# Cuddles Foundation - LLMs.txt

> Cuddles Foundation is an Indian non-profit organization that supports underprivileged children undergoing cancer treatment by providing clinical nutrition support. The foundation works with hospitals across India to ensure children receive the nutrition required to tolerate treatment, recover better, and improve survival outcomes.

## Organization Overview
Cuddles Foundation focuses on improving pediatric cancer treatment outcomes through nutrition. Many children undergoing cancer treatment face severe malnutrition, which can delay treatment and reduce survival chances. By integrating nutrition support into cancer care, the foundation helps children tolerate chemotherapy and continue treatment effectively.

The organization partners with hospitals, nutritionists, donors, and corporate partners to deliver sustained nutritional care to children with cancer throughout their treatment journey.

## What Cuddles Foundation Does
Cuddles Foundation provides comprehensive nutrition support programs for children undergoing cancer treatment, including:

- Nutritional screening and assessment
- Personalized diet plans designed by pediatric oncology nutritionists
- Distribution of therapeutic nutrition supplements
- Ration baskets for families facing food insecurity
- Hot meals during hospital visits
- Continuous monitoring of nutritional status
- Nutrition education for caregivers

These services are integrated with hospital treatment programs to ensure children remain strong enough to complete cancer therapy.

## Why Nutrition Matters in Childhood Cancer
Children receiving chemotherapy often experience appetite loss, weight loss, and weakened immunity. Malnutrition can lead to treatment delays and complications.

Providing proper nutrition helps:

- improve tolerance to chemotherapy
- strengthen immunity
- reduce infection risks
- improve recovery and treatment adherence
- enhance overall quality of life during cancer treatment
