Fundraiser Ended! This fundraiser ended on November 1, 2021
The birth of my daughter Sidra changed everything for me. I felt blessed. I would wake up everyday, thank Allah, kiss my newborn daughter and leave for work.
I work in a madrassa where I teach the Quran to kids and earn a small income of INR 7,000. It isn’t enough but I was grateful to Allah for giving me a beautiful family and I somehow managed to take care of them.
But, that happiness did not last long.
Soon after she was born, Sidra was diagnosed with jaundice. The doctors assured us that it was quite normal for a newborn to have complications like these and that we shouldn’t be worried about it. However, as we took her back home, I noticed that her stomach was starting to swell up. My daughter grew paler & paler.
Worried sick, my wife and I rushed her to the hospital. We knew something was just not right and what we heard from the doctors shook us to our core.
“Your daughter’s condition is extremely critical right now. She is suffering from Biliary Atresia, a rare & deadly liver disease that caused her liver to fail. We'll need to perform a liver transplant at the earliest or else she might not survive.”
‘‘Ya Allah, I have just been blessed with her and you’re trying to take her back. Please don’t take my child away from me. I cannot bear to lose her.’, my wife cried out.
I barely had the chance to hold her again before she was rushed away by the nurses. The doctors started looking for a donor match for our daughter. Thankfully, they found out that I was a good match! For the first time, I felt some relief that Allah was still on our side.
But our little baby's transplant will cost Rs 20,50,000 ( $ 27430.37) which is far from our means.
Not even a year old- my daughter’s life now lies in limbo while we try to gather the money we need.
My wife Emiam tries her best to not lose hope but she breaks down looking at our baby’s condition. “I can’t believe this is happening to my child. She was so playful. Now, she just screams in pain and it breaks my heart because there is nothing I could do to comfort her,” says Emiam.
“I have spent my entire life praying and teaching God’s message to the kids. Now I just spend my time asking God to heal my baby.”
Everything seems blurry. I have borrowed money from all my acquaintances and no one can help us anymore. As days go by, our child grows weaker and her chances of survival- grow slimmer. Sidra needs help and she needs it as soon as possible.
Your support is the only option we have left. Please, help save my baby’s life before it’s too late.
