Medical appeal for 4year old Niswat
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
This is a medical appeal for Niswat - my cousin's daughter who is currently in Kenya. Niswat is only 4 years old, and in late October this year she was diagnosed with a rare condition called Aplastic anaemia - bone marrow failure.
This has led to her getting weak, because of the low blood count which increases her risk of infections because of low white blood cells. She easily bruises and sometimes starts bleeding too.
So far she has required blood transfusion of red cells and platelets 4 times. After she gets the transfusion she picks up and becomes lively. We have seen her numbers rise and become hopeful, only to see them drop again and she weakens just as rapidly.
She needs to travel to India for further treatment and may require bone marrow transplant. Plans are underway to have her and her parents travel as soon as possible!
This will cost about 5 million Kenyan shillings (equivalent to USD $50,000).
I have setup this gofundme account on behalf of her parents, to raise the much needed funds.
100% of ALL donations will go towards the funds required for her treatment (and all other expenses) in India as it is not available in Kenya.
Her family would greatly appreciate any contributions made towards her treatment, but also appreciate if you just remember her in your prayers too.
Niswat has always been a healthy, energetic girl - the life of the (kids) party, and literally lights up every room she walks in to. Her funny and loving personality makes her one of those children you will never forget once you meet! Despite all that she has been faced with, she continues to be a fighter.
If Niswat could, I know she would personally thank everyone for their continued support. So on her and her family's behalf, I thank you all in advance and may you all be abundantly blessed!
For those in Kenya, the Mpesa paybill number is 877730.
When prompted for account number, you may write your name.
