PULKIT GANDHI'S CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE RATION BASKETS TO MALNOURISHED YOUNG CANCER PATIENTS.
Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
CAMPAIGN TEAM
Cancer in children is highly curable if diagnosed early and treated appropriately. A large portion of these children come from economically stressed homes. They face a lot of challenges when it comes to treatment, accommodation, food, etc. Hospitals in India see thousands of children visiting them for cancer treatment. Majority of these children are from low-income homes.
This campaign of mine is being done in partnership with the NGO -Cuddles Foundation and aims to fight hunger and malnutrition in children from low-income homes by giving them a MONTHLY RATION BASKET. This improves their chance of survival by 70% and ultimately does save lives. The baskets are given to children at cancer hospitals across India.
The monthly ration basket feeds a family of four. Each basket contains 33-34 items, including cereals, pulses, millets, nuts and oilseeds, ghee, oil, spices, milk, condiments, and essential personal hygiene products like soaps etc.
Be the reason a child wins their battle.
I am Pulkit Gandhi of 15 years of age and a Grade 11 student at Jayshree Periwal International School, Jaipur.
Through the means of this campaign, we aim to support underprivileged children battling cancer, and their families, with a monthly ration basket. The basket includes essential food items and necessary supplements. These children are often malnourished due to their low-income background. This is a serious concern as an undernourished child’s health suffers even more when receiving intense medical treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. This not only increases the chances of death, but is also a contributor to the abandonment of these kids.
By providing ration baskets, we can support a crucial part of their recovery journey: food and nutrition. Though there are many organizations that sponsor the treatments of financially-weak parents, not many focus on the key aspect of nutrition. With bills piling up, parents are unable to properly feed their children. These baskets would help lift that burden.
Your contribution, no matter the amount, would help fill a plate and fuel a child’s life. Together, we can ensure that no child fights cancer hungry.
A ration basket provides adequate nutrition to a family of four for a month at a cost of INR 4500.
Cuddles Foundation brings holistic food and nutrition to underprivileged children fighting cancer. They work through partnerships with government and charitable hospitals that treat underprivileged children for cancer. Their nutritionists, trained specifically for pediatric cancer nutrition, are placed in government hospitals and monitor the child’s progress, create diet plans and nutritional charts, counsel their parents, and educate them in home-based nutrition. They provide children undergoing treatment with food, hot meals, nutritional supplements, and ration baskets as per their requirements so that the kids have the strength to fight their cancer. To date, they have partnered with 35 hospitals in 20 cities. In 2017, with the help of individual donors, volunteers, and the Cuddles Advisory Board, they were able to develop an app that would standardize the delivery of nutritional support across all the hospitals where they work. The Cuddles FoodHeals app is the first-of-its-kind platform that helps automate mathematical functions for a nutritionist - like calculating the grade of malnourishment, BMI, calorie deficiency, etc. The app also aids her in counseling, diet planning, and mapping the progress of the child through the course of the treatment.
