Ketto Brings Stories of Courage and Impact to Light This World Cancer Day
This World Cancer Day, Ketto proudly presents “Hope. Survival. Impact.”—a video campaign celebrating the remarkable journeys of cancer survivors who have triumphed over adversity with the support of our compassionate community. These stories exemplify the profound impact of collective generosity, underscoring the power of crowdfunding in transforming lives.
In India, cancer remains a significant health challenge, with a large number of new cases diagnosed each year. Among these, blood cancers account for a substantial proportion. Advancements in medical treatments have improved survival rates. However, the financial burden of cancer treatment is considerable, often making life-saving care inaccessible for many families.
Because of Ketto, many patients and their families have been able to raise essential funds for their medical treatment. Our platform has witnessed an outpouring of support, with countless individuals contributing to campaigns that fund critical cancer treatments and chemotherapy.
Inspiring Stories of Resilience
Our campaign features heartfelt testimonials from survivors and their families, highlighting the tangible difference that community support can make:
- Athwik’s Triumph Over Cancer: Diagnosed with B-lymphoblastic leukemia at just three years old, Athwik’s family turned to Ketto to fund his treatment. Through the generosity of donors, they raised ₹20 lakh, enabling timely medical intervention. Today, Athwik is cancer-free, embodying resilience and the power of collective goodwill.
- Shahista’s Second Chance After Cancer: After losing her father to cancer, Shahista faced her own battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. When the disease recurred aggressively, a costly bone marrow transplant was her only hope. Her family member initiated a fundraiser on Ketto, and the community rallied to raise ₹30 lakh. Now, Shahista is in good health, a testament to unwavering determination and communal support.
- Sreeraj’s New Beginning After Cancer: Three-year-old Sreeraj’s joyful life was disrupted by a severe form of blood cancer.

Today, Sreeraj is thriving, a symbol of hope and the impact of shared humanity.
