Help Mira and Her Son Niku Through This Difficult Time

Our dear friend Mira recently received devastating news — her 8-year-old son, Niku, who has Down syndrome, has been diagnosed with leukemia.

Niku is currently admitted at the hospital, beginning treatment, and needs to be kept in a protected environment because his immune system is fragile. Mira has been by his side day and night, unable to work while focusing completely on his care.

Many friends and coworkers have asked how they can help. This page is a way to support Mira and Niku with the many unexpected expenses — from medical costs and transportation to meals and household needs — so she can focus entirely on Niku’s recovery.

Any amount, big or small, will make a difference. Please keep Mira and Niku in your thoughts and prayers, and thank you for showing your love and support during this difficult journey.
