In 2013, Purnota Dutta Bahl started Cuddles Foundation to provide nutrition to child patients at Tata Memorial Hospital. Her organisation now works in 43 hospitals across India. 

Cuddles Foundation has a model wherein a nutritionist is paid by the foundation but placed at the hospital assesses the grade of malnourishment of every paediatric cancer patient. Each child is given a specific nutrition prescription that may include over-the-counter products as well as food items.

Additionally, Cuddles provides each child a ration basket, adequate for a family of four for a month, in order to account for the financial distress most families face in providing for other family members during one child’s battle with cancer. When they noticed that mothers  frequently ate street food outside TMH, Cuddles began to provide a hot meal for a parent as well.

Donate for the cause, for some more cuddles :)
