At this Kochi shop, veggie kits are free for poor cancer patients
The Hindu
It now serves 29 patients every week
Two months ago when a vegetable shop was opened at Pazhangad in Edavanakkad near Vypeen, a frail-looking woman approached the shop owners seeking help to feed her son suffering from cancer.
Her son had to be fed a lot of vegetables but she hardly had the means for it as her husband was also bedridden. So, the owners — Santhosh P.T and K.A. Rasheed — chose to provide vegetables for free on compassionate grounds. She returned a week later and it was repeated all over again.
“It was then we thought of helping people desperately in need of it. We decided to regularly give free vegetables to cancer patients from poor families. Now, we support around 29 such patients every week,” said Mr. Santhosh.
