Remembering Loved Ones

Sponsor a meal in memory of a loved one.

We at Holding Hands Foundation, have started a program dedicating one day in a year in memory of our loved ones.

In the past few years, families asked us and wanted us to create a meal program in honor of their loved ones. There are many families who want to do something, but they don’t know how to go about it. That is why Holding Hands Foundation, a 501c non-profit organization, came up with the program, "Remembering Loved One’s Day,". This is a day when we honor the memory of your loved one with you by sponsoring a meal donated in the community.

Holding Hands Foundation supports patients and families throughout their treatment journey, especially cancer treatment. We have designed this program with the idea "You Trust Us, We Do the Rest."

We are feeding 45-50 families every month.

We help families by taking care of their food, finding affordable places to stay during treatment, finding next meal when they are on the road, and all other logistics when they are in middle of taking care of loved ones and need to be focused on their treatment.

All cultures have an equivalent of "all soul's day," where the people remember their loved ones. In Hinduism, commemorating the death anniversary is a way to respect departed souls. Hindu scriptures remind us to feed people in honor of our ancestors or loved ones on their death or birth anniversaries.

So, if you are thinking of feeding or supporting families in honor and memory of your loved ones, you can sponsor the Remembering Our Loved One's meal program. You send us a monetary contribution in any value you like and we will do the rest.

Pick a day of your choosing and the number of families you would like to feed. We will take care of the rest.

We are in this together. We don’t want you to be alone. We believe in NEHA-Never Endure Hurt Alone.

Thanks again for your generosity and support.

Thanks Kaul and Shaykher family

We, the Kaul and Shaykher family, remember Pt. Soom Nath Kaul dearly called Bobuji, who inspired us not only through his physical height but by his tall character and values. He has been a symbol of love, strength, and Seva (or service) for the entire family, as he was a proud member of the Sathya Sai Baba Seva Dal. Today we made a humble attempt to celebrate his spirit with families and children who need not worry about dinner after a stressful day of treatment. Thanks to the Holding Hands Foundation for helping us fulfill Bobuji's wish to help those who need it under the "Remembering loved Ones" program.

Although he left us 23 years ago, his values and memory live on in each of us. We miss him dearly, and we hope to make him proud.

Remembering Shri Man Mohan Zadoo, our dear Baitoth, who left us on this day 36 years ago, leaving a deep void in our hearts never to be filled again. Every day we remember his zest for life, his love for poetry, his commitment to academic excellence, and his passion for the written word. We remember his black fountain pen, his constant companion and through which his poetry flowed like water. Years come and years go, and we can only strive to achieve the high standards of academic and personal excellence he left for us. In his short life, he touched us in myriad roles - loving son, protective brother, doting father, devoted husband, and a committed mathematics teacher. We miss him every day, and we seek refuge in the concept of the ephemeral nature of our lives through these lines of his favorite song that he often hummed to himself-

Yeh zindagi ke mele, duniya main kam na honge, afsos hum na honge.

With loving memories

Remembering NEHA on her birthday

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Sylvester Cancer Center and the Ronald McDonald's Charity House for allowing us to offer our services to patients and their caregivers on the special occasion of our beloved daughter Neha's birthday. The experience of providing this service was incredibly fulfilling, as we witnessed the radiant smiles on the faces of the patients and felt the warmth of their appreciative gestures.

As part of the Holding Hands Foundation's "Remembering Loved Ones Program," we had the honor of serving dinner and distributing care bags filled with thoughtful items. These included personalized port pillows, shawls, mufflers, and hand-knitted woolen caps, each crafted with love and prayers by Jai Sibu. The care bags also contained some treasured goodies that held a special place in Neha's heart.

. Established in memory of Neha Ganju Tanna the foundation is dedicated to creating a positive impact and providing comfort to those in need. This service not only pays homage to Neha's legacy but also underscores our unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals navigating challenging circumstances.
