Zakiya Shaikh is a kind-hearted receptionist for a dental clinic in Thane. In September of 2021, she was diagnosed with breast cancer after a malignant lump was found in her breast. She has then been put on chemotherapy and is due for surgery for the removal of the cancerous lump in December - which will save her life!
As she belongs to a low economic status, she has approached the Milaap Community and is requesting your help to be able to afford her raise funds for her rounds of chemotherapy and much-needed surgery. 

Not only is Zakiya an excellent employee, but she is also the mother of young children and is the only breadwinner in her family. Zakiya's reliance and power makes her an inspiring and valuable asset to our community and we hope she will be able to gather funds for her surgery soon.
