Salma and Saiful’s Medical & Family Contribution Story

Dear friends, co-workers, and compassionate individuals,

We are reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and a plea for support. Dr. Salma Aktar, her spouse, Dr. Saiful Amin, and their beloved 11-month-old son, Anindo, were in a tragic car accident during Memorial weekend, which left both Salma and her son in critical condition.

As Salma continues to undergo multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation, we humbly ask for your support in raising funds to help cover the medical expenses, ongoing treatments, and other essential costs that have arisen due to this crisis. Your generous contribution will relieve the family's financial worries and offer them the comfort of knowing they are not alone in this fight. Their beloved son, Anindo, a fighter to the end, entered eternal rest on Sunday, June 2nd.

Every dollar donated brings us closer to ensuring that Salma will continue receiving the care she needs and that Saiful can focus on being by her side without the burden of mounting bills. Your kindness and empathy can make a world of difference in their lives. All funds collected in this gofundme will be transferred directly to the Aktar's to help relieve their short and longterm medical bills and funeral expenses. Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser with your network of friends and family to help us reach our goal!

Thank you for coming together with us to support this beloved family during this darkest time. Your thoughts, prayers, and contributions are deeply appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a beacon of hope and compassion in this time of need!
