    This fundraiser will benefit

    Abdulrehman

    from Nizamabad, Telangana

3-year-old Abdulrehman sits on his hospital bed and quietly writes letters in his notebook. The little one has led a very difficult life. He never got a chance to go to school and live a life like other kids his age.

Since he was a year old, he has been suffering from DOCK8 deficiency, a rare immune disorder that decreases numbers of immune cells. Because of that, the patient becomes prone to recurrent viral infections of the skin and respiratory system and has an increased risk for cancer.

I am his father Amad Saadi and my wife Sameena we can’t be put into words. We lost their firstborn within a year of his birth. The baby had severe itching and diarrhea. Before we could understand what was wrong with him, he breathed his last.

However, when the little one turned a year old, even he fell sick. He had recurrent pneumonia and was very weak. Me and my wife had already lost one kid, we were adamant to do anything it takes to save Abdulrehman.

Since then, he has been undergoing treatment for his grave disease. In his short life, there hasn’t been a day when he hasn’t endured pain. Because of his disease, he has recurrent infections which can turn into life-threatening conditions.

Abdulrehman is a quiet child. He either keeps lying on his bed and doodles in his book or watches videos on his mother’s phone. On days when he feels active, he hops around the house but gets tired very easily.

Tragedy hit them again when the doctors were recently told that medicines won’t work on Abdulrehman anymore. The only way to take him out of his disease is a bone marrow transplant which will cost INR 3730000.00.

We have already drained the lifetime’s savings to be able to fund his expensive treatment, but now, we have reached a point where it seems impossible to raise even a penny when they need lakhs.

Me and my wife are in dire need of money to save their child. Your kind contributions can help us. Please donate generously and take Abdulrehman out of his grave disease.
