Funeral AID for Kidney Patients
Objective
The main goal of the project is to strengthen the families of kidney patients who have passed away and to show that we all stand by them. And to let them know that they are not alone.
Target Beneficiaries
Once a person becomes a kidney patient, he/she will have to face different kinds of difficulties in life. Most of these patients will have economic issues, as a kidney patient cannot exert themselves and work to earn but they will have to spend for their medications to live an extra day. Special treatments such as dialysis are very important for kidney patients, yet very expensive. In a family with a kidney patient, the children and other family members will have to have more patience in their day-to-day life and avoid many habits they had before to maintain their economy. Also, the family members will have to go through a hard time due to economic issues, health issues and even mental health issues. After suffocation, some kidney patients will not be able to make it till a new kidney is transplanted. In such unfortunate times, our association donates a certain amount for the purchasing of a coffin or the use of the funeral on behalf of the lost life. The funeral donation project has surely been a great support to the family members of a kidney patient who has passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
Scope and Scale
Our association successfully continued the project for the last 10 years, supporting family members of kidney patients and being motivated for their lives.
During the COVID-19 pandemic also, we were able to donate and support families when their kidney patients passed away.
