A Life in Peril: Samoon Foundation Launches Urgent Appeal for Ramswaroop

 Date - Friday, 17 january 2025

What began as a routine act of compassion during Samoon Foundation’s annual

blanket distribution on the night of January 17 , 2025, quickly turned into a race

against time. As volunteers moved through the quiet, wintry streets of Rishikesh

off ering warmth to the homeless, they came across Ramswaroop— a daily wage

laborer from Tehri Garhwal— lying hellessly in the bitter cold, clutching a hand

wrapped in soiled cloth and pain.

His story unfolded painfully: injured by a falling wooden beam, Ramswaroop's hand

had become severely infected, oozing with a foul- smelling discharge. Though he had

once been admitted to AIIMS, Rishikesh, he was discharged prematurely— still critical,

still in need, and now completely alone, with no family to turn to.

W ithout hesitation, the Samoon team gave him a blanket and sprang into action.

Volunteer Gajendra Rana took the lead, working urgently to arrange Ramswaroop’s re-

admission into medical care. But the need is immediate— and far beyond what the

Foundation alone can sustain.

Today, the Samoon Foundation extends a heartfelt appeal for support. Ramswaroop’s

life hangs in the balance, and even the smallest contribution can make the diff erence

between hope and despair. For those willing to help, please contact Gajendra Rana at

+91 94563 25799.

In this moment of urgent need, the Foundation stands firm in its mission— not just to

distribute aid, but to uphold the dignity and humanity of every individual they

encounter

A Lifeline of Compassion: Samoon Foundation Stands by Kailash Lal in Dehradun

    Date - Thursday, 2 February 2025

On February 2, 2025, the Samoon Foundation once again proved that compassion

knows no boundaries. In the heart of Dehradun, the team reached out to Kailash Lal, a

man fighting for his life amidst mounting health and financial struggles. W ith quiet

heart, functioning at only 20 % . His reality had grown increasingly bleak— until help

arrived.

arranging accommodation, delivering a ₹10,000 check to cover two months' rent,

supplying a full two- month ration, providing essential utensils, an extension cord, and

an additional ₹7,000 in cash for immediate needs. This built upon their earlier

assistance of ₹11,000 toward his treatment and hospital care. But their support

didn’t end with resources— it came with empathy.

Kailash's wife stands beside him as his unwavering caregiver, while his sister works as

a domestic helper to make ends meet. His two young children, left in the care of their

ailing grandfather back in the village, wait for brighter days. For this family, every act

of kindness is a beacon of hope.

The Samoon Foundation is committed not only to Kailash’s survival but to restoring

dignity to his life. Their call for public support echoes a powerful message: every

contribution— no matter how small— can bring light to someone’s darkest hour. Through this

act of solidarity, the Foundation continues its mission to transform empathy into

action, one life at a time.
