It will be appreciated if maximum possible support is extended for this very worthy cause.
Warm regards,

Er. SHAHZAD D. HOZDAR
URGENT APPEAL FOR MEDICAL SUPPORT
Ervad Shahzad Darayus Hozdar, (28 years) has been diagnosed with High Grade Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a condition in which the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells. This puts Shahzad at a high risk of developing Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow.
Unfortunately, Shahzad’s younger brother had passed away at the age of 20 years from the same dreaded AML. The family is devastated to face this nightmare again and are terrified at the prospect of losing another son.
Shahzad’s father (57) met with a severe car accident on 13th July, 2023 and having lost his job is presently serving as a Mobed.
Shahzad is currently not covered under any Medical Insurance Company. He had applied for insurance policy just 3 (three) months earlier resulting in Shahzad unable to make any claim in the first year from the insurance company for such a big illness.
Shahzad is a full-time priest practicing at N. R. Tata Agiary, Bandra West where he works on daily wages basis. Due to his illness, he is unable to work and has no income at present. Shahzad got married eight months back in December 2022 to Natasha and was keen on starting a family. Unfortunately, the sad medical development has left the young couple devastated. Presently Natasha has sacrificed her job to look after Shahzad 24X7, as he needs to be kept in isolation to safeguard him from any infection. Thus, the family does not have any regular monthly income to fall back on.
Shahzad’s family has been informed by the attending doctors that the only cure for the AML disease is a Bone Marrow transplant. However, as Shahzad lost his younger brother in similar tragic circumstances just a few years ago, the procedure has become more complicated. The family has been further informed that, till such time a compatible match is found, Shahzad will have to undergo continuous treatment to control spread of the disease, which in medical terms is called “Maintenance”.
The need for funding has been broken up into two parts:
Medical expenses estimated towards Maintenance:
The break-up of expenses estimated by Doctors towards Maintenance are:
Rs.100,000 per month: Tablet Venetoclax 400 mg once a day (100 mg tablets).
Rs. 22,855 per month: Injection Decitabine 30mg, day 1 to day 5
Rs.130,000 per month: After adding on expenses various test and hospitalisation,
Medical Expenses estimated towards transplant after a match has been found:
Rs.6,000,000: (Rupees six million / sixty lakhs) as per present estimate.
The family is making efforts to register and obtain a similar match which is medically as close as possible to make the transplant successful.
