Support Kazi with Rosa's Urgent Medical Expenses

Final Update: Salam to friends, family, and well-wishers. We want to thank each and every one of you for sending so much love and support to Rosa and Kazi. We want to give you some updates. Rosa is now back in Bangladesh with her family and Kazi is back in New York. Rosa will have to go to India every 3 months for treatment, but as of now, her health is stable. She is also receiving physical therapy at home. She is surrounded by loving family and community. It was possible for Kazi and her family to give her the care and love she deserves without having to worry about finances because of the immense support we received from you all in different ways. We want to thank you all for your kind support, your care. May we always be able to stand together for each other. We will now be closing this fundraiser.

Update: Salam to friends, family, and well-wishers. Thank you to all who were able to support Kazi with Rosa's medical expenses, for those who kept Kazi and her family in your thoughts, and for everyone's immense support. We wanted to take some time to give you all some updates. Rosa is doing better, however, because hospitals in Bangladesh are overwhelmed with new virus threats, she has been sent home to prevent risks of viral infection. Rosa needs a heart procedure that cannot be performed in Bangladesh. Kazi is making arrangements to visit the hospital in Kolkata where Rosa was treated when she was younger and where she can be seen by a pediatric heart specialist. As we wait for Rosa and her mom to be granted emergency medical visas to India, we are anticipating additional medical expenses. We have increased the goal of this fundraiser accordingly. We will continue to post updates to this fundraiser as we know more.

Salam to friends, family, and well-wishers from Rosa and her family. Friends and loved ones of Kazi, Rosa's grandmother, are organizing this fundraiser to support medical expenses and much-needed urgent support for Rosa while she is fighting for her life in the ICU. As many of you know, Kazi has been an organizer, fighting for social justice in NYC, and globally, whenever possible for two decades. Rosa is Kazi's youngest grandchild and only granddaughter and undoubtedly is the light of her life. Rosa brings immense happiness and a breath of life to Kazi, her family, and the community around her.

Over the years, Rosa has seen the four walls of a hospital room more than many of us would in our entire lifetime. Eight-year-old Rosa, who lives in Bangladesh with her parents and her older brother was born with a heart defect. However, we know one thing for certain that, Rosa, is a fighter. A young person should not have to spend their childhood in a hospital bed, her doctors, and her family members are trying to make sure she gets well very soon. On March 7th, Rosa was hospitalized as she went into heart failure, fighting pneumonia. She is bouncing back and forth in the ICU.

Unfortunately, her health condition is not the only thing that the family has to worry about right now. It is also the cost of ensuring that Rosa receives the care she needs to keep fighting. Her medical expenses are increasing every day. We as a community can support Rosa by contributing towards her medical expenses as much as we can, also allowing the family to be completely focused on giving her the care and support needed. Kazi has been supporting our communities for years, it is our time to show the same love and support for her.
