Start A Fundraiser

Meet the children you'll be feeding.

Every fundraiser goes directly to children like these - at government cancer hospitals across India.

Manoj

9 years old | Maharashtra

His family left their farm in Beed and came to Mumbai with almost nothing. He was in severe pain and barely eating. Through in-meals, rations and supplements, he slowly found his strength. His one wish when he gets better? 'I want to go on a Mumbai tour and eat hotel food.'

Manoj

Basavaraj

9 years old | Karnataka

He arrived at the hospital too weak to eat on his own. Tube feeding gave his body the nourishment it couldn't take orally. Week by week, he gained weight, then strength, then hope. Today he's well-nourished and dreaming of becoming an army officer.

Ayush

9 years old | Uttar Pradesh

His father quit his job and the family took a loan to move to Varanasi for treatment. Through supplements, rations and in-meals, Ayush went from moderately malnourished to well-nourished — and is now back in school, studying maths and dreaming of becoming a doctor.

Ayush

Shiv

5 years old | Tamil Nadu

His grandmother had never been to a hospital before. She learned everything — and wouldn't eat when Shiv couldn't eat. With nutrition support through his hardest days, he recovered enough to finish treatment. He now wants to be a race car driver.

Shiv

Sayantika

4 years old | West Bengal

She was eating just 18% of what her body needed. With tube feeding, supplements and a tailored meal plan, she went from severely malnourished to well-nourished. Her mother says: 'I have not lost her because of you.'

Sayantika
Child with cancer in India

58%

of children with cancer in India are malnourished when diagnosed.

When a child with cancer can't eat, they can't complete treatment. When they can't complete treatment, they don't survive. Nutrition is not a nice-to-have. It is medicine. Your fundraiser provides it at hospitals where families can't afford to.
