Hello, my name is Afsheen and I'm reaching out to you today with a desperate plea. I am fundraising for my beloved mother "Shamsha Jabeen" who has been diagnosed with liver cancer stage 3. This devastating news has plunged our family into a crisis, and we are now fighting against time to secure the life-saving treatment she desperately needs in Karachi, Pakistan.
My mother is the anchor of our family, a source of endless love, wisdom, and strength. She's always been there for me, through thick and thin, sacrificing so much to ensure my well-being. The thought of losing her, especially to an illness that can be treated, is unbearable. This isn't just about a medical condition; it's about giving my mother a chance to live, to continue being the heart of our home, and to create more cherished memories with those she loves. Her unwavering spirit throughout her life has been my biggest inspiration, and now, it's my turn to fight for her with everything I have.
My mother's cancer journey began subtly, with whispers of fatigue and unexplained discomfort. We initially dismissed them as everyday weariness, but as the symptoms lingered and worsened, a chilling unease settled over us. The day the doctors confirmed it was liver cancer, our world shattered. It felt as though a dark cloud had descended, stealing our peace and leaving us with an overwhelming sense of fear. The specialists in Liaquat National Hospital Karachi have outlined a comprehensive treatment plan that offers a real ray of hope. However, the path ahead is financially daunting.
The recommended treatment involves a series of highly specialized procedures:
3 TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization) sessions and 5 chemotherapy (microwave) sessions.
Each TACE session alone costs approximately 10 lakh PKR. This means we are looking at a total of 30 lakh PKR just for the TACE sessions, plus the significant costs of the five microwave chemotherapy sessions, medications, hospital stays, and follow-up care. The estimated overall cost is astronomical for us.
To compound our struggle, I am currently unemployed and facing severe financial difficulties. The weight of these medical bills, without a steady income, feels crushing. I am unable to even initiate her first treatment session, and the thought of delay fills me with terror. I am trying everything I can, but I am at a standstill, desperately needing support to give my mother a fighting chance.
Every single rupee you contribute will make an immediate and direct impact on my mother's treatment. The funds raised will be meticulously used to cover:
1. The full cost of her three TACE sessions.
2. The expenses for her five microwave chemotherapy sessions.
3. Essential medications, scans, and diagnostic tests.
4. Hospitalization charges and surgical fees.
5. Post-treatment care and crucial follow-up appointments.
In this incredibly dark and challenging time, your support would mean everything to our family. It would provide the crucial lifeline needed to begin and continue my mother's treatment without delay, giving her the best possible chance to overcome this formidable disease. Please, I humbly request you to support me in this hard time and help my mother on her path to recovery.
Thank you for your immense kindness, your generosity, and for being a beacon of hope when we need it most.
