Story


“I will never forget the memories I created with my sister. I cannot wait for more…” - Naomi Massey, sister.




My sister, Evita has been the biggest inspiration in my life. She is someone who has taught me to be strong and hardworking. Now, I need to channel the strength for her.


Everything changed in an instant. At 39, she fights a battle that no loved one should face. I see her face severe weakness, bouts of fevers and low white blood cells. It was then that our whole world came to a standstill on the 22nd of December 2025, when we were given the heartbreaking news.




The doctors at Holy Spirit Hospital, Andheri East, Mumbai call it acute myeloid leuukemia. 


Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a fast-acting cancer of the blood and bone marrow. The only way she can fight is with chemotherapy, cancer medication and supportive care.


The same sister who once held my hand through every fear is now lying in the ICU, fighting for her life. As I watch her in that hospital bed, my heart breaks but I want to help her. I want her to fight this and live cancer-free.


Evita deserves to live a life where her dreams come true. But, that can only be possible if she can survive this aggressive cancer. 


All I want is to see my sister back on her feet again, back to a life she once loved and had hope to follow her dreams. The chemotherapy and further treatment costs our family a huge sum and we have already exhausted insurance too. 




Now, her husband is the only earner as she cannot work due to her illness. I come to you today. I seek your generosity in saving her precious life today. 

Evita dreams of having a stable life, one free of hospital rooms. It is your support and kindness that can give us hope. Help my sister fight cancer now.
