My name is Ambika Bedi. I am 15 years old and a Grade 11 student at The Shriram Millennium School (TSMS), Gurgaon.
I am a state level basketball player from haryana and i have represented the district of gurugram multiple times. I have also learnt kathak for almost 9 years as well as western dance. I am also the founder of Iraaya Foundation a non profit organization (upcoming).
I have undertaken this campaign to support children who have cancer and their families with a monthly ration basket.

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.
