“Empowering Healing and Hope: Your Donation Fuels Our Fight Against Cancer.”
At Suwapath Weva—Meals With Metta, we provide nourishing meals to cancer patients and their families who travel from afar, often enduring great hardship.
Our mission is to build a community fueled by the joy of true, selfless giving, rooted in wholesome qualities such as:
- Metta (loving-kindness) : Wishing for the well-being of others
- Karuna (compassion) : Feeling and alleviating the suffering of others
- Mudita (altruistic joy) : Rejoicing in the development of others
- Upekkha (equanimity): Remaining balanced and unshaken in life’s challenges
By developing these qualities, we support cancer patients and their families. That’s not all though! We also inturn foster a cycle of kindness that will uplift and transform our lives and the lives of the community involved in this meritorious act too!

The drive also supports patients’ families, who may be facing financial and emotional strains during their loved ones’ treatment.
