Understanding the needs of cancer patients, a shelter home was set up in Nerul, Navi Mumbai. This home offers accommodation, food, and support to around 600 patients annually who come to Mumbai for treatment.

It is seen that many of the cancer patients who come to Mumbai from outstation are from a poor background. As a result, these patients and/ or the relatives accompanying them cannot afford a decent place to stay in Mumbai during the treatment period, as accommodation in Mumbai is very expensive. A large number of such people have no option but to live on roadside. By the grace of God, we could start a shelter home for such people in Navi Mumbai, on the 1st August 2019. We are providing free food, accommodation and transportation to Tata Hospital, to a limited number of patients and their bystander relatives. Rev. Fr. Benjamin Stephen is serving as the manager for this project.
