Jamilya Khassenova

Beautiful Jamilya prepares for a new battle with a deadly disease. The situation is very dire. Please, help!

Janar, the mother of 10-year-old Jamilya, came to our fund for help. Recently her daughter was a bright girl with a confident look and long locks of brown hair. She was wrapped up in her parents' love and dreamed of a bright future. But her liver was struck by an insatiable Cancer. The girl's fate changed dramatically... Unfortunately, cancer doesn't let you wait. If you delay treatment, the deadly disease won't leave a chance. To save Jamilya, the clinic bill has to be paid as soon as possible. But the family doesn't have the money. You are the girl's last hope for survival!

Jamilya Khassenova, 10 years old.

Diagnosis: Liver cancer. Recurring hepatoblastoma.

Needed: Treatment in Medipol Mega Hospitals Group, Istanbul, Turkey.

Amount to be raised: $10,910.

At age 9, Jamilya was rushed by ambulance to the hospital with an 'acute abdomen'. Appendicitis was not confirmed. The diagnosis of liver sarcoma came out of the blue. In an emergency operation, Jami had the tumour removed from three-quarters of her liver. The parents sent the cells to Turkey for analysis, where they found out their daughter had another form of liver cancer, hepatoblastoma! The severe chemotherapy sessions didn't end until autumn 2022. But in the winter of 2023, fatal cancer struck again, and the disease relapsed, taking over vital body systems!

Jami was brought to Medipol Mega Hospitals Group in Istanbul in a wheelchair. An MRI scan and PET-CT showed left tibial metastasis, metastases to the L1 and L2 vertebral discs, the right pubic process, the left iliac bone and the surrounding soft tissue. He was treated immediately with anaesthesia and radiotherapy and took six courses of chemotherapy. So far, the girl has received 5 of them. But the fifth course of high-dose therapy was unbearable for the girl. Her intestines "got hard", and she had a fever, nausea, and no strength. She had lost a third of her weight by this point. Additional measures were needed, IVs, and doctors insisted on hospitalisation. And this affected the amount of treatment. Her parents have no money for their daughter's treatment.

Jamilya grew up to be an active and creative child. She danced and learned to play the violin. The girl not only made videos and posts on social media but always helped by reposting and supporting sick children and making arrangements for animals in distress. Her cat Simba and cat Gaby are also waiting for her at home, and she dreams of having a dog, but so far, she can only afford a toy dog. She has even chosen a profession that helps - a dentist!

Jamilya attracts people who are just as kind and capable of humane treatment. One day, she begs her mother to visit a shopping centre to see the ordinary life of healthy people. Three Turkish children saw the girl without hair and realised she was ill. They approached and gave Jami a teddy bear, which became her mascot and now supports her at all her treatments. Janar, her mother, also believes in the best, in the help of caring people and help from above.

"It is hard to see my daughter suffering. I have no money to pay for life-saving treatment. Only faith in the Almighty and good people help us live every day with the hope that we will make it. I can hardly imagine if we do not pay the clinic bill soon, my little girl Jamilya will remain without treatment. Please help us, I'm begging you!" - Jamilya's mother appeals to everyone.

It is crucial not to interrupt the treatment in Jamila's story. We need your support to prevent a tragedy from happening. You all can be the help on which this seriously ill girl's life depends. Help Jamilya!

Hear the cry for help from Jamiliya. The girl needs you now.
