Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu. My name is Shaheeda; many of you may know me as Mariposa. I am now writing this with tears in my eyes. This is not an easy task for me, but I have gotten to the point in my life where I am reaching out for help.

Normally, I am the one lending a hand and trying to help a bit, but unfortunately, my illness is not allowing me to live life as needed. The goal that I am trying to meet now is to cover medical expenses, living costs, and travel expenses due to the illness. I was recently told that I am borderline stage 4. I have been battling this illness for a while and have received some treatment; this prolonged my life a bit longer than expected. I have been pushing through all of this with my head held high, hoping and praying that soon will be the end of it all.

I pray for each and every one of you and thank Allah for putting you in my life. Thank you for your time and patience.
