My name is Tanush Tiwari. I am 16 years old and a Grade 11 student at Jamnabai Narsee International School (JNIS), Mumbai.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands , one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

I have undertaken this campaign to support children who have cancer and their families with a monthly ration basket.

Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has made it through life without someone else’s
To give without any reward , has a special quality of its own.
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.
