Sayed is a 6 year old boy who was diagnosed with Relapsed acute Myeloid Leukemia in the month of May 2016. His Father Zainulabebin works as a labor says that Sayed started showing symptoms from the age of 5.
We are daily wage labourers Sayed is our first child. We led a simple life in the small village in Belgaum. But today, we are spending nights in the hallways of paediatric floor of the hospital for our son's life.
Sayed came home from school. But I had never seen my child this dull. He was running a temperature. We rushed him to local government hospital. They said it could be due to weather change and should recover in couple of days. But the fever just would not subside. Soon we took him to a bigger hospital in Hubli and the doctors confirmed my son has Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a type of blood cancer. I remember sitting in the doctor's room, holding my son tight. The fear of losing a child the scariest feeling the world.
He is planned for a chemotherapy and also a Bone marrow transplant. The cost of chemotherapy and the transplant will cost almost 20 Lakhs and he really needs our help to survive.
Zainulabebin earns Rupees 200 a day. His wife is a home-maker and is expecting a baby in the coming months. His income is barely enough to cover his son’s everyday antibiotics. Medical expenses since June 2016 have already been a struggle. It's not easy for a parent to see his child fight complications this grave. Your support will save his 5 year old son.
