Help 12 year old Fight Brain Cancer (Medulloblastoma) | This Is His Last Chance to Live

Tax Benefits

Aaquib already went under the knife once for his Brain Tumor Surgery. But Now, It is happening again and I have nothing left to save him!

Aaquib is a 12 year old child suffering from Medulloblastoma; It is a deadly type of brain cancer that starts in the part of the brain called the Cerebellum. Medulloblastoma is the common type of cancerous brain tumor in children.

Medulloblastoma begins as a growth of cells, which is called a tumor. The cells grow quickly and can spread to other parts of the brain. Medulloblastoma cells tend to spread through the fluid that surrounds and protects your brain and spinal cord. This is called cerebrospinal fluid. Medulloblastomas don’t usually spread to other parts of the body.

“2018! I don’t want to remember it. I don’t want it to happen again to my child. It was painful and I had almost lost him. My 12 year old already had Brain Tumor Surgery. And to our ill-fate it is happening again as he is suffering from Brain Cancer (Medulloblastoma). And this time, we have nothing left as his first surgery already shook us and left us financially  poor. Aaquib has sleepless nights as he fears what will happen with him. He already went through that pain. He has tremendous head pain and swollen legs because of which he cannot walk afar. He is already behind the children of his age and now his studies have stopped again due to ill-health.”

Aaquib already went through a Brain Tumor removal surgery in 2018 at Bhatia Hospital and he is again suffering from Brain Cancer (Medulloblastoma). The family had already exhausted all their savings and sold everything that they had just to save the life of Aaquib. Due to his health condition, his academic year is getting skipped.

  • Medical Condition

    Aaquib is a 12 year old boy suffering from Brain Cancer (Medulloblastoma). He already had a Brain Tumor removal surgery in 2018 and he has been detected with Brain Cancer again. The doctors have advised him for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant BMT. The family has nothing left to keep the Chemotherapy going on.

    Total Approximate expenditure for this Surgery is Rs. 10,00,000 (Ten Lac Rupees Only) which is beyond the means for this family.

    With this family in such a situation; I would urge everyone to extend their support with whatever they can afford.
