Children with Cancer

The Maharagama Cancer Institute is a government-operated hospital
in Maharagama, Sri Lanka, which cares for patients afflicted with
cancer. While patients avail of this facility for treatment, their
families, who suffer along with them, are also at hand, often without
proper food, lodging and other basic needs. Assistance we provide
will not be directed to the government owned facility or to the
government of Sri Lanka. We will directly assist the patients and
their families and, in doing so, will enlist the support of the
volunteer run Sri Lanka Cancer Society, CandleAid Lanka, and other
volunteers based in Sri Lanka. The children, afflicted with cancer
and treated at the Maharagama Cancer Institute, are cared for in
their own homes throughout the island. We provide a monthly allowance
for their care and support. We have provided a monthly allowance
to over 180 patients, and currently assist 50 children
and 7 adults being cared for in their village homes, throughout
the island. Unfortunately, due to the nature of this illness, many
of the patients have passed away. We are seeking other such patients
in need to assist.
