Faisal's Heartbreaking Story

• A Lifelong Battle: Faisal Khan, a bright 12-year-old boy, was diagnosed with Thalassemia Major at birth. This severe genetic blood disorder means his body cannot produce healthy red blood cells.
• 12 Years of Survival: For every single one of his 12 years, Faisal has depended on blood transfusions every 15 days just to stay alive. 
• Hope: Doctors have now confirmed that a bone marrow transplant can cure Faisal, giving him a chance at a normal, transfusion-free life.
• A Father’s Pain: Faisal's father, Afzal Khan, is a dedicated news reporter for a private channel. He brings home a modest salary of ₹15,000 per month to support his family of five—his wife and three children.
• An Impossible Sum: The life-saving surgery costs ₹52 lakhs. While the PM Relief Fund has granted ₹3 lakhs, the family must arrange the remaining ₹49 lakhs—an amount that is impossible for his father to arrange.
• Time is Running Out: Every passing day without the transplant means another painful transfusion for Faisal and deteriorating health. The window for the best transplant outcomes is critical.
