Appeal for help

Syeda Meherunnesa Nishat, a student of class one at Renaissance Pre-cadet School in Mirpur, has been suffering from thalassaemia, a type of blood cancer, since she was seven-month old, says a press release.

Nishat, now six and a half years, has been given regular blood transfusion, but doctors said she needs bone marrow transplant immediately, which involves about Tk 50 lakh.

But her father Syed Zunayed Kamal, a small trader, could not afford such expensive treatment.

He has appealed to generous people to extend a helping hand to save her daughter's life.

Contributions can be sent to the following account: Syed Zunayed Kamal, Savings A/C No.- 5104238019, NCC Bank Ltd., Mirpur Branch, Dhaka.

Interested persons can also contact her family over mobile phone - 01711018246.
