February 16, 2022: Vashi-based salon Time Machine Unisex Salon has raised INR 20,25,000 with the help of generous donations from their clientele through Cancer Donation Drive 2022. The 3-day drive was conducted from February 4 (World Cancer Day) to February 6. The amount received from the salon services availed by clients too was donated to Tata Memorial Hospital and the cheque was handed over to Director of TMH, Dr. C. S. Pramesh.
Shine Janarthanan, Director, Time Machine Beauty Solutions Pvt Ltd stated that this was the second year when they conducted the 3-day drive. “There are lots of clients who donate their hair for cancer patients. Similarly, huge amount transfers are done for cancer patients apart from the collection received through salon services.” She added that the hospital does lot of free treatments for the patients and subsidizes the cost of surgeries, but they find it difficult to provide medicines at subsidized rates. Donations such as ours bring a tremendous relief and help the hospital and as well as the cancer patients.
