Help 5-Year-Old Mahira Fight a Life Threatening Kidney Condition

Five-year-old Mahira sits quietly on the hospital bed, trying to understand what is happening to her small body. She says softly, “I have a problem with my kidneys. They give me medicine, but I don’t get better.” It has been less than a month since her symptoms began, but her condition is already serious.

Doctors at Panacea Hospital have told the family that Mahira has Nephrotic Syndrome, a kidney disorder that causes swelling, pain, weakness, and can become life threatening without proper treatment. Mahira tries to explain her fear in simple words, “If I don’t get treatment, I will die.”

Her parents, Mohd Kasim and Najrana, are devastated. Her father works as a daily labourer. Some days he earns 200 rupees, some days 250, and on many days he earns nothing. Their monthly income barely reaches 6,000 rupees. They do not even have a rented house of their own. Now, with Mahira’s sudden illness, they have nothing left to depend on.

“My daughter is in a lot of trouble. She needs a lot of money,” her mother says, struggling to hold back tears. The doctors have estimated 9.5 lakh rupees for her treatment, medicines, and ongoing care. For this family, even arranging one day’s meal is difficult. Affording treatment of this scale is impossible.

Her parents watch her suffer, unable to help. Mahira’s swelling increases. Her energy fades. Her nights are painful. Her mother says, “Please help my daughter. We don’t have money. Only help can save her.”

Mahira is only five years old. She should be playing, studying, and running around her home. Instead, she is fighting a kidney disease she cannot understand.

Your support can give Mahira a chance to recover. You can help her get the treatment she urgently needs.

Please help save Mahira’s life.
