Help Sajjad undergo a kidney transplant

Story
Updates (2)

44 year old Sajjad Jiwani is diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Sajjad was diagnosed with CKD a year and a half back and has been under hemodialysis ever since. He has to undergo a life saving kidney transplant.

Sajjad Jiwani hails from Gujarat, but currently stays in Mumbai. He is separated from his family and has two children. He gets to see them only once in three years as they live in Hyderabad.

Sajjad currently stays in an old age home called Visamo Trust (Janabe Umme Kulsum Instituition) who currently help him financially. He does not have any family support. His parents are also dead. He is completely dependent on his old age home.

He is not able to work because of his health condition. He is from an underprivileged background and cannot afford the cost of transplantation.

Doctors have examined Sajjad and advised Kidney transplantation. This is to be done in Apollo Hospitals, Greams road, Chennai. The surgery costs almost 8 lakhs.

As he is not an earning member and as he is dependent on the old age home, they are not able to go further with the Kidney transplant unless they get the required help. Transplant has to be done at the earliest.

Dear supporters,

It took us a while to get in touch with the old age home and the consultant doctor of Sajjad. Sajjad's old age home has been generous to bear all the expenses for his treatment so that another patient can benefit from Milaap's funds. Lijo, a 16-year old kid is in need of an urgent Kidney transplant. He is currently on dialysis and has been fighting the disease bravely. His father is a daily wage labourer and cannot afford treatment for his child.

Here is a link for more details- https://milaap.org/fundraisers/lijo

Your contributions can help Lijo undergo the treatment that he needs. Thank you so much for your love and support.

Dear Supporters,

Thank you so much for coming forward to help Mr. Sajjad.

Mr. Sajjad was under hemodialysis thrice a week for chronic kidney failure, until his pending kidney transplant. Unfortunately, his weak body could not withstand the dialysis anymore. He collapsed right after the treatment and passed away on the 27th of February. His untimely death has affected everyone including his caretakers at the home, supporters and the team that was hopeful of his recovery.

We thank you for all the love and support shown to Mr.Sajjad. We are trying to get in touch with his close family and friends and will post an update soon on the utilization of funds.

Thank you,

Best,
Team Milaap
