Monthly Donations
A small donation every month would make only a little difference to your income but it would make a big difference to an underprivileged cancer patient.

May be you cannot afford to make a big donation all at once but perhaps you could donate $10, €10, £10 or Rs 500 out of your monthly income? This small sacrifice would make a big difference to a cancer patient who cannot even afford pain killers. If we all did this little act of kindness the Hospice would soon be up and running. Why not make an arrangement with your bank to have a small donation sent automatically to your nearest Ganga Prem Hospice branch.

Are you thinking of writing your Will?
If you are, please consider including the Ganga Prem Hospice as a beneficiary. Your gift will help us care for terminally ill cancer patients and their families in the future.

Most people want to be sure that their money and property is distributed in the way that they wish, so it is best to seek the advice of a solicitor and to leave clear legal instructions in the form of a Will. Writing one’s own Will is not usually a good idea because even a small mistake may invalidate the entire Will. In the absence of a Will the Law makes fixed provisions as to the distribution of an estate and this may not correspond to what you might have wished. In many countries a charitable gift in a Will also helps to avoid or reduce inheritance taxes so please consider leaving a gift for Ganga Prem Hospice and consult your lawyer as to how it can be done.
