Help Zunaira Fight for Her Life
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
My name is Arfa, and I’m reaching out with a mother’s desperate plea to help my 12-year-old daughter, Zunaira. Just a few days ago, our world turned upside down.
It was an ordinary school day when I received a call from her school that shattered my heart. Zunaira had collapsed unexpectedly in class. I rushed to her school in disbelief, only to arrive to a scene that no parent should ever witness—police cars, ambulances, and firefighters surrounded the school.
The principal met us with tears in her eyes, explaining that Zunaira had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. She had stopped breathing, and paramedics were giving her electric shocks to try to restart her heart. She was rushed to the emergency room, where 15 to 20 doctors and nurses fought to save her life. My healthy, joyful little girl, who had no prior medical history, was now battling to stay alive.
Zunaira has been in the ICU at BC Children’s Hospital for five days now, and our family is clinging to hope as she fights this unimaginable battle. Watching her lie there, surrounded by machines, has been the most painful experience of our lives.
We are grateful for the incredible care she’s receiving, but the road ahead is uncertain and long. The costs associated with her medical care, ongoing treatment, and the time our family needs to be by her side are overwhelming.
We’re asking for your support, no matter how big or small, to help us focus on Zunaira’s recovery without the additional burden of financial stress. Your donations will go toward her medical expenses ( such as medicine, at home therapies, aide for at home care), travel costs, and ensuring we can be there for her every step of the way.
Zunaira is a bright, loving, and resilient child who means the world to her siblings, friends, and family. We are praying for her full recovery and holding onto the belief that she will overcome this.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity, prayers, and love during this devastating time. Please share Zunaira’s story to help us spread the word.
With gratitude,
Arfa and Family
