Help Mujahid's Fight in Cancer

Mujahid Ali is 31 years old and was diagnosed with squamous carcinoma of his oral cavity recently. We are so lucky that his cancer has not spread to any other parts of his head (brain)/body or spine as of yet. However, the cancer has caused the bottom of his jaw to begin the necrosis process and is in close contact with his mandibular bone which is now exposed because of the necrosis.

Mujahid’s lymph nodes show no abnormalities (which is a good thing), and there are no findings from his recent CT scan of any metastatic involvement elsewhere. Mujahid needs to have the surgery as soon as possible however or the cancer risks spreading. In Pakistan, where Mujahid is from, GoFundMe is not currently available there. Mujahid’s brother, Saqib Ali, has been desperately searching for help online from others though that has not led him far. Mujahid wakes up and falls asleep with pain every day.

Mujahid needs our help now.

It will cost around 1,500,000.00 Pakistani rupees for his cancer surgery which will consist of a wide local excision, a left mandibular resection with a flap reconstruction (a piece of skin/flesh will be removed from his chest for reconstruction). This is around $10K ($10,000.00/$11,000.00) CDN/USD. The surgery will take between 8 to 10 hours at the very least. But to Mujahid it will be worth it. $500,487.72 Pakistani rupees (around $3,000.00 CDN/USD) will also be needed for pain medications, food, water, and other medical supplies/costs.

Mujahid is living through excruciating pain each and every day. He has a 3-year-old son and his brother who has been fighting for him, Saqib, does not have enough funds or the financial ability to help his brother. Please help this family. I (the creator of this fundraiser - a college student in Canada) am trying as hard as I can to help them with my surrounding resources as well. I will not be able to provide enough money for the surgery on my own. This is where you come in.

Help us save Mujahid.
