Support Sazid's Life-Saving Surgery

Hello,

We would like to ask for your help for the treatment of our friend, Sazidur Rahman Talukder (IBA-DU, BBA-26th), who has been suffering from an aggressively growing tumor in his right femur (thigh bone) since 2020. He has undergone multiple surgeries and extensive treatment plans to solve the issue, to no avail. His latest scans showed that his tumor had spread even more, affecting his pelvis too now.

Therefore, Sazid has had to make the extremely difficult decision of going through with a total limb and half pelvis amputation. On top of that, the surgery is extremely complicated, with a fatality rate of 20% - 30% due to blood loss, which is very worrisome news for all of us. Just to give an idea, he will require approximately 15 bags of blood for this surgery (a human body has only 10 units of blood approx.).

Even then, the problem is not over. Sazid's treatment plan will also consist of rehabilitation, therapy, and multiple plastic surgeries. All of the aforementioned procedures will require a hefty sum of approximately BDT 2 crore (170k US Dollars) (can increase due to multiple risk factors).

As all of you can understand, the financial burden along with the mental turmoil is taking a huge toll on his family. It is not possible to delay the surgery either, as that increases the risk of the tumor spreading further.

As such, we would like to seek all of your efforts to raise funds for him. We request you to help in the following ways:

1. Donate directly, whatever amount you can (this can include your planned zakat). Every penny counts.

2. Help us connect to organizations and communities which can help out. This is super important right now as we need people who can reach out to influential seniors, faculties, company CSR funds, and more parts of the community.

3. Be a part of the donation drive (basically help us in collecting and documenting the donations, reaching out to places, and gathering information from time to time as it is becoming increasingly difficult for only a few people).

4. Spread the news as much as you can among your friends, family, and co-workers as well as the public.

5. If you believe in the power of prayer, please keep Sazid in your thoughts today and in the days to come. His situation is very complex, and he needs every bit of support we can give. May Allah (SWT) grant him complete healing, strength, patience, and a successful recovery.
