Our story
Where it all started
In December 2023, we lost our mother, Rekha, to cholangiocarcinoma after a seven-month battle. What began as a personal loss became Jarurat Care Foundation, founded by Priyanka Joshi to support families facing the same fight.

In their words
“My sister, a Stage IV gallbladder cancer patient, could access treatment and begin chemotherapy thanks to Jarurat Care Foundation's timely support. We are deeply grateful.”
“There were days when treatment felt emotionally harder than physically. The support and encouragement I received through Jarurat Care helped me regain hope and stay positive during recovery.”
“After months of hospital visits and uncertainty, we were mentally exhausted. The conversations, support groups, and kindness we received helped us slowly heal from the emotional trauma.”
