Dear Kind Hearts Around the World,

My name is Zunair Khalid and I am creating this GoFundMe on behalf of a young and courageous girl named Zahra Habibi, who is fighting a life-threatening illness and needs your urgent support.

Zahra is a 19-year-old daughter, diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) a very aggressive form of blood cancer. She has already started treatment, but doctors have now informed us that a bone marrow transplant is critical for her survival.

Because of her condition and cultural background, Zahra is a parda-daar (modest & conservative) girl, and her family has requested that we do not share her picture. She is cherished, respectful, and beloved by everyone who knows her.

Her Family Situation

Zahra’s father passed away, leaving her mother as her only caregiver and sole support.
Her mother is completely alone, emotionally shattered, and financially unable to handle this cost.

There are no significant savings, no financial support network, and the bills are already mounting. Zahra deserves a fighting chance but we cannot do it alone.

What Doctors Have Recommended

According to certified medical records from Shifa International Hospital (Islamabad, Pakistan):

✔️ Zahra has relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia
✔️ She needs FLAG + Venotoclax chemotherapy
✔️ If remission is achieved, she must undergo an allogenic bone marrow transplant
✔️ All preparation, chemo, and transplant needs to happen urgently

What Funds Will Be Used For

The total cost for treatment has been estimated by her oncology team:

| Treatment Component | Approx. Cost in PKR | Approx. Cost in USD
| Chemotherapy | ₨1,500,000 | $5,250 USD
| Allogeneic BMT | ₨3,500,000 | $12,250 USD
|Total Estimated Cost | ₨5,000,000 | $17,500 USD

Conversion used: ~285 PKR = 1 USD (subject to minor changes)

Additionally, funds will cover:
✔ Hospital stay for patient and donor
✔ Blood product support
✔ Essential antibiotics & medicines
✔ Laboratory tests and imaging
✔ Donor HLA matching
✔ Consultation & physician fees
✔ Follow-up care

Total fundraising goal: $25,000 USD
This includes emergency buffers and unforeseen treatment needs.

⏱ Why This Is URGENT:

Without timely treatment, the disease will progress rapidly.
Each day without a transplant increases risk of complications and reduces survival chances.
Chemotherapy and donor preparation must begin immediately.

Every hour matters. Zahra’s chances of survival depend on reaching this goal quickly.


Why Your Support Matters:

✔ Your donation will save a life
✔ Your contribution will give a grieving mother hope
✔ Your support will help a young woman beat cancer
✔ No contribution is too small — every dollar moves us closer

A Final Message from the Family

“We are heartbroken but holding onto faith. Zahra is strong, but we cannot bear this burden alone. Your kindness can bring her back from the brink. May God bless you for every prayer, share, and donation.”
