MUMBAI: Fueladream – a crowdfunding platform in Bangalore which came up with the concept for a new initiative – an initiative to get people of India to show their compassion for a good cause. Fueladream has teamed up with Bahubali –The Conclusion.
Team Bahubali has set new trends in the Indian film making business and is very excited to take part in this initiative. It’s an initiative which leverages the power of technology and crowdfunding to make a difference to the lives of others. This is a unique innovation that will be promoted through social media by all the 3 partners –Make-A-Wish India, Fueladream and Bahubali. The production team, cast and crew of Bahubali have taken a massive interest in the work that Make-A-Wish India strives to do. They have decided to be a part of this great initiative by an NGO & get behind them by spreading awareness for the work they do and raise funds in the process.
Bahubali 2 –The Conclusion producer Shobu Yarlagadda says “We want our fans to make a difference to the lives of these kids by funding this online at Fueladream.com."
This collaboration also makes it easier for the children to have their innermost wish fulfilled, which can be one of the following– to have something get a bicycle /Doll house / mobile phone or even a laptop, go to the sets of a movie like Bahubali, 'meet the stars' of the film or BE a film director for a day.
Fueladream founder and CEO Ranganath Thota says, “We are touched by the genuine interest that the team at Bahubali has taken in promoting this cause & are thrilled to be pioneering a crowdfunding initiative that involves a movie brand of the stature of Bahubali."
These wishes are more than just a nice thing. They impact everyone involved. It lifts the children’s spirits, makes them more receptive to the painful and gruesome medical treatments that they have to go throughgiving them an added incentive to fight the disease ailing them. It impacts the doctors, volunteers and donors as well. It makes them realise that a small gesture can go a long way. It gives their parents a chance to be optimistic.
Make-A-Wish India CEO Deepak S Bhatia says “We are thrilled that the team at Bahubali is partnering with us to restore hope, strength and joy for children diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. With support from Fueladream, we are confident that all Indians will come forth to support our cause in a big way to ensure that their contributions will enable us grant almost 10,000 wishes per annum.”
