Cross-Border Humanitarian Aid for Pakistani Girl
Saba Ahmed, a resident of Karachi, Pakistan, suffers from Wilson’s Disease, a rare genetic condition, for which she needed treatment that could only be provided in Mumbai. Unfortunately, the costs of air travel and treatment are prohibitive. When NGOs in Mumbai, India, first learned about the plight of the 15-year-old they instantly decided to step in. A group in India started online crowdfunding for treatment, more than INR 10 lakhs was raised just through this single initiative and Saba was able to undergo treatment at Jaslok hospital. The experience didn’t just change her life; it also left her with a newfound love for Indians. This story of cross-border humanitarian aid speaks volumes about the spirit of brotherhood between all men.
