I am Ibaihun Kurbah. I’m 20 years old and a footballer from Meghalaya’s Eastern West Khasi Hills district. I’ve proudly represented my state in national tournaments under the All India Football Federation, and football has always been my greatest passion. But today, I’m fighting the toughest match of my life—off the field.
Earlier this year, I started feeling unusually tired and noticed swelling in my body. After several tests, I received the heartbreaking news: both my kidneys have failed. I now urgently need a kidney transplant to survive. The doctors have said a living donor with an O+ blood group would be ideal.
I never imagined my journey would take this turn. From running across fields to being confined by my illness, life has changed overnight. But I haven’t lost hope. With your support—whether it’s helping spread the word, offering financial help, or stepping forward as a donor—I believe I can get through this.
Please help me get back to the field, to the game I love, and to the life I’m still fighting for. Your kindness can give me a second chance.
