“I’ve done whatever I could to save my son. Unfortunately, despite everything, Hussain’s treatment is far too expensive for us.”
Hussain is my firstborn child. The day he was born was the happiest of my life. I had always dreamed of having my own children and watching them grow up.
However, now I may never get to see my son grow past the age of 6.
It all started in 2017, when he was just 3 years old.
Hussain had caught a cold, and soon had a fever as well.
Thinking
it to be just an ordinary fever, I kept him in bed and nursed him for a
few days. Yet, his temperature did not come down. I stayed up day and
night nursing him with a wet cloth, but there was no improvement.
“My husband, Ismail, is an electrician. His earnings are just enough for us to get by on a daily basis. I knew taking our son to the doctor would be a financial burden, so I was hesitant.”
But when I realised that Hussain’s neck had started to swell, I knew this was something I couldn’t take care of alone.
I told Ismail that we needed to save up and take our boy to the doctor as soon as possible. Hussain’s condition only worsened, and he began to suffer from seizures.
“We rushed him to the hospital, borrowing money from relatives for the expense. I was filled with dread and confusion, not knowing what was wrong with my little boy.”
At the hospital, Hussain was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia– a form of blood cancer.
Hearing
the word ‘cancer’ made me fall to the floor weeping. I couldn’t believe
that what had started out as a simple fever a few days ago had turned
into my worst nightmare.
So far, we have borrowed money from relatives and sold our property to be able to afford Hussain’s chemotherapy.
However, despite spending everything we had on his treatment, this is not going to be enough to save his life. He needs a transplant of INR 3000000.00 to cure him.
Our savings have been completely drained. We have nothing left to give to our son, but his life is dependent on this transplant.
“The painful chemotherapy has changed him completely. My sweet, active boy has become sad and is always crying. I can’t bear to see him like this.”
Your donations are our only chance to save our child’s life now. Without it, all our suffering would’ve been for nothing.
Please, don’t let Hussain slip away from us. He doesn’t have much time.
