Please help 4-year-old Tasheena to undergo bone marrow transplant

-

Ta s h e e n a D e w m a d i Badiwattag­e, four years, had been diagnosed with transfusio­n dependent thalassaem­ia and is currently following supportive treatments at Asiri Central Hospital, Colombo.

To save her life, she needs to undergo a bone marrow transplant as recommende­d by Consultant Haematolog­ist Dr. Lallindra Gooneratne.

The cost of the procedure including provisions of donor cells from overseas would be Rs. 8,000,000. Her parents have received some money after the appeal appeared in Lankadeepa on June 11, 2018.

They require another Rs. 1,000,000 to proceed with Tasheena’s transfusio­n.

As her parents are unable to afford the amount due to financial difficulti­es, they seek assistance from generous donors to save their little daughter’s life.

Please send any donations to Account No. 80191279 at the Bank of Ceylon, Walasmulla branch. Name of the account holder - B. N. Thilakarat­ne (father).
