Help those battling Chronic Kidney Disease

As Diwali approaches, the Rangoonwala Foundation (India) Trust is calling on the community to help spread the light of hope among those battling chronic illness. The foundation is seeking support to cover the treatment costs of patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). For many of these patients — whether undergoing dialysis or living with a kidney transplant — medical expenses are a lifelong burden. The foundation extends assistance to socio-economically vulnerable CKD patients across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, helping them access treatment at subsidised rates and avail government entitlements. Despite these measures, a significant cost gap remains, one that patients struggle to meet on their own. The trust emphasises that every contribution is directed towards those genuinely in need, following a process of thorough due diligence.

Any amount in multiples of ₹1,000/- will help patients with:

Dialysis costs

Dialyser and tubing for dialysis

Fistula implants

Blood and/or iron injections

Immunosuppressants for kidney transplant patients

Supplementary medication for other ailments such as hypertension, diabetes, etc.

Support will be prioritised based on the total donations received.

Donations to Rangoonwala Foundation (India) Trust (RFIT) are eligible for 50% exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.
