Ration Distribution to the Mumbai Taxi Drivers in Pandemic
This pandemic has brought in unprecedented times for all of us. Among those who are severely impacted are the Taxi Drivers of Mumbai. For a period of two years they have not received fares. A good number of people used Ola and Uber.
This has led to complete dearth of savings amongst Taxi Drivers impacting their ability to secure daily meals. WithAarya took up the initiative of sponsoring the monthly grocery for the family of 4, of a whopping 300 taxi drivers.

Oxygen Machine At Home!
Meet Vikas Jadhav. He was admitted to KEM last year due to lung infection. His ailment has made him dependent on oxygen 24/7. As he could not afford to have one at his house, he was forced to stay put at KEM hospital. In terms of caretaker he just had his old mother who was looking after him. Having seen his plight, one of the donors at Withaarya arranged an oxygen machine for him. This allowed Vikas the leeway to move back to his house and gave his old mother a respite too. After all in these covid times it is risky for senior citizens to remain in hospitals. There are million ways in which we can help those around us. We at WithArya are happy to come in touch with such amazing souls who don't bat an eye and donate for a cause.

Care For A Makeover?!
We at Withaarya give away 6-8 food packets to few people abandoned and staying on footpath, they are barely surviving forget the hygiene and physical upkeep !!
One of volunteer sunita has come up with an idea to do a small make over for these people so that also look as to part of the society... we have called out for a hair dresser to give them haircut / shave to ensure they start feeling good about themselves!!!!

Our Beneficiaries Helping Us!
Shipra has been a steady beneficiary at our centre. She has been at KEM taking care of her husband for liver aliment for almost 5 months. At times she is extremely tied up with hospital rounds but whenever she has any time free she is always at opportunity to help Withaarya in various aspects, be it distribution / managing queues etc.
Her indomitable spirit has often infected us. Looking at her efforts and zest one of our fellow volunteers has given her a sewing machine with which she can make some living here in Mumbai.
She now makes masks from the same which we distribute along with meals at Withaarya.

Drive For WithAarya From Ohio, U.S.A!
If you have a will, the seven seas between continents does not really matter. We experienced this when Vikrant Chachare, a school student studying in 9th grade, who resides in Ohio, U.S.A, collected a fund for Withaarya. It's really commendable that Vikrant at such a small age and being so far from India, could understand the importance of our mission here at DON GHAAS. His aquaintainces did not know Withaarya so well, but just on his goodwill he attained this contribution. Three cheers to Vikrant and also his parents for imbibing in him such valuables like empathy and love.

Childrens Day Celebration
Children's day is one special day for everyone, big and small. Like the previous years, WithAarya went about in zest to make it a memorable one for all kids in the KEM hospital.
These 3 pediatric wards were lit up with electric smiles on the faces of more than 100 innocent children and their parents who momentarily forgot the pains that they were going through for this day.
WithArya with all its enthusiastic volunteers organized a small children's day celebration.
Acts such as Magic Show, Tattoo Artists, Doremon, Chota Bheem, Gift Sets, Stationery Set, Craft Windmills etc, all added a lot of colour and fun to the otherwise monotonous hospital set up. Innocent laughter and love flowed through the ward and we all felt blessed to be a part of this wonderful day.

CHILDREN AS VOLUNTEERS
Since 17th april 2019, during their vacation period, more than 20 children began doing voluntary service at don ghaas by distributing meals. It was such an enlightening experience for the kids as well as their parents and volunteers. The kids understood the value of food, interacted with the patients and relatives to fathom their plight and hardships they faced during the period of illness.
It would help them become more mature and responsible human beings and uplift their willingness to help the society in such causes in the future.
