We’re writing this as a group of friends who feel incredibly grateful to have someone as

inspiring as Atoshi in our lives—and now, more than ever, we want to show up for her.

Our beautiful friend Atoshi has recently been diagnosed with Extraskeletal Ewing

Sarcoma (EES)—a rare, aggressive, and terminal cancer that has already spread to her

abdominal wall, liver, and lungs. Despite the devastating news, Afia has faced it with grace,

courage, and unwavering faith.

On 23 June, Atoshi underwent emergency surgery to remove a tumour in her small intestine.

Since then, she’s been in and out of hospitals, completing an overwhelming list of tests and

scans—CT, PET, histopathology reports—all while preparing for an intense course of

palliative chemotherapy. Her doctors have started her on a 14-cycle VDC/IE protocol to

slow the disease’s progression and give her the best possible quality of life.

And amidst all this—she submitted her final thesis and completed her Master’s degree in

Architecture, fulfilling her mother’s lifelong dream. We, her friends, are in awe of her

strength, spirit, and the love she continues to pour into the world—even as she fights for her

life. And now, we want to fight with her.

Cancer is cruel, but what makes it even harder is the burden of medical costs, specialised

scans, medications, and the support services she now needs every day. We’re starting

this fundraiser—to help ease the financial pressure and let Atoshi focus on what really

matters: her health, her family, and her moments of peace and comfort.

Every dollar, every prayer, every share makes a difference. Whether it’s $5 or $500—it all

adds up, and it’s all for Atoshi.

We’ll be sharing her journey (with her permission), medical updates, and ways you can

support. If you’re a health professional, a caregiver, or just someone who wants to contribute

love in any form—join us.
