Dear compassionate souls, my name is Eman Fatima, a devoted pupil at Pristine Private School Dubai, and I'm standing before you today with a heart overflowing with compassion and a burning desire to change the world. It's often stated that a society's ability to protect its weakest individuals is a sign of its greatness. Today, I invite all of you to join hands with me in supporting a cause that determines the trajectory of many many lives in Pakistan and transcends borders.
Do you know that each year, the deadly disease called cancer impacts the lives of over 10,000 young souls in Pakistan? Half of these children are left without access to even basic healthcare, and of those who do manage to enter treatment, an overwhelming 70% can't even complete it. While developed countries report an 80% survival rate for pediatric cancer, Pakistan's number stands at a mere 35%. These statistics represent actual children, actual families, and actual stories of heartbreak and resilience; they are not just vague numbers. However, the Indus Hospital & Health Network stands as an ember of hope in the face of all the darkness and despair.
Committed to Saving Lives Together, the Indus Hospital & Health Network is steadfast in its resolve to change this disheartening scenario. Our comprehensive Pediatric Oncology Department offers more than medical interventions; it also includes mental health support and provides accommodations for families in desperate situations. With over 12,000 pediatric cancer patients treated at no cost, Indus Hospital & Health Network stands as a pillar of hope for countless families.
Now, let me share a heart-touching quote: "Cancer shouldn't rob any child of their right to a joyful childhood." These words resonate deeply with us because they serve as a constant reminder that every child, no matter what their circumstances, deserves the opportunity to dream, laugh, and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Your collaboration with IHHN has the potential to radically alter these lives. Together, we can give these kids the gift of a second chance that will change their lives and allow them to pursue their dreams without restriction, whether you support us by spreading awareness or by making financial contributions.
In the spirit of giving, I encourage you to consider sponsoring chemotherapy sessions, as every contribution counts:
Sponsor 1 Chemotherapy Session: AED 100
Sponsor 3 Chemotherapy Sessions: AED 300
Sponsor 5 Chemotherapy Sessions: AED 500
Sponsor 10 Chemotherapy Sessions: AED 1000
Finally, let me introduce you to Maryum, a courageous young girl who embodies the resilience and hope that your support can provide:
Maryum is a talented and enthusiastic young woman. Her family experienced a period of extreme hardship and emotional turmoil after she was given a cancer diagnosis. Despite the difficulties, Maryum persevered, receiving treatment at Indus Hospital & Health Network while honing her artistic talents by painting there. The journey not only brought her back to health but also deepened her love for her art, which she later auctioned to support IHHN! Maryum's incredible story is a testament to the power of hope, love, and the transformative impact of your contributions.
Join us today in this admirable endeavor, and together, we can improve the lives of countless Pakistani children and adults who are affected by cancer. Let our compassion and deeds speak louder than words, shedding light on even the darkest of circumstances.
This is Maryum's incredible story!
There is no time anymore
Give a Smile.
