SmrAnk Libra Foundation hasn't added a story.
My son, Aman and I are all alone in this huge city while his father has stayed back so that he can arrange whatever money he can for Aman’s treatment. Aman is suffering from a rare blood disorder and I do not know how long he has. I’m really scared,” said Sulthana.
Sulthana the mother of 9-yr-old Aman fears that because of her inability to pay for her child’s treatment they will lose him forever. He has been diagnosed with Thalassemia major, a serious blood disorder in which the body does not make enough haemoglobin. He receives monthly blood transfusions but the doctors have told them that only a bone marrow transplant can permanently cure him.
7 year-long struggle
Aman was an energetic child. But suddenly at the age of 2, he fell sick. He had a high fever and the medicines were not able to bring it down so they visited the local clinic. The clinic could not be of much help.
The parents started to worry. The clinic staff suggested to the parents that they visit a multi-speciality. Without thinking too much the parents agreed. But it was a long journey from home and so they decided that Sulthana would accompany their son to the hospital while Mastan stayed back and continued working as a security guard so that he could pay the medical bills.
“We expected that it would be a 1-week stay after which we would return home but the situation was much worse. The doctors there ran multiple tests and concluded that Aman is suffering from a rare blood disorder and that he needs an urgent bone marrow transplant. I was absolutely devastated,” said Sulthana.
Even though they have been able to find an unrelated donor they are still trying to arrange for funds so that they can get Aman treated. The cost of the treatment is Rs 25 lakh ($ 34189.20) and they have only been able to gather a fraction of the amount.
“My wife and my son are all alone in an unknown city, going through so much and I’m here. No matter how much I want to be with them in these times, support them, I can’t because by working here I can send them some money. Every day when I go to work I pray to Allah, Please save my son and look after my wife, they are all I have….” said Mastan, wiping his tears.
The family needs your help. This disease has turned their world upside down and there is nothing that they can do about it but you can. With the help of your donations, Aman can get treated and the family can be reunited again. Please help them.
