Give Riha Kumar a Chance to Hold Her Baby Again

My name is Riha Kumar. I’m 24 years old, and the proud mother of a beautiful 8-month-old baby girl named Zemira. She is the light of my life—my reason for breathing, for fighting, for hoping.

In March 2025, my world shattered. I was diagnosed with pleural effusion and an aggressive mediastinal tumor dangerously close to my lungs. It’s now confirmed to be cancer. Since that day, my life has been a storm of fear, pain, and unbearable uncertainty.

What has made this journey even harder is a heartbreaking delay in my treatment. Despite undergoing a biopsy in Fiji, the sample was never sent overseas for further testing as promised. For over a month, I waited, prayed, and cried for results that never came—precious time lost while the tumor grew, and my condition worsened.

Now, every breath is a struggle. The tumor has infected my lungs, and I live in constant pain and exhaustion. If I don’t receive urgent treatment soon, the cancer could spread to other parts of my body. I’m terrified—not just for myself, but for my daughter, who needs her mother.

Because there are no adequate treatment options available in Fiji, I must now travel overseas, to India, for immediate, life-saving care. The estimated cost of my treatment—surgery, chemotherapy, laser therapy, and hospital expenses—ranges between USD $50,000 to $65,000.

I am physically and emotionally exhausted. I've lost so much weight and strength. Some days, I can't even hold my daughter. I've missed so many of her little milestones—her smiles, her attempts to crawl—moments I dreamed of but could only witness from a hospital bed. That pain cuts deeper than anything cancer could ever do.

This is the most vulnerable I’ve ever been. I am humbly asking for your help. Whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing my story, your support can give me a second chance at life—a chance to fight for my health, to be the mother my daughter deserves, to see her grow up.

Please, help me get the treatment I urgently need. Help me hold my baby again—without pain, without fear.

With all my heart,

Riha Kumar
