that occur underneath the skin"". For now I shall pass all your condolences to his family, knowing that he's in a better place than the rest of us. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me after 6pm anyday. The news to me is still unfathomable and its a lot easier to not lose focus at work, if I'm not contacted during business hours.
