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 JAMM’s network 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
Meal Mate. 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.

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.
