"Aaira cries for her mother every day who is not with us today. Yasmeen (Aaira's mother) didn't even get to meet Aaira ever, from the start Yasmeen assumed Aaira was dead as she had just had a Caesarean delivery, was suffering from jaundice. Aaira's frail health made it impossible to be able to meet Yasmeen. The total cost of the surgery is Rs. 75,000/-. As I am a daily wage embroidery worker earning Rs. 200/- and can't collect the funds to get the operation done for my daughter, so I request all kind-hearted people to support my daughter"

~ Nazre Alam Shaikh ( Aaira's father)

Aaira Shaikh is only 2-years-old. Her journey from the start has been difficult, she was born weak and her mother had to go through Caesarean delivery (C-section). Doctors told Aaira is suffering from Valvar aortic stenosis: Mild tricuspid regurgitation (Tricuspid valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the two right heart chambers doesn't close properly. As a result, blood leaks backward into the upper right chamber) and needs Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty surgery. They were overcoming this devastating news when they learned another shocking news about the sudden demise of Yasmeen, their hopes for the future were dashed that day, as on the verge of financial collapse due to lockdown and grieving over the loss of Yasmeen, Nazre had no one to turn to.
