Thank you, Dawn

Published November 29, 2014

A BIG thank you to Dawn for printing my appeal on Nov 19 for donations for Daniyal, a five-year-old boy suffering from Aplastic Anaemia and needing a bone marrow transplant which alone will cost Rs2.2 million. The tests for a match and post-transplant treatment will come to another Rs 0.6 million.

As a result of the letter, the father of the child was contacted by a human being, GS, who deposited a substantial amount in favour of the child at the NIBD and promised more if needed. Because of this, the child was admitted and treatment has started.

If there are other angels who wish to help, please contact his father, Muhammad Imran, at 0345-6275443 and confirm details before donating.

Thank you Dawn for your donation towards this child.
