Assalamu Alaiykum. Our names are Salma and Meriame and we are writing this to share the story of our amazing Aunt Ouafae. She’s been fighting an unimaginable battle against cancer, and we need help.

My aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and had to undergo surgery to remove one of her kidneys. After her surgery, we were hopeful that she could start recovering, but just three months later a follow-up scan revealed the news that the cancer had spread to her pelvic area, under her rib, and into her bones. We are doing everything we can to quickly find out if the cancer has spread even further beyond what we already know.

We are trying to raise funds to help cover the costs of essential medical treatments that include further testing to determine the extent of the cancer, chemotherapy, and the ongoing medications she’ll need to continue fighting this illness. My aunt lives in Morocco, and while we are all desperately trying to support her from afar, it’s incredibly difficult to be there with her during this time. She’s always been there for me and my cousins/family offering us love, guidance, and strength that has shaped us into who we are today.

She is an incredible woman who has always put others before herself. Despite not having children or a husband, she has poured so much love into the lives of everyone she meets. She’s an inspiration to us all and we can’t imagine life without her.

Any donation you can make, no matter how small, will help ease the financial burden of this treatment and give my aunt the best possible chance to keep fighting. Your support means the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Jazakom Allahu Khaiyran
