Today, I am reaching out not as the Founder of SacredHand Canada, but as an aunt whose niece is fighting for her life.
Ghayda, the only daughter of my eldest sister, was only months away from completing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive bile duct cancer.
Since her diagnosis, she has endured countless hospitalizations, multiple procedures, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and repeated life-threatening infections. Despite her incredible strength and determination, the cancer has continued to spread, and time is running out.
After exhausting all available treatment options in the UK, Ghayda has now been accepted for a Dendritic Cell Vaccine and CIK Cell Immunotherapy Program in Turkey. This treatment offers renewed hope in controlling the cancer and preserving the possibility of a future life-saving liver transplant.
The cost of treatment, travel, accommodation, medications, and medical care exceeds CAD $500,000. Alhamdulillah, through the generosity of family, friends, and supporters, we have raised approximately CAD $150,000. However, we urgently need your help to raise the remaining amount.
Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference. Donate through Link in a bio.
