Gifts and Hope

A huge shout out to Risha Basatwar and Ruchi Basatwar, for choosing Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) as their charity of choice and donating $1100 via “Gifts and Hope”. 100% of the contributions received will be driven to BCH’s “Awareness Outreaches, Screening Camps and Research” as Risha and Ruchi’s bucket of choice. We are extremely thankful to Risha, Ruchi, their parents, and their kind-hearted network of friends and family who contributed towards supporting “Gifts and Hope”! #TogetherWeSaveLives

100% of BCH services are free of cost, and 100% of donations are driven towards our Mission (Donor’s bucket of choice).
With gratitude,

Dr Lopamudra Das Roy, on behalf of the BCH family,

Message from Risha and Ruchi..

In April 2023, our mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. This news was devastating for our family. However, we were lucky it was diagnosed at Stage 2 due to her awareness of breast cancer. After noticing a lump, she immediately took action. While she went through harsh treatments, we felt helpless, unable to do anything. We understood that early detection and cancer awareness is much needed.

One of our friends was going through a similar situation in his family, and he took steps to donate to the cause. This inspired us, and ‘Gifts and Hope’ was born. We started making custom decor pieces and selling them through our Instagram, @giftsandhope. We decided to donate all profits towards cancer awareness and research. We were greatly supported by our family and friends and ended up raising a greater amount than expected. 

While deciding on which organization to donate to, we recalled Dr. Lopamudra, whom we met virtually in an awareness session by the NRIVA. We donated our profits to Breast Cancer Hub. 

Thank you to all of our supporters who believed in us and contributed towards the cause via ‘Gifts and Hope.’ Our Instagram handle @giftsandhope”
