Baby Zikra is a 5-year old girl who is diagnosed with blood cancer. She needs to undergo chemotherapy for another 2 years. Zikra had a lump on her inner thigh which turned out to be something deadlier than a mosquito bite.
Her parents rushed her to several doctors, and as the symptoms increased, her situation escalated until she was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer. Zikra needs chemotherapy at the earliest to live her life.
Zikra is from a village near Bagalkot. Her father is a small grocery shop vendor and mother is unemployed. They also have another two-year old kid. Zikra is from a small village in the district of Bijapur. She lives with her parents, two younger sisters, grandparents, an uncle, aunt, and two cousins.
Zikra's father owns a general store back in the village which he runs with his brother. Together they earn Rs. 10,000/month which is hardly enough for the entire family. So far, they have spent Rs. 50,000 for her treatment and are knee deep in debt. They have no more savings left or any source of income as the shop is closed so they can care for Zikra in Bangalore.Her parents rushed her to several doctors, and as the symptoms increased, her situation escalated until she was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer.

"My wife is caring for our kids back home. I'm here with Zikra, and my brother is helping me arrange for some money. So our only source of income is also gone. I don't know what we will do if we cannot get funds. She is our child, our first child!", says Majeed.
The cost of treatment is estimated at Rs. 6,00,000. This baby girl is so young and fragile to be fighting against something so deadly and painful. Her family is doing everything possible to save her. She is also going through emotional hell staying away from her mother and sisters as she is fighting the biggest battle of her life.
