When 43 year old Angrez Singh came to UNITED SIKHS because UK hospitals refused to treat his double kidney failure, we did not turn him away because as an over-stayer he did not have recourse to public funds. Instead, we engaged a robust probono health rights lawyer who challenged the hospital and not only ensured the hospital treated him but also ensuredsocial services gave him a daily stipend and travel costs for his treatment.
UNITED SIKHS then helped Angrez Singh to obtain assistance from a refugee charity, funded by the government, who paid for his air ticket to Panjab and 1000 pounds towards his treatment in Panjab. Today, through funds donatedby donors like you, we are able to fund Angrez Singh's continuing treatment in Panjab, whilst waiting for his kidney transplant.

"I would like to thank UNITED SIKHS for their heroic humanitarian efforts trying to help the residents of the city of Newark who have been dramatically impacted by Hurricane Sandy. A Thousand meals a day is really going a long way to help the suffering of those people in really traumatic times. CHEERS to UNITED SIKHS and wish you all the best." ~ New Jersey Assemblyman Albert Coutinho, USA
"My son's school had an issue in relation to him wearing his Kirpan at school. UNITED SIKHS arranged a meeting with the school and successfully resolved the issue in a professional manner. They then came back to the school to hold a Sikhi education session for the teachers and have even been invited back for further sessions. Thank you UNITED SIKHS!" ~ Ranjit Singh, WA, Australia

"If it were not for UNITED SIKHS' timely help, my situation could have become worse. They came to my rescue for two incidents, provided all legal assistance and ensured that my issues were taken care of. I can't thank them enough.
