In Sirathu, one of the oldest towns in Kaushambi (Uttar Pradesh), Chand Babu and his wife are bracing themselves for another uphill journey. Their 10-year-old son, Anas, is suffering from a life-threatening illness and they have no money for his treatment.

Anas first started presenting symptoms of his illness when he was only five years old. With each passing year, his health has continued to worsen. Initially, they arranged funds for his treatment by using their savings and loans. But the cost of Anas’s treatment and number of procedures he needs has only increased over time.

“His stomach has swollen up like a balloon. You can see the dark veins underneath his skin. He can’t sit or stand or walk for too long. He vomits after each meal. He can’t even stretch his arms without feeling unbearable pain. This illness has destroyed my child’s life,” says Mantasha.

“I work as a laborer. My daily income is Rs.300. If my work and wages were steady then that would be another story. But I have to sit at home for months without a job when there is no work,” says Chand Babu (Anas’s father).

Both Chand Babu and Mantasha wish for their child’s speedy recovery. But a poor family that has been overwhelmed by years of medical expenses cannot raise Rs 25 lakhs alone. Their dire financial straits have been made worse by the fact that their son is running out of time each day they are unsuccessful at bringing in more money.

"I don’t have any friends or relatives to share my feelings with but I am scared of losing my child. I am looking at God for help. Maybe Allah will send someone who will help us treat our son," she says.

Will you support this family through their enduring hardship? Your kind generosity is the only thing that can save innocent Anas from losing his life. This disease has stolen his childhood. Don't let it steal his life.
