Help Sheela Fight Breast Cancer - 15 Year Leukemia Survivor

Donation protected
Greetings, I’m Sheela’s younger sister. To all who know and love her, and to those learning of her story for the first time, our family is deeply grateful for your presence and support.

In October 2025, just before leaving for a trip to India, Sheela found a small lump in her left breast. When she returned two weeks later, it had grown noticeably, and tests confirmed stage 3 triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC)—an aggressive, fast‑growing type requiring intensive treatment.

Sheela lives in Hong Kong with her husband, where she is now receiving care at Queen Mary Hospital. This news was deeply difficult —especially as Sheela had already overcome T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) fifteen years ago.

That earlier battle shaped her faith profoundly, and even now, she continues to face each day with grace and gratitude.




Why We’re Asking for Help
Sheela’s doctors have recommended a comprehensive treatment plan including chemotherapy, surgery, and immunotherapy over the coming year.

When we first shared this page, we were hopeful that part of the immunotherapy would be subsidized through available support programs in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, we were later informed that the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation’s quota was full, and the fund has since been discontinued.

As a result, the cost per immunotherapy cycle is now approximately HK$39,600 (US$5,075). Her doctors have confirmed a total of 17 cycles, bringing the estimated cost to around HK$673,000 (US$86,000).

Sheela has had to pause work to focus entirely on her treatment and recovery. Due to her previous illness, her insurance is unable to cover these costs. We have explored all available options locally, but at this stage, there are no additional sources of financial support available to her.

A Note of Gratitude
Because of your generosity, encouragement, and willingness to share Sheela’s story, we have already raised enough to cover approximately 15 of the 17 cycles — nearly 90% of the total treatment cost.

We cannot fully express what this means to us. Your support has brought not only financial relief, but also immense emotional strength to Sheela during some of her most difficult days. Knowing that so many people are standing with her has lifted her spirit in ways that words cannot capture.

We are deeply thankful to each and every one of you.

How Your Support Helps
Every contribution will go directly toward Sheela’s medical care—primarily immunotherapy and related treatments. If funds exceed the amount required for her treatment, they will be directed to help others facing similar journeys through trusted campaigns or organizations and to support ongoing research that brings hope to future patients. Each donation, prayer, and kind word lightens Sheela’s burden and reminds her she’s not walking this road alone.

How You Can Help
  • Give toward Sheela’s treatment fund
  • Share her story with friends and groups who might want to help
  • Pray for Sheela’s healing, peace and strength

Thank you for your love, generosity, and support.

Sheela continues to inspire everyone around her with a joyful smile, quiet strength and unshakable faith.

With gratitude and hope!
