Date: Tuesday, December 19, 2023

No one can predict what will happen next or what difficult days one may have to face. Once a well-known journalist who tirelessly reported on the joys and sorrows of others, he found himself in a challenging situation due to a severe illness. The problem was that he didn’t even have money for his own treatment.

Through a respected member of the Samoon family, the journalist's unfortunate situation came to light. The Samoon team promptly visited him at the hospital and provided a check of ₹11,000 as a small assistance for his treatment.

An amount of ₹1 lakh was directly transferred to the account of kidney patient Ankit by generous donors, while a check of ₹51,000 was provided by the Samoon Foundation

Date: Sunday, December 17, 2023

Ankit Meher, a 22-year-old young man from the village of Bacheti, P.O. Jalna, Almora district, was fighting for his life at AIIMS Rishikesh, holding big dreams for the future. Both of Ankit's kidneys had failed, and the doctors had informed him that a kidney transplant was the only solution. His father wanted to save his son's life by donating his own kidney, but the family did not have enough money to cover these expenses. Despite having an Ayushman card, a significant amount of money was still required.

Thanks to the efforts of Samoon Foundation's esteemed senior member Hemant Nyal (Hemu Bhai), who is also from this village and works in Dubai, a total of ₹1.5 lakh has been raised with the support of Uttarakhandi and non-Uttarakhandi families in Dubai. Out of this, ₹1 lakh was directly transferred to the victim's family account by generous donors, while a check of

₹51,000 was provided by the Samoon Foundation.

The Samoon Foundation provided a small assistance cheque of ₹11,000 for the education of the children of another artist who tragically passed away in an accident.

Date: Thursday, December 12, 2023 

Artists play a crucial role in the preservation and development of culture. Their significant contributions to the enrichment and creation of our rich language, literature, and culture are invaluable. Artists dedicate their skills and talents to bring music, theater, dance, and various art forms to the public, yet the economic development of Uttarakhandi artists has not reached the level it should have.

Sometimes, when artists who have devoted their entire lives to the preservation of culture face misfortunes, their families and children go through very difficult times. Without anyone to care for them, the inability to cover the educational expenses of these artists' children can lead to interruptions in their education.

The Samoon Foundation remains committed to supporting Uttarakhand’s artists and their families in every possible way. Previously, the organization has also provided assistance for the treatment of some artists and financial support for the education of others. In this context, the Samoon Foundation has provided a small assistance cheque of ₹11,000 for the education of the children of another artist who passed away in an accident.

On October 25, 2023, the Samoon Foundation provided a small assistance amount of ₹16,000 to support the education of children from another underprivileged family, and assured further assistance for their education.

 

Date: Wednesday, October 25, 2023

Due to unemployment, poverty, and helplessness, three innocent children lost their mother. The poor family appealed to the Samoon Foundation for help in educating and supporting the children.

Poonam Devi, a 32-year-old resident of village Dobari, Bachhelikhal, Tehri Garhwal, suddenly fell ill. Before the family could respond, she passed away. It was reported that Poonam was pregnant, and due to a lack of funds, the family resorted to buying medicine from a nearby pharmacy, but she did not survive the next day. 

Living in a wrecked mud house, her ailing husband, Jitendra Kumar Dhyadi, struggled to provide for the family through labor. With Poonam's sudden death, Jitendra, along with their three children (Shivangi, 9 years; Saumya, 7 years; and Vaibhavi, 5 years) and their elderly grandmother, were in shock. Jitendra was unable to work due to the need to care for the children and also because of the pain in his spinal cord, preventing him from seeking treatment or employment. Therefore, the family turned to the Samoon Foundation for help with the children's education and upbringing.

The Samoon Foundation team visited the affected family at their home and assured them of all possible assistance. On October 25, 2023, the Samoon Foundation provided a small assistance amount of ₹16,000 and promised further support for the children’s education.

By helping those in need within our community, we not only bring about positive change in

 

their lives but also play a vital role in building a stronger society, fostering consensus, harmony, and prosperity. For the past 13 years, members of the Samoon Foundation have been engaged in the noble work of serving humanity and have assisted hundreds of families to the best of their ability.
