Hey Guyz!! This is very urgent please people help in anyway you can... I know this doesn't have any connection with entertainment.. but I found this really touching and wanted to share!!

Help Aariz, an infant with Cancer...
1 year old Aariz Atif from Pakistan has liver cancer: hepatoblastoma. After much chemo and secondary problems, his only hope was for a transplant which could only be done overseas. Alhamdulillah he and his parents were given a humanitarian visa and he is awaiting a liver transplant at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.

<<they will not place Aariz on the transplant list until the hospital administration gives financial clearance - that will only be when there is $325,000 deposited into their account - The transplant must be done as soon as possible as his disease is now affecting the portal vein - doctors want him on that list now - his lungs, Alhumdolillah are much improved [they had a fungal infection before] and not a factor in stopping the transplant - the only factor is money>>

PLease go to this website and save a human life, this is not a fraud or a lie

Aariz is 1!!! What a roller coaster ride it has been- Pure Joy at his birth… Devastation at his diagnosis at 2 months… Helplessness when there was nothing else doctors could do for him in Pakistan… Doubt upon coming to America for his treatment… now HOPE… Hope that we will see many many more birthdays… God Willing… Hope that Aariz's joy at seeing loved ones grows and grows together with him… Hope that your support of Aariz and our family continues.


Yesterday, we cut a cake with the nurses at Stony Brook. They take such good care of us. Aariz wanted to eat some cake but couldn't because of the chemotherapy.

Two weeks of daily chemotherapy ended yesterday. He did alright, developing a high fever one night and throwing up another couple of nights. We did our best with electrolytes.

12 total strangers have contributed $1,000 each. We cannot even express our gratitude. His antifungal medicine costs $600 every two weeks now: much better than the $2,200 for the first five days it had cost.



This week Aariz goes for an evaluation at the Children's Hospital at the University of Pittsburgh. The hospital required a deposit of $10,000- our local community centers have donated enough to cover that evaluation. Pittsburgh estimates the transplant costs to be $300,000. We are asking local newspapers to help spread the word. Our TV campaign thanks to Anti Gulafsha and Uncle Faiq Siddiqi raised about $20,000. The most heartwarming and amazing part of it though were the heartfelt prayers – whether over the telephone or in letters: so many beautiful people took time out of their daily lives to think of and to help Aariz and for that we will remain eternally indebted. May God reward you many, many, many, many, many, many, many times over for your good deeds and generous spirit.

Very Sincerely Thankful... Aariz's Mom and Dad.

As of March 6 : $ 80,000 have been raised, still so much to go !!
