Help Shazia with her battle of cancer

Donation protected
In August of 2018, the family of 56 year old Shazia Sadat was given the news that a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and much more is diagnosed with high grade B-Cell Lymphoma favoring DLBCL (an aggressive, fast-growing NHL that affects B-lymphocytes.) Living in a country like Afghanistan, where there is not one single cancer treatment facility center, or any qualified oncologists, Shazia's family was left with devastation. Sacrificing all they had saved to start their own lives, they sent Shazia to the neighboring country of India, which she then started her treatment. She went through 6 cycles of chemotherapy, and 10 rounds of radiation in the span of 6 months. Heading towards the road of better health, Shazia was very hopeful that she will become better, and hopefully live her life with her family, and was looking forward to becoming a first time grandmother in the next few months to come. 

After being told that she is cancer free in March of 2019, Shazia headed back to Kabul, Afghanistan with so many emotions of joy in her heart. Until she started to feel ill in late June of 2019.

Shazia is currently in New Delhi, India right now, at the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Center and has discovered she is now diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, which is recognized as the fastest growing human tumor. Burkitt lymphoma is associated with impaired immunity and is rapidly fatal if left untreated. Her family is in shock, and more-so unfortunately Shazia feels hopeless, and feels that her body can't bear it anymore.  The last thing we want Shazia to think about is how her expensive treatment will be taken care of.

Shazia was once so full of energy, and light. She needs your help to come back and be the light once again. Any amount of donation will help.
