Jayindee Vidara Kumarasiri is a bright 12-year-old girl from Medawachchiya, Sri Lanka, who has been battling Transfusion-Dependent Beta Thalassemia Major — a serious inherited blood disorder where the body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells on its own. She has been dependent on regular blood transfusions just to survive.
The only cure is a bone marrow transplant.
Jayindee has a willing donor, her father, and doctors at Asiri Central Hospital in Colombo, Sri Lanka's leading private hospital, have confirmed she is ready to undergo a haploidentical bone marrow transplant. The hospital has formally quoted the cost at SLR 14,000,000 (approximately USD ~50,000 for the base procedure), with the family's total fundraising target accounting for all associated care, reaching approximately $90,000 USD.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the community in Sri Lanka, the family has raised most of this amount. They are approximately $15,000 USD away from their goal — and that is where we hope you can help.
Jayindee's father works as a civil servant at the Medawachchiya Divisional Secretariat. This is a modest-income family who has exhausted every resource to save their daughter. Every dollar you donate brings this little girl closer to a healthy, transfusion-free life.
This campaign is being organized by members of the Sri Lankan community in the United States who personally know this family through community connections. All funds raised will be transferred directly to the family's verified bank accounts (details provided to donors upon request).
Any amount you donate today gets Jayindee closer to the finish line.
