I would like to appeal to your good conscience pursuant to the below e-mail. While the cancer-afflicted young girl needs a total of 9 chemotherapies (one bi-weekly), we have managed to get her 4 by now. Each chemotherapy costs about BDT 1 lakh 15 thousand. Can some 5 kind-hearted persons or groups of persons (consisting of friends, family members, relatives, colleagues etc. in each group) come up and each individual/group donate the total cost of one chemotherapy? Let us help this girl and her family in the spirit of what the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Allah is in the help of His servant until His servant remains in the help of another servant". Best regards. Wohid

Dear All,
Hope you are enjoying a happy and peaceful life with all the blessings and bounties of Allah (SWT). However, I wanted to bring to your attention the plight of a young girl from Bangladesh.
Farhana, a 20 years old girl is suffering from a rare cancer called "the non-Hodgkin lymphomas" (NHLs). The cancer is identified as fast growing, "hi grade" in her body, which leaves the patient in a very critical state. The hi grade cancerous cells tend to grow and multiply quite quickly and are more 'aggressive' than the other types of cancer.
 | Farhana could be one of your lovely daughters, sisters, nieces or a close relative? Would your kind heart afford to let Farhana die? Would you come forward to save Farhana's life? Of course, with our collective efforts, Allah (SWT) can restore a normal happy life to Farhana and she can smile again. |
The doctor in fact assures that the treatment is available, but will be quite expensive, which happens to be the main problem for her family. Her father Mr. Abdul Wahed, the only bread-earner who has to maintain a family of 6 members. The poor father himself also lost 80% of his eye sight 18 years ago in an accident while he was working in a medical laboratory. His physical limitation barred him to work in good positions & that's why he never enjoys a good financial condition.
 | What would you do if this happened to be your own family? Would you let Farhana's cancer take away peace of the whole family? Please help the family save Farhana's life. According to the Holy Qur'an, if you save a soul, you in fact save the whole humanity's soul. |
For treatment the doctors prescribed 9 chemotherapy initially, each of which will cost about TK. 1, 15,000 with additional medicine & other expenses. As estimated so far, it will take about 12-13 lac taka for the full treatment, it might be even higher if they want to go abroad for better treatment, which is never possible for them without help from generous donors.

Please let me know if you can help Farhana and her distressed family any way. Your generous donation can be directly sent to the below account of Farhana's mother:
