What ₹100 Can Do: Changing a Child’s Future Through Crowdfunding!

In India, every day, nearly 140 families hear the most terrifying news of their lives: their child has cancer.
Each year, over 50,000 children in India are diagnosed with cancer, an illness that doesn’t just break the body but also the spirit and savings of an entire family. Treatment costs can run into lakhs, making it out of reach for countless underprivileged families. Many of these children never complete their treatment. Not because they don’t have the will to fight, but because their families can’t afford to help them survive.
At True Hope Foundation, we’ve witnessed the heartbreaking choices parents are forced to make: food or chemotherapy, rent or surgery, surrender or one last desperate cry for help.
But there is a light in this darkness, crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding: A Lifeline for Families
Through crowdfunding, ordinary people are becoming the reason extraordinary recoveries happen. With as little as ₹100, strangers come together to become a lifeline for a child battling a life-threatening condition. Every rupee collected online becomes a step closer to survival, a hope rekindled, a dream not buried with a diagnosis.
India has seen lakhs of successful medical fundraisers over the past decade, empowering families to access treatment they could never have imagined affording on their own.
According to estimates, over 35,000 medical fundraisers are created every year in India. A large percentage of these are for children below the age of 16, many battling cancer, birth defects, or organ failure. Even the smallest treatments can cost ₹5–10 lakhs, an impossible sum for many.
When the system fails them, it is the kindness of people like you that can keep their child alive.
The Reality of Childhood Illnesses in India
Only 30% of children with cancer in India survive, compared to 80% in developed nations, mainly due to delayed diagnosis and lack of funds.
According to Tata Memorial Hospital, treatment abandonment was once as high as 25% but has reduced to 2% due to structured support. Yet, the need for funds remains urgent as more children get diagnosed every day.
Beyond cancer, hundreds of children battle congenital heart disease, metabolic disorders, and rare syndromes, many needing urgent, expensive treatment.
What Can ₹100 Do? More Than You Think.
You may wonder: What difference can my ₹100 make? The answer: a lot. In the world of crowdfunding, every rupee is a heartbeat. Every donation is a step toward life. And when thousands give just a little, hope becomes real. Here’s what ₹100 helps make possible:
A child gets one more injection they couldn’t afford.
An ICU monitor beeps for another day.
A struggling parent feels seen, supported, and less alone
A campaign grows closer to its goal, rupee by rupee
