Shaina NC: Fashion Designer and BJP spokesperson
Salutes: Rekha Sapru
Who is she: Joint Secretary, Cancer Patients Aid Association, who helps families of cancer
victims
For the past 40 years, Rekha Sapru has been doing phenomenal work for cancer patients and their families. She has always worked behind the scenes and not hungered for public recognition. We can be sure that whatever amount we donate, even if it's only Rs 500, will be used properly for the cause.u00a0
I met her for the first time 18 years ago, at a fashion show to help cancer patients. Cancer treatment is very expensive and it often becomes difficult for families of patients to bear the emotional and financial burdens.
Rekha has helped cancer patients, especially women, become financially stable. She has made a genuinely positive impact on society.
