This Ramadan support Cuddles Foundation

16-year-old Preeti’s battle with B-Cell-ALL has been filled with hardships, but the support of her uncle, aunt, and Cuddles Foundation has given her the strength to fight. Despite financial struggles, her uncle, a daily wage painter, prioritized her treatment, ensuring she received proper nutrition and care.

With the guidance of her nutritionist and family’s encouragement, Preeti’s health has improved significantly. She expresses deep gratitude for the support, sharing how proper nutrition has given her more strength and clarity. Inspired by those who helped her, she dreams of becoming a policewoman to give back to society.

Her uncle’s message to other families: “Cancer is treatable and curable with patience and trust in the process.”

From Preeti’s family and Cuddles Foundation, thank you for being part of the network of angels helping children fight cancer every day.

Why is nutrition the need of the hour?

Childhood cancer is curable when a child is nourished well enough to cope with the side effects of cancer therapy. But in India, up to 58% of children with cancer are found to be severely malnourished at diagnosis, making survival a problem. When Cuddles reaches out to these children, they work to ensure that no child fights cancer on an empty stomach.
