The Kanakam Foundation is committed to making a difference in the lives of those who need it most, and that includes the often-overlooked caregivers of cancer patients. In a heartfelt initiative, we donated mid-day meals to the dedicated caregivers and family members attending to their loved ones at AIMS Hospital, Dharamshila Hospital, and Safdarjung Hospital.
Caring for the Caregivers
Cancer care doesn't just affect patients—it profoundly impacts the lives of their caregivers. Many of these bystanders, who spend days, weeks, or even months outside hospital premises, often face severe financial and emotional challenges. They provide crucial support to their loved ones but frequently lack the resources to take care of themselves. At AIMS, Dharamshila, and Safdarjung Hospitals, hundreds of caregivers endure long waiting hours, often with little or no access to affordable meals. With many sleeping outside the hospitals in makeshift accommodations, their own needs are frequently neglected as they focus on their family members battling cancer.
Kanakam Foundation's Mid-Day Meal Initiative
To ease their burden, the Kanakam Foundation launched an initiative to provide free mid-day meals to these bystanders. Our goal is simple: to offer nourishment and comfort to those who sacrifice so much for the care of their loved ones.
By eliminating the financial burden, we aim to help these bright, motivated women reach their full potential and make a lasting impact in the fight against cancer.
A Small Act with a Big Impact
This initiative not only addresses a basic need but also sends a powerful message: We see you, we support you. The care givers of cancer patients are silent heroes, and by providing them with nutritious meals, we hope to offer some respite during their challenging journey.
