Help 16-year-old Shabaz recover from severe malnutrition

16-year-old Shabaz has been suffering from severe malnutrition for years and is in dire need of treatment.

Arefa Begum and Atta Ulla Khan recall that they had a healthy baby boy 16 years ago. All was well until he began having tummy troubles when he was just 8 years old. He was not eating right, and even if he was force-fed, he would immediately have to poop it out. His body was not digesting food.

Shabaz was diagnosed with TB in his stomach. He was on medication for a long time. When he got better, his parents thought he was cured and stopped the dosage. Eventually, his condition got worse. The symptoms came back, and now Shabaz is in intolerable pain.

He has been advised to urgently undergo treatment and management of his condition which is amounting to a total of 3 lakh Rs. He is in a very critical condition and is unable to swallow or gain any  weight. Shabaz may lose his life without medical intervention

His parents are willing to do whatever it takes to save their son but unfortunately, do not have the funds to help their son.
