Allah Almighty will say on the Day of Resurrection: “O son of Adam, I asked you for food but you did not feed Me. He will say: My Lord, how can I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? Allah will say: Did you not know that My servant asked you for food but you did not feed him, and had you fed him you would have found Me with him?” (Muslim)
Every day, cancer patients across Pakistan arrive at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital weak, weary, and in desperate need of nourishment. Many have travelled long distances with little more than the hope of healing. Your support can provide them with the nourishment they need not just to survive treatment, but to fight cancer with strength and dignity.
A warm meal may seem simple, but for a cancer patient, it can be transformative. Malnutrition is common among those who seek free treatment at our hospitals. Before they can even begin chemotherapy or radiotherapy, they must be physically strong enough to withstand the side effects. Proper nutrition is critical to recovery and overall treatment success.
With just £5, you can provide two meals a day to a patient. A donation of £150 can support one patient’s nutrition for an entire month. This small act of compassion brings comfort, healing, and lasting reward.
£5 can feed a patient for a day £150 CAN FEED A PATIENT FOR 30 DAYS
This year, as Shaukat Khanum Hospitals celebrate 30 years of service, our founder is unable to make an appeal to mark this significant milestone. In his absence, we hope you will continue to feed our patients, showing that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.
WHY IT MATTERS
Rashidah Javid, Clinical Nutritionist at Shaukat Khanum Hospitals, explains the dietary challenges of cancer patients and the role food donations play in their treatment and recovery.
Cancer patients need strength because often they aren’t just fighting cancer, they’re also fighting the side effects of chemotherapy and other treatments. Getting the right food and supplements is essential for preventing and managing additional problems like:
- Anaemia
- Weakened immunity and infections
- Delayed recovery
- Fatigue and physical weakness
- Digestive complications
Patients may need specialised diets or even intravenous feeding, tailored to the specific challenges of their condition.
TRUST & IMPACT
Every patient responds differently to treatment, requiring a customised meal plan to meet their individual needs. Clinical specialists like Rashidah create tailored diets ensuring each patient receives the right nutrients in the right way at the right time.
Giving food to a cancer patient isn’t just about sustaining someone for a day – it’s about supporting their healing process and chance of recovery. A Sadaqah donation of £50 will feed a patient for 10 days. A donation of £150 will feed them for the entire month.

ONGOING SUPPORT, LASTING REWARD
The act of feeding a cancer patient is an act of Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity). It’s a gift that nourishes not just the body, but the soul, yours and theirs. Every meal you provide supports healing, offers hope, and brings continuous reward.
Whether you give in memory of a loved one, to mark a special occasion, or simply because you want to help, your support makes a difference every single day of the year.
