Trust in Alappuzha launches ‘cake challenge’ to fund a ₹30-lakh ICU ambulance They are selling cakes this Christmas season to make some quick bucks not to make merry but to buy an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ambulance for the public.
Team Prahladaa, under the aegis of Thuravoor-based Prahladaa Social Service Trust, which is behind the initiative is holding the ‘cake challenge’ by setting up a temporary cake sales counter by the side of National Highway-66 opposite the Thuravoor taluk hospital.
“A lot of ambulances are available in the area but none has critical care facilities. There have been instances where people’s lives could have been saved if an ICU ambulance was available. Hence we decided to buy such an ambulance. We are selling cakes to raise funds for the purpose,” says Bharath Jagadeesh, secretary, Prahladaa Social Service Trust.
