Access Life Assistance Foundation
Access Life Assistance Foundation, an Indian not-for-profit organisation registered as a section 8 company provides multi-disciplinary supportive care to families who come to various hospitals for their child’s cancer treatment. It provides a loving and temporary home for children undergoing treatment for cancer along with their parents or caretakers. Access Life set up its first center in June 2014 in Chembur and has grown to 6 childhood cancer care centres across #Mumbai, #Pune, #Manipal & #Chandigarh. We are also coming soon with our new centres in #Bengaluru & #Ahmedabad. Through our 6 centers we have offered a holistic support to more than 1266 underprivileged children with cancer, and their families. Families come from remote towns and cities across India seeking treatment for their children affected with cancer. While hospitals extend them quality medical services, the poorer families have no place to stay during the 5-12 months (sometimes extending to 24 months) that it takes to complete the treatment. Along with a home-like environment for these families, we also address the psychological and social effects of cancer by providing practical support services, nutritional support, educational resources, safe transport to hospitals, and recreational programs.
