Single Mother Saved One Son From Cancer, Now Fears Losing Another

20-year-old Habeeb Ulla Shariff had just completed his ITI course and was preparing to take up a job. After years of hardship, he was finally ready to stand on his feet and support his mother, who has raised her three children alone since her husband passed away. But before he could begin his life, he fell terribly sick. He was diagnosed with blood cancer.

“He kept telling me that once he got a job, our struggles would end. Now he is in the ICU fighting for life,”-  mother, Mausina Banu

When One Son Fought For Life, She Never Imagined the Other Would Join Him
Last year, her younger son Inayat (16) was diagnosed with the same rare disease. Mausina sold every bit of property they ever owned to save him, praying he would recover. Just when he was about to live his life again, go to school, his condition worsened, and he was moved to the ICU. Before she could even get out of that shock, Habeeb was also admitted to the ICU.

“They tell me to be strong, but how do I stay strong when both my sons are fighting death under the same roof? It feels like my heart is being torn apart. Every morning I pray asking for only one thing, to let me walk out of this hospital with both my sons alive.”- mother, Mausina Banu

All they have is each other, and now their hope is shattering
When Mausina lost her husband to a sudden heart attack nine years ago, her life came crashing down. With no income and no work experience, she relied solely on her siblings to survive and raise her three children.

Her children have always been a pillar of strength for Mausina. They never had much, but they had each other, and that was enough to survive every storm. Habeeb, being the eldest, became the quiet protector of the family. The siblings relied on and looked up to him. But now, with both her sons fighting for life in the ICU, the very future they built their hopes on is slipping through their fingers.
