Ease the suffering of cancer patients with treatment & care

Save orphaned and abandoned children

Disadvantaged students face many obstacles when trying to pursue an education. The expense to go to school combined with their parents expectations for their children to work and earn a living, means many discontinue their education. This leads to poor employment options in the future.In a country like India, where the majority of the population are youths, the overall effect of this problem multiplies. Societies progress and the economies growth rate both deteriorate as so many people are uneducated. 
 We have started an initiative to support bright but underprivileged students post the 10th grade to pursue further studies in literacy; leading to employment. We cover the cost of scholarships, books, and all skill training.Each student is carefully selected based upon academic performance and economic assessments. Our volunteers visit student’s homes to get a better understanding of their financial situation. As we have such a big network of volunteers covering a vast area, we can ensure that we reach as many students as possible. 
 Through our efforts and the support of others like you, more than 5000 students have received employment through Vidya Poshak and over 4000 students have reached the next level of literacy. Also, 60 free of cost rural book banks have been opened where students can borrow books and educational material.

Childhood cancer is mostly curable across the world. But in India, with up to 40% of children with cancer being malnourished at diagnosis, survival is a huge problem. We're on a mission to change that through our FoodHeals program. We give children undergoing cancer therapy at over 40 government and charity hospitals access to trained clinical paediatric nutritionists, expert dietary counsels, supplements, in-meals, hot meals, monthly ration baskets and caregiver support. Good food helps the medicine work!Besides the love and affection of our patients, their families, and our supporters, we’ve won some awards along the way too. This includes the National Award for Child Welfare in 2015-16 from the Hon’ble President of India and the Special Jury Mention at the Outlook Poshan Awards in 2019.

Aditya's (name changed) journey with Ewing's Sarcoma, a formidable adversary, highlights the critical role of nutritional support in the battle against cancer. At just 15, Aditya faced an uphill battle, exacerbated by his severely underweight condition at diagnosis. The intervention of the Cuddles Foundation, particularly through the efforts of his nutritionist Moumita, has been transformative. Moumita's dedication went beyond mere dietary planning; it involved building trust and understanding with Aditya's family, underscoring the importance of nutrition in cancer treatment. This comprehensive support system, made possible by donations, has significantly improved Aditya's health, allowing him to gain the necessary strength and weight to continue his fight against cancer. Aditya's story is not just about medical treatment; it's about the hope and determination to live a life beyond the illness. His dream of experiencing the simple joy of being by the sea once more is a poignant reminder of the profound impact that nutritional and emotional support can have on a young life. Your contributions to the Cuddles Foundation have been instrumental in this journey, offering not just nutritional support but also a beacon of hope for Aditya and many others like him. With each donation, the Foundation moves closer to its goal of extending life-saving nutrition to every child battling cancer, enabling them to fight the disease with strength and resilience. Let's continue to support this noble cause. Every contribution brings us one step closer to turning the dreams of children like Aditya into reality, giving them the strength to fight cancer and embrace the future with hope and health.Donate now to change the world for the better.

“My 4-year-old son was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia. We brought him to Mumbai 6 months back when he was fighting for life. But within a couple of months, Vidhan’s condition improved drastically. Apart from the chemotherapy, one thing that has had a significant impact on his health is the nutrition support provided by Cuddles Foundation,” says Meenakshi Motiwala, who hails from Dhule, Maharashtra. Meenakshi and her husband had no means of supporting Vidhan with special nutrition, but thanks to the NGO, their son is in better shape.Cuddles Foundation is a nonprofit that helps hundreds of children fight cancer each year, but there are thousands more still battling cancer and in need of help. Help the NGO extend its reach and save many more lives. Donate now.Donate easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India)Non-profit organisation Cuddles Foundation has been on a mission to give underprivileged children having cancer a fighting chance against the disease with complete nutritional support. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/085d2bcf-d193-40b6-84e7-d968184373db.webp" />Giving kids battling cancer a fighting chanceDoctors often say that proper nutrition is the first line of treatment for children fighting cancer. However, because of poor financial background, many parents can’t give their kids life-saving nutrition and often witness the condition deteriorate before their eyes. “We have observed that there is a marked improvement or maintenance in the health and nutritional status of more than 80% of children with cancer by giving them proper meals. Nutritional support can not only give a child the strength needed to go through chemotherapy, but also help in reducing the side effects of cancer treatment significantly. Sadly, the life-saving nutrition needed to help children defeat cancer is well beyond the reach for many parents due to their financial condition,” says Purnota Dutta Bahl, founder of the nonprofit. Purnota embarked upon the mission to save the lives of children with cancer over a decade back after a chance visit to the Tata Memorial Hospital. “I saw a baby girl who back then, was about the same age as my daughter. The girl was fighting cancer and was visibly malnourished. I was informed by the nurse that children get treatment for cancer at the hospital free of cost, but their condition keeps deteriorating as their parents can’t afford the required nutrition. It was on that day that I decided to at least give these children a fighting chance against cancer,” explains the founder of the nonprofit organisation. <img src="https://cfstatic.give.do/9258f817-9e95-43df-b71b-169cc3cb5aa8.webp" />Donate to heal thousands more“We have been able to take our programme to over 50 hospitals, spread across 17 states. But still there are thousands of children we are yet to reach. The cost of providing nutritional support to a child and their family suffering from cancer is about ₹80,000 per year (or ₹7,000 a month). Cancer is absolutely curable. A little love and support from you can help children suffering from cancer complete their treatment and go on to live functional and productive lives in the future,” says Purnota.Donate to this fundraiser by give.do, India’s largest fundraising platform, to support Cuddles Foundation in their mission to give life-saving nutrition to children suffering from cancer and give them the strength to fight cancer.
