Myself Bulbul Ratan Ray the founder of "Bulbul Ray Foundation". 17 years ago, I shifted from Kolkata to Mumbai after my marriage. I always wanted to help cancer patients because i lost my father because of cancer when I was much younger.

My husband and I sell winter blankets and sweaters on the footpath at Parel TT and one day when I was at my shop, I saw a person waiting besides me, narrated the problems that some patients face in communicating medical issue with doctor because of a language barrier. I realised that the patients from north east were suffering a lot because of their language difficulty. I realised that I had been given an opportunity to serve these patients and help them believe that service to Man is service to God.

I started helping patients since 2006 and I thought by helping these patients I am helping my father, That time I didn't knew about the treatments and which is the reason I lost my father and today when I am helping them I think that I am helping my father, this makes me happy. I am continuing challenging myself to see happy face of a cancer patients an every single day with moral obligation to find more happy face every day .

I have registered an NGO to serve more cancer patients under "Bulbul Ray Foundation" on 29 may 2019 . I had started distributing foods to cancer patients during covid lockdown i.e from 2 April 2022 with the help of Bengal club shivaji park and akshardhara foundation at many places where the patients are staying. I am still distributing foods to cancer patients till date near tata memorial hospital then I opened a small cancer home for cancer patients at Sion in 2021 .

I try my best to make all my cancer patients happy by celebrating different frestivals with them and birthdays etc which makes them even more happy. I will always try my best to continue this work and I hope you will also join us.
