United Way of Greater St. Louis sees how a little extra help and support can help those in the Greater St. Louis region live their best possible lives. Every year, thousands of families and individuals in the St. Louis region need help with basic needs.  There is so much pressure surrounding the holidays, and for some families, it’s near to impossible to meet their basic needs met — let alone have resources for gifts for their children. Through 100 Neediest Cases, a partnership with United Way of Greater St. Louis and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, we can help support individuals and families in the Greater St. Louis region with the necessities they need to have a brighter holiday season. The holidays should be about hope, about bringing happiness to our family, friends, coworkers and neighbors. Through 100 Neediest Cases, we can give hope. WHY IT MATTERS  When you give through 100 Neediest Cases, you help families and individuals relieve stress by giving gifts that so many of us take for granted: rent, utilities, car repairs, a holiday gift, new shoes, gifts for children or buying the warm coat they need. You can be confident your gift is making an impact because all individuals or families helped through the program must have Income 125% of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines and two documented unmet needs. WHO WE HELP  Together, we can help the more than 4,300 community members in our region this holiday season. You can help families, like M’s. M is 10 years old and lives with her grandmother and an aunt, who has a developmental disability and requires around-the-clock care. The family is paying off a large car repair bill and their home is in disrepair. This holiday season, the family could use financial help to pay the bills. Whether you give $5, $20 or $500, your gift today helps provide a warm holiday meal for a homebound senior, presents under the tree for a single mom and her children, and the basic needs for so many in our community. Make your gift and make somebody’s holiday season. Your gift means more than you think. Support United Way of Greater St. Louis’ 100 Neediest Cases fund.

Knowledge Empowers and Happiness Heals Our vision and belief is driven by the high success rate of childhood cancer treatment (nearly 85%). "A creative learning initiative for children with cancer and their caregivers in India, providing educational, spiritual, and creative support to children while they undergo treatment for cancer and other life-limiting conditions, increasing their happiness quotient through learning and creative activity." This helps increase the children’s self-esteem and confidence, allowing them to face the challenges of their medical condition with hope and dignity, improving the quality of life of their families, and empowering them to return to the mainstream without fear or apprehension. Most importantly, we help them return to school in the right grade after their time in the hospital. Our mission is driven by the need for non-medical support and schooling in hospital environments. It is specially designed for children aged between 4 and 16 with cancer or certain non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and life-limiting conditions. At Samiksha, we wish to make the life of the children and their caregivers a fulfilling experience. Our team consists of creative professionals, local teachers, skilled volunteers and a strong committed core team with leadership and focus. Our motto is: “The pursuit of knowledge is key to their pursuit of happiness.”

This project aims at providing financial help to patients in India, suffering from Cancer, Impact Guru identifies these patients who need financial support for their Hospital Expenses, and supports them through crowdfunding and raising grants. Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process breaks down, and abnormal or damaged cells grow and multiply when they shouldn’t. The estimated number of incident cases of cancer in India for the year 2022 was found to be 14,61,427 (crude rate:100.4 per 100,000). In India, one in nine people is likely to develop cancer in his/her lifetime. Lung and breast cancers were the leading sites of cancer in males and females, respectively. Among the childhood (0-14 yr) cancers, lymphoid leukemia (boys: 29.2% and girls: 24.2%) was the leading site. The incidence of cancer cases is estimated to increase by 12.8 percent in 2025 as compared to 2020. Globally, cancer is the leading cause of death, accounting for 10 million, or one in six, deaths in 2020, according to WHO. In India, too, cancer is the leading cause of death, with 7.84 lakh deaths recorded in 2018, and 13.92 lakh cases reported in 2020. As the cost break-up shows, cancer is an expensive illness to manage. Besides, screening for early detection, diagnostics, and treatment, it involves posttreatment care and rehabilitation. Doctor’s Consultation Fee: General Physician: INR 500 to 1000 | USD $ 7 to $ 14 Oncologist: INR 800 to 3000 | USD $ 10 to $ 37 Diagnostic Tests: Screening: This involves conducting tests regularly to look for cancer before any signs or symptoms appear. These include a wide range of different body parts, such as mammography (breast), Pap test (cervical), colonoscopy (colorectal), dermoscopy (skin), and PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test (prostate), among others. Mammography: INR 1000 to 4000 |USD $ 12 to $ 49 Pap Test: INR 500 to 2500 | USD $ 7 to $ 31 Colonoscopy: INR 500 to 2500 |USD $ 7 to $ 31 PSA Test: INR 500 to 1000 |USD $ 7 to $ 12 Biopsy: If screening has not already revealed cancer, a biopsy is conducted, which essentially involves taking a tissue sample to test it for the presence of cancerous cells. The cost depends on the type of cancer and the complexity of the biopsy conducted. INR 2000 to 4000 | USD $ 24 to $ 49 INR 8000 to 10000 |USD $ 98 to $ 122 Imaging: for further investigations Ultrasound: INR 500 |USD $ 7 CT Scan: INR 1,000 to 15,000 |USD $ 12 to $ 182 (depending on the body part) PET CT Scan: INR 5,000 to 25,000 |USD $ 61 to $ 305 MRI: INR 5,000 to 12,000 |USD $ 61 to $ 146 Fitness/blood test: To find out about the fitness and strength of the body, blood tests are conducted. INR 1,000 to 3,000 | USD $ 12 to $ 37 On Average one individual expense per month comes to around: INR 73,700 | USD $ 900, for one patient (please include this is recurring + one-time expenses) So Impact Guru is helping them raise funds and be a support hand for them.

The situation is urgent, with many children and women in Gaza bearing the scars of gunshot or bombing injuries, while others were born with defects necessitating amputations. To ensure they receive the vital care needed to regain mobility, the Global Fund for Humanity established a community-based treatment program with our local partners . This often involves sending children abroad for care that is not locally available. We also work in collaboration with the Hamid Rehabilitation Hospital in Gaza City to provide local treatment.

Over 70 years ago, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) was founded by a family that lost its son to leukemia—a disease that was considered fatal at the time. Since its founding, LLS has evolved into the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to fighting blood cancers, pioneering many of today’s most innovative cancer treatments and therapies. Despite our tremendous progress, one simple fact remains: nearly 50,000 individuals lose their battle against cancer every year in the U.S. alone, and, unfortunately, some of those individuals are children. I am participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Visionaries of the Year (VOY) program. VOY is a ten-week philanthropic competition for leaders in New Jersey seeking to make an impact in the fight against cancer. I decided to enter the competition because I’ve personally saw people who lost their life to cancer. As health care costs in the country rise, I felt that partnering with LLS and participating in this campaign will allow me to help provide support to families impacted by cancer.

There are many misconceptions and myths around Cinco de Mayo and its significance in Mexican Culture and History. In the US, it has historically been seen as a day of celebration commonly mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day. But south of the border, the holiday merits very little as the actual 1862 event is a reminder of a tough outgunned invasion of Puebla by the French army. While it was a battle won it was a war that was lost. In an effort to help shed light about this date we will be using this day not to celebrate but instead to raise awareness and funding about Mexican Heritage and help bring equity and change to those that identify as such and are in need of Legal and Educational resources.
