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.
