No disease comes striking with a warning.
And when it effects the life of young kids who have not even experienced life
it is even more devastating. It makes me sad and gives me goose bumps when I
think of what must be going through with the child.
Cancer – a diagnosis that strikes despair not only
in the patient but the entire family. When a child is the one who has to cope
with the disease, it seems so unfair and one cannot even begin to imagine what
the parents, especially the mother, are going through. Add to that the burden
of poverty which makes the situation even more unbearable.
What these children need besides treatment is also
adequate nutrition to help boost their immunity and combat the illness better.
JAMM’s (Journey About Mast Moms) empathizes with
what these families are facing; as mothers we can best understand the pain of
another mother who is coping not only with a child battling cancer but also the
sense of helplessness that pervades due to the lack finances.
This is why #jammsnetwork has collaborated with
@Accesslife (www.accesslife.org) to ensure that these children get their
fighting chance and the necessary food nutrition through the initiative 1100 #mealmate. JAMM’s network will have been in existence for 1100 days and this
initiative is a marker in its history of giving back to society. After all,
mothers know about giving of oneself and bringing joy to others.
Let’s all pledge to
contribute in this noble initiative and be a #Mealmate of these innocent children.
We will not only be helping in fulfilling their nutritional needs but also
bring a smile on their angelic face.

About
Accesslife
Access Life Assistance Foundation provides a loving and
temporary home for the parent or care taker and the child undergoing the
treatment for cancer. Our mission is to offer a home-like environment for these
families and we also try to improve the quality of life of these children by
providing practical support services, educational resources and recreational
programs.
We understand the financial pressure cancer puts on some
families so we provide them dignified accommodation at no cost while their
child receives the treatment. In a country where care for the needy has long
been accepted as dismal, Access Life is working to not only fill in a large
unmet need but also to fundamentally change this mind-set.
