When Ayaan was not even a year old he was diagnosed with a severe blood disease called Thalassemia.  

What is Thalassemia?
Thalassemia is a disease of the blood, where there is increased destruction of the blood cells. Since such a patient does not have an adequate number of blood cells, they suffer from anaemia, which makes them extremely weak, dizzy and lightheaded. It can also cause an enlarged spleen and a damaged liver. It even breaks down the immunity and causes jaundice.  

Ayaan, has been suffering from this disease for the last two years and is in chronic pain with a persistent loss of appetite. Ayaan has been undergoing a number of blood transfusions in order to treat his condition but that can be equally dangerous as it causes an overload of iron in the body which can become life-threatening.

 After 15 days, Ayaan's decline starts. He needs a blood transfusion in a week to be revived. He becomes weak and unable to move. His parents have to force him to go to the hospital because he is afraid of needles. A bone-marrow transplant is the only thing that will cure Ayaan's blood disorder and make him better.

However, Thalassamia is hereditary and sadly, Ayaan's younger brother, Arfath is also a victim to this deadly disease and they both need to undergo a Bone Marrow Transplant.
 Brothers, Ayaan and Arfath suffer from Thalassemia

This is a huge reason for devastation and concern among their parents who not only need to save their sons but also pay for their treatment.  Ayaan's father, Maqbool, earns only 6000 Rs a month and cannot afford the treatment for his sons.

Ever since the doctors have told him that a bone-marrow transplant can make his children better, Maqbool wants to get that for his children. Even though they cannot afford a bone-marrow transplant, it is the hope that keeps them going.

Maqbool needs our help to fund Ayaan's treatment which needs to be done urgently. Your contribution can save Ayaan's life.
