A malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal blood cells. These cells suppress the production of normal blood cells leading to anemia and other side-effects including fever, chills, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, loss of weight, swollen or bleeding gums, headaches, enlarged liver and spleen, and an increased risk of infection. Leukemia also weakens the blood-clotting process causing patients to bruise easily and bleed excessively.

Thalassemia is a group of inherited genetic blood disorders that inhibit a person’s ability to produce hemoglobin naturally and drastically reduces the lifespan of red blood cells. Symptoms include chronic fatigue, lack of appetite and stunted growth. It can lead to bone deformation and death within the first ten years of life if not treated. Although the genetic abnormality that causes Thalassemia was discovered over 30 years ago, there is still no known cure for the disease. Regular blood transfusions at 2-3 week intervals are the only hope for leading a normal life.

A team of doctors and nurses in our hospital and blood bank are providing help to children suffering from Thalassemia and Leukemia by offering free treatment and blood transfusions paid for by donors like you.

Currently, we have many children suffering with Thalassemia and Leukemia who are in need of urgent treatment. You can change the life of one of these children by donating $25 a month. Please help us, help them.
