Loving dad (Farhad) fighting cancer

Donation protected
Dear friends,

While sitting down with his two years old daughter, Tina, celebrating Persian new year, Farhad had no idea that he would be hospitalized and beginning Chemotherapy, in just a few short days.

On the worst day of our life, (March 28, 2016), my brother Farhad was diagnosed with blood cancer (Acute Myeloid Leukemia).  After finding out about the doctor’s devastating news, Farhad showed pure bravery and positive attitude, giving hope to his wife (Azin) and pulling up all the family members together.

So far, he has undergone three different chemotherapy treatments, none of which have been successful. His doctors are now suggesting clinical trials as a promising approach. 

Farhad is a phenomenal, devoted father to his two year old daughter, Tina,  and his amazing wife, Azin. He has dedicated himself to his family and his community. He has been an active blood donor since his arrival to Vancouver back in 2010. It was just a few weeks after his diagnosis that his colleagues at RBC were inspired  by his caring and generous soul and showed their support by donating blood to the Canadian Blood Service (CBS). When he last gave blood in October 2015, he never thought that in six months time he would receive the live-giving transfusion of O+ blood, nearly every week from March until now.

Farhad and his family have a long and hard road ahead of them. Farhad is hoping to find a clinical trial lab somewhere in the world to undergo newly developed drugs and possible intense radiation over the next few months.

Farhad has not been able to work since his diagnosis day and will not be able to work for at least a year. His loving wife, Azin is taking time off work to be with Farhad through treatment and recovery. At the same time, Azin is also caring for their daughter – adding extra pressure on the entire family. This has put their family under immense financial and mental pressure that is only adding to the severity of the situation.  

We want to raise enough funds to cover their living expenses and unknown costs. Hoping to take all financial stress away, so they can focus on Farhad’s recovery and health. Every little bit helps. Thank you all so much for your love, prayers, and support.

If you can't give financially, please say a prayer for Farhad, Azin, and their beautiful daughter, Tina.
