Childhood cancer treatments have a high rate of success with advancements in medical science. But, medical treatment needs to be supported by proper nourishment along with an infection-free and cheerful environment.

Cancer treatments in many cases last as long as 2 years. Most of these treatments are done as outpatient visits where the patients will have to visit the hospital on a regular basis. This creates a big challenge for many families that come to big cities for low zero-costs treatment. Clean safe accommodations are beyond their means running out of their savings. Living in these un-hygienic environments and not having proper nourishment, these kids start losing their battle against cancer very early in the stage leaving no option for the parents but to abandon either the child or the treatment.

CMF, with the support of Golden Source International Private Limited, has adopted such families at Access Life and is providing much-needed logistical support to these families. Access Life runs centers with a goal to provide the child and parents a clean and hygienic shelter, nutritional support, transportation to the treatment centers, and counseling with no cost to these affected families.
