Donation to Arhan Shaikh for the treatment of blood cancer

During the inauguration ceremony of the SAKHU Cancer Foundation, a poignant moment unfolded as Ms. Sakhu Jare, a true cancer warrior who has bravely fought her own battle against cancer, presented a much-needed donation to the guardians of 7-year-old Master Arhan Shaikh. Arhan, who was diagnosed with Pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a severe and life-threatening form of blood cancer, has been under intensive medical care. The emotional impact of the diagnosis on Arhan’s family was compounded by the financial burden of ongoing treatments.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the SAKHU Cancer Foundation, all of Arhan’s treatment expenses have now been fully covered, offering the family a ray of hope during an incredibly difficult time. The donation was presented by Ms. Sakhu Jare, who shared her own inspiring journey of survival and resilience. She emphasized that no child should face cancer alone, and that it’s crucial for the community to come together to support families like Arhan’s. The heartfelt gesture not only alleviated the financial strain on Arhan’s family but also reinforced the message of compassion and solidarity.

As Ms. Sakhu Jare handed over the donation, there was a visible sense of relief and gratitude on the faces of Arhan's guardians. This financial assistance allowed the family to focus entirely on Arhan’s recovery without the looming concern of medical bills. The donation marks a pivotal moment in Arhan’s treatment, giving him a fighting chance against this life-threatening illness. The event was also attended by Dr. Mangala Vidhate, Dr. Nilesh Veer, and Ms. Supriya Bhagat on behalf of the SAKHU Cancer Foundation, who all play crucial roles in providing care, guidance, and support to children battling cancer.

The presence of Dr. Kannan, Dr. Sarita, Madam Pillay, and the entire social work team from KEM Hospital was a testament to the unified effort being made to fight cancer at every level. The donation from the SAKHU Cancer Foundation was not just about money—it was about instilling hope and offering a renewed sense of purpose to young Arhan and his family in their ongoing fight against blood cancer.
