Urgent Help! Crowdfunding for Kidney Transplant for 39-Year-Old Wasim Shaikh

Imagine the heart-wrenching scene of a 5-year-old son losing his father—a devastating void that can never be filled. Picture the anguish of a widow mother losing her precious son, a pain that cuts deep and lingers for a lifetime. These are the unimaginable sorrows that have befallen Wasim Shaikh, a 39-year-old man from Nerul, Navi Mumbai, India whose kidney has shrunk to unexpected levels, is in the final stage of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and is now in an urgent need of Rs. 12,00,000 (Rs 12 lakh) for kidney transplant for which he seeks crowdfunding.

Wasim is Undergoing Dialysis and Is In Need for Kidney Transplant

Wasim’s health hangs in a delicate balance. Three days a week, he undergoes dialysis, a tiring and demanding process that drains him both physically and emotionally. With no one to accompany, he travels to the hospital every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from Nerul to Panvel in a local train all by himself. Despite the provision of free dialysis under the Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Programme and discount on injections and dialysis, the monthly expenses on dialysis goes around Rs. 10,000. Imagine the situation of the house when the sole breadwinner of the family spends 3 days of the week in dialysis!

This is not all. Day by day, his health deteriorates further, marked by dangerously high blood pressure readings of 180-200. The levels of creatinine, a key indicator of kidney function, rise alarmingly to 12.0—a silent reminder of the fragile balance between life and death. (Check reports). Time is slipping away, and with each passing moment, the hope for a brighter future grows dimmer.

Wasim Has a Donor, His 59-year-old Mother!!!

Wasim’s 59-year-old mother, a widow, has selflessly made the courageous decision to donate one of her kidneys to save her son’s life. She is undergoing tests on a daily basis which too attracts bills. Here is a scan of the initial tests that gives her the green signal to be a donor.

An Invitation for Humanity to Come Forward, Unite and Extend a Helping Hand to Wasim Shaikh

For Wasim and his family, Rs. 12 lakh is a huge amount. So, when Wasim approached Humanity First Foundation (HFF) of which he is also an active member, the NGO thought of HealthViews Online so as to start this social campaign jointly and raise funds necessary for Wasim’s kidney transplant.

The idea is to crowdfund and send each penny raised directly to Wasim and thereby eliminating the cost of commission, payment gateway fee or payment processing fee that medical crowdfunding platform usually charges.

Yes, a dedicated member of the Humanity First Foundation (HFF) who volunteered diligently throughout lockdown, now finds himself on the other side of the equation. It is Wasim’s turn to seek help, to rely on the kindness of others, and as a torch bearer of humanity, kindness, compassion, healthy and better world, it is our responsibility to join forces to raise funds for his life-saving kidney transplant.

This is a call to the world, an invitation for humanity to come forward, to unite, and to extend a helping hand. The power of collective empathy now becomes Wasim’s lifeline—a lifeline that can bridge the gap between life and death.
