Chai for Cancer

We are deeply grateful to our dedicated supporters who continue to stand by us in this journey In case you wish to support the education cost of a pediatric cancer patient / dependent of a patient write to us at friendsofmax@gmail.com @vijivenkatesh @themaxfndn @Friends_Of_Max

one of over 100 children receiving financial assistance through the program to cover their education costs. Her story is a powerful testament that with the right support, cancer does not have to stand in the way of hopes and dreams.

Another cherished Facebook Memory from the past. On 1 April 2020, we featured young Sudipa as the ‘Face of Dignity’. Six years later, she continues to shine. With the support of Friends of Max’s Project Shiksha, Sudipa is now graduating with a degree in Sanskrit.

Today he stands as a celebrated cancer survivor who has shown immense courage, resilience, and hope in overcoming cancer. He continues to inspire many. @vijivenkatesh @themaxfndn @PKandalgaokar @BeenaNarayanan @Friends_Of_Max @VCFOUNDATIONSM

It is humbling to remember that 24 years ago, Kailash as a young boy and the son of a farmer from the interiors of Maharashtra was diagnosed with CML. He travelled with his father to hospitals in different towns looking for treatment.

Kailash Ingale continues to be our Hero and Patient Advocate. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=29… From a past memory when on 31 March 2020 Kailash was celebrated as the “Face of Dignity” for the many CML and GIST patients, navigating their lives with cancer

so there’s hope still that our Cup of Hope will be full to the brim before Season 12 ends … The Season of Hope is eternal. @vijivenkatesh @themaxfndn

Friends of Max and Chai for Cancer cannot thank supporters enough for all the contributions that continue to pour in for the cause. We are still a little short of our target for this season but we have two more months in which to get there

Coming together were Anu’s friends, family & well wishers all from different walks of life whose collective efforts helped raise 750 cups of chai to support patients in need. On #NGOday, which we celebrated yesterday, and today as we celebrate #Rarediseaseday , we say Thank you!

At Chai for Cancer, we believe that every meaningful change is the result of a collective effort. This is what we also witnessed firsthand at the Chai for Cancer Adda hosted by Anu Singh on 22 Feb 2026 in Versova, Mumbai.
