Why Support Our Campaign? Adopt a Patient’s Family Campaign
- An accident that results in the death or serious injury of a family member or the breadwinner of the household has serious consequences for that household.
- Road accidents in India cost households seven months’ income and push families into poverty and debt, according to the World Bank.
- As part of our Adopt a Patient’s Family Campaign, we aim to assist the families of those whose family member has been injured.
- Donations we receive help a family build the skills of one or more members of the family so that he or she can earn a living and support the family in the future.
- The patient’s family can benefit from your donations by learning new skills, taking care of daily expenses, and living a normal life.
- Approximately 75% of underprivileged households affected by a road traffic crash reported a decline in income.
- A World Bank report reveals that 42% of low income Indians are in debt as a result of road accidents.
- In India, the majority of underprivileged people cannot afford to cover the extra expenses on their own and thus their family suffers.
- Along with medical costs, there are expenses like the cost of housing, food, and shelter of the entire family.
“Adopt a Patient’s Family”
The VAAG Health Foundation – Adopt a Patient’s Family campaign started as part of the organization’s mission to help families of patients by providing them skill sets which may help them to live a normal life. According to VAAG, individual assistance cannot be sustained until the socio-economic condition of the entire family improves.
Learning New Skills:
As the sole breadwinner in the family is usually the one disabled by trauma, upskilling the remaining family members is extremely important. However, in absence of a formal social support system in India, these families get shattered following such medical events. If you wish to adopt a patient’s family make sure you are making them capable enough by allowing them to learn a new skill. This will help them to earn for themselves and for their families, besides making them independent.. This will also help them take better care of the patients at home. We at VAAG believe that this is the only to make your donations impactful and scalable in the truest sense.
