Appeal for help

Md Ibrahim Kha, a student of BA degree course of Pear Ali University College under Sreepur upazila in Gazipur, is battling a back bone cancer.

The 22-year old young man had been complaining of back pain and feeling sick and dizzy before he was diagnosed with a highly aggressive back bone tumour several months ago.

As per suggestion from the physicians of Khulna City Medical College, he was admitted to National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital (NICRH) at Mohakhali in the capital.

According to the biopsy report, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of back bone cancer. He is now undergoing treatment under Dr Nahid Hasan of NICRH.

Doctors say he needs 17 chemo and some radio therapies within next one year to save his life. To complete the full treatment, more than Tk 20 lakh will be required.

Ibrahim Kha is losing last ray of hopes to live and return to normal life as his father finds it almost difficult to bear the expenses of his treatment. 

Md. Yunush Kha, father of the young man and a man of Shapur village under Kheshra union in Tala upazila of Satkhira district, is a day laborer.  Ibrahim is his eldest son of his two sons and one daughter.   

Ibrahim’s father and his uncle Zinarul have already spent Tk 6 lakh selling all of their belongings and taking loans for treatment. They are now frustrated and not in any position to bear huge amount of treatment cost.

His father, mother Nargis Begum, his siblings and friends have made a fervent appeal to the benevolent and affluent class of people and organisations to come forward with their helping hands to save his life.

Any financial assistance can be forwarded to the address: Md Yunuch Kha (Father) Mobile contact no: 01799-141644 (bKash); uncle Zinarul 01915-891902 (Rocket).
