Have a chapter in USA too, Access Life America which is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization aligned with the same cause https://accesslifeamerica.org/
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 many childhood cancer care centres across Mumbai, Through our centers we have offered a holistic support to more than 500 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. Many end up living on footpaths or are forced to abandon 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.
