Access Life

Access Life We are Access Life, an NGO, committed to working with and making a difference in the lives of children

We offer free shelter to children undergoing cancer treatment

Access Life - a social organization came to existence in Chembur. Started by experienced young entrepreneurs from travel and media, the NGO aims to make a difference to the lives of children from weaker sections of the society. Presently, the organization is engaged in providing free accommodation, transportation, nutrition, counselling, recreation, education and an inspiring living environment to poor children undergoing cancer treatment. Every month, thousands of cancer patients come to this city to receive treatment in aided hospitals. These patients travel great distance, often mortgaging their homes and fields in the hope of finding the best possible cancer treatment at charitable cost. As treatments stretch from days to months these families are sometimes forced to live on the streets, fending for themselves in menial ways. Access Life has launched a Patient Care Centre that not only provides to free accommodation but also strives to make their stay memorable with fun-filled activities and ambiance. Set up with the help of professionals, experts and enthusiasts from social sector, the patient care centres currently have capacity to house 82 patient families in Mumbai, Pune, Manipal and soon in Chandigarh . The Founders of the NGO share a common zeal and enthusiasm and are equally devoted to the cause. Girish Nair & Ankeet Dave have known each other for years and have volunteered together for various causes. The idea of having an NGO of their own took shape after repeated visits to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital

๐Ÿ† Celebrating a Meaningful Partnership & Recognition

A proud moment for Access Life Assistance Foundation! ๐Ÿ’›

We are honoured to have been recognised at the 7th edition of The Restore Awardsยฎ๐ŸŒโœจ

Representing Access Life ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ, our Founder Ankeet Dave was present to receive this special recognition โ€” a moment that celebrates not just an award, but the collective effort behind our mission to ensure that no child fights cancer alone.

What makes this recognition especially meaningful is the relationship that has grown over the years with Dr. Rachna Chhachhi and the Kindness Practice Foundation.

Rachna has consistently thought of Access Life ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ, spoken about our work, included us in initiatives and helped create greater awareness about the lives of children with cancer and their families.

We are especially grateful to Shweta Kawaatra, who presented the award to Access Life ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ. A celebrated television actor and Kindness Ambassador, Shweta is also a strong advocate for womenโ€™s mental health.

The Restore Awardsยฎ is special because it creates a platform for people and organisations doing meaningful work.

This recognition becomes even more special because of our collaboration with the Kindness Practice Foundation. ๐Ÿค

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Rachna Chhachhi, Shweta Kawaatra, Aradhna, and the entire Kindness Practice Foundation team for your trust, support and for bringing us together through this meaningful platform.

This recognition also comes at a special time as we celebrate our nutrition partnership with the Kindness Practice Foundation. We are proud to have signed an MoU focused on strengthening nutritional support for children and families at Access Life ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ.

Through this partnership, the Kindness Practice Foundation will bring its nutrition expertise to all 15 Access Life ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ centres.

๐Ÿ“ ACCESSLIFE THIRUVANANTHAPURAM CENTRE

At just 1ยฝ years old, little Iniya from Tirunelveli is showing incredible courage. ๐Ÿ’›

His journey began with fever, cough and cold, followed by fits and seizures. When he later had difficulty raising one hand, an MRI revealed a brain tumour.

๐ŸŒŸ MEET GOUROB: A LITTLE BRAVEHEART WITH A BIG SPIRIT! ๐ŸŒŸ

At just 8 years old, Gourob Das from Cachar, Assam, is beginning a difficult treatment journey, but his energetic smile and playful spirit continue to shine through. ๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŒˆ

For Gourob and his family, life changed when he was diagnosed with Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma (NLPHL). He is currently undergoing treatment at Cachar Cancer Hospital and Research Centre.

While treatment takes Gourob through hospital visits and difficult days, his parents are by his side, navigating each step with courage and hope. For a family going through cancer treatment, being away from the comfort of home can bring another set of worries: where to stay, what to eat, how to travel to the hospital and how to keep life as normal as possible for their child.

๐Ÿก This is where Access Life Silchar becomes their Home Away From Home.

At Access Life, Gourob and his family now have a safe and supportive place to stay during his treatment journey, along with nutritious food, transportation, counselling and non-formal education.

For Gourob, it means having a place where he can run, explore, play and make new friends. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ’›

For his parents, it means one less worry during a time when their focus needs to be on their child.

โœจ Sometimes, a Home Away From Home is more than four walls.

It is a place where a child can still laugh.
Where parents can breathe a little easier.
Where difficult days can hold moments of joy.
And where a family knows they are not alone. ๐Ÿ’›

Welcome to the Access Life family, Gourob! ๐Ÿก๐ŸŒˆ

May your days here be filled with laughter, friendship, courage and countless happy moments.

๐ŸŽ—๏ธ Because no child should have to face the journey of cancer alone.
