"A helping hand.."

In February 2024, the 3-year-old child of an old member of the organization suffered from paralysis and was brought from Raigad district to Wadia Hospital in Mumbai for proper treatment. The little child needed occupational therapy to get rid of this disease, and a large sum of money had to be raised for that. The member and his family were at a loss as to what to do in this sudden medical emergency, but when the organization came to the attention of the organization, without a moment's delay, the organization "lent a helping hand." This small campaign was carried out and a large amount of money was collected and handed over to the baby's family for his treatment. Today, the boy's health has improved significantly and he is living a happy and healthy life.
