Dr. David Gandell Memorial Clinic Fund

In 2019 and 2020 Dr. David Gandell came to India to provide medical care for the women and children of the Red Light District in Kolkata. These trips were compelling for David and he shared how life changing and impactful these trips were. In David’s own words:

“Having gone to West Bengal, India and seen first-hand women and girls trapped in sexual slavery was an emotionally challenging experience.  I cannot unsee what I have witnessed, and I cannot hide from my moral responsibility to help where I can.  The magnitude of the evil being done to so many women and children seems overwhelming, yet each of the victims that have been saved by Puresa Humanitarian and given an opportunity for a full, safe and autonomous life is a gift. A beacon of light in the darkness. As a life-long advocate for women, as a husband and as a father of 4 wonderful daughters (plus an amazing son), I am grateful to work with Giselle Meza and her team by being a part of this vital mission.”

David made a vow to do whatever was needed in order to continue to care for the women and children in the Red Light.

 Before David, women and children who were trafficked had not received any medical care in their lives.

When David and the medical team left Kolkata in 2020, we could not have dreamt what would happen in that little building where he and the Puresa Team treated the ladies.

Covid hit hard all over the world, and we were paralyzed in terms of getting back to India.

The women started to come back every day to that building for respite and tea with renewed hope and support.

Soon after, our team and teachers began establishing self-sustainability programs in order to provide these survivors with opportunity for a new life.

The hell that was life for the ladies while in the Red Light district, has now turned into their ticket to freedom.

Sadly, our dear David never made it back to see the progress that had taken place within these crumbling walls.

He passed away in March of 2021.

The building that David worked in will now be dedicated in his honor, but

this building is crumbling and in dire need of renovation.

Please help us to realize this dream in David’s Memory so that Puresa Humanitarian can continue rescuing and saving lives.
