My name is KUNALI KHARBANDA . I am 15 years old and a Grade 11 student at Mount Olympus School, Gurgaon, Sector 47. I am a medical student and I firmly believe in helping others and I will be glad to participate in this campaign if it means I am able to change someone's life for the better
.
I have undertaken this campaign to support children who have cancer and their families with a monthly ration basket, and also because the cause of this campaign is one that is not talked about enough and is often dismissed or overlooked, even though it is one of the most prevalent problems. I wish to change this by emphasizing on this issue persuading others to really think about how a small donation can alter someone's life.
I have undertaken this campaign because this is a critical element in the treatment of these children who go through the difficult journey of fighting cancer. Although there are several people and organizations that sponsor the treatment of financially stressed patients, there are very few that help out with an equally important issue - "THEIR FOOD AND NUTRITION".

Children from low-income homes are often malnourished. Malnourished patients respond poorly to medical interventions such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or surgery, with increased episodes of toxicity, interruptions in hospital admissions, and inability to take timely chemotherapy in full doses, leading to a poor response to treatment. Overall, malnutrition increases the rate of abandonment of therapy and doubles the risk of death due to cancer.

The cost to impact a child is only INR 4500.
