I am Rahamath Ulla. I am from a small village called Ramnagar, near Tumkur. It was earlier this year I got to know my 8 year old daughter, Tasmiya is suffering from blood cancer. With bare minimum facilities available in Tumkur, I decided to bring my daughter to Bangalore to give her the best treatment.

Her chemotherapy sessions have started at BGS Global Hospitals. Doctors are positive with a aggressive chemo sessions, Tasmiya could be completely cured.

I work as a driver and get a maximum of Rs. 400 for a trip. With constant hospital follow ups, my service has dropped too. I have been struggling to arrange for the chemo sessions and medicines but have managed to pay for his treatment by far with help from family and relatives by loaning the funds. But to arrange 10 lakhs is next to impossible. As his father I cannot give up. The only way to save my daughter is by your support. Please make a donation and support us.

How can you help this father?

Rahamath Ulla works as a driver for a small car-rental agents in Kengeri. His wife is a homemaker. His younger son is 4 year old. “With so much going on, I cannot afford to send him to school this year. I need to save my Tasmiya. I had to pick between my daughter’s health and son’s education. I have loaned from friends and family but it is never enough.”

Arranging for medicines and tests since January has already been a struggle. It's not easy for a parent to see his child flight a disease this grave. Your support will save his 8 year old daughter. Please contribute now and help Rahamath Ulla

Dear Supporters

The last round of chemotherapy for Tasmiya got done on September 18. Now that the toughest part of the treatment is over, Tasmiya is very cheerful and has started playing with her brother again. Tasmiya, her brother and their parents returned to their hometown in Tumkur on October 9, after a go-ahead from her doctor. All the blood-test reports are also normal.

Tasmiya loves to cycle and goes out for cycling every morning and evening around the neighbourhood. However, since her doctors have advised it that she does not mingle with people outside home for too long. For the next two to three months this is essential because of the risk of infection.

She has to take a lumbar puncture every 15 days for the next three months as a part of maintenance chemotherapy. She will be able to join school only in January. Tasmiya is eagerly looking forward to it. Rahmatullah, Tasmiya’s father, says “I would like to thank all contributors and Milaap once again. Tasmiya is now healthy because of all of you”.
