I'm reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to share the story of a brave girl, Umaira, who is fighting a courageous battle against a germ cell brain tumor in Sri Lanka.

Umaira is currently in critical condition, and her family is facing significant medical expenses. I've set up this fundraiser to support Umaira's treatment and help alleviate some of the financial burden on her family.

The parents will be sharing updates on Umaira's condition, and I'll be providing regular updates on the fundraiser's progress.

Thank you for taking the time to read Umaira's story. Please share this fundraiser with your loved ones, and let's come together to support this brave young girl in her fight against cancer.


Urgent Appeal for Umaira's Cancer Treatment

Meet Umaira Irshad, a brave and resilient 16-year-old girl who has been battling a recurring germ cell brain tumor. Despite her tender age, Umaira has shown remarkable strength and determination in the face of adversity.

The Journey So Far

Umaira's health issues began with the diagnosis of a germ cell brain tumor, which severely impacted her health and vision. In December 2023, she underwent a critical surgery, followed by multiple chemotherapy sessions. Although these treatments provided temporary relief, Umaira's condition has worsened, requiring another urgent operation scheduled for January 2025.

A Family's Plea for Help

As Umaira's primary caregivers, her parents, Shirana and her husband, have been grappling with immense emotional and financial challenges. With Shirana being unemployed since December 2023 and her husband losing his business during the same period, the family is struggling to make ends meet. Despite receiving generous support from loved ones and well-wishers for Umaira's prior treatments, the family is now in urgent need of additional financial assistance to continue her care.

A Call to Action

We are appealing to your kindness and generosity to help Umaira receive the critical medical treatment she needs. Your contribution, no matter how small, would make a significant difference in giving Umaira a fighting chance at recovery.
