Help Thalassemia Patients for Blood Transfusion

Dear Kind Donor,

More than a thousand Thalassemia patients look up to us for their survival across Sindh. Every child needs a blood transfusion, and that too every 2 weeks, which is followed by monthly iron chelation therapy, which is mandatory to protect their organs from iron overload. These treatments are not optional for them; they are the thin line between life and death. 

The extended challenge

During the past few months, the increasing cost of important medicines and medical supplies has made the mission of KITCC even harder. Prices of iron chelation drugs like Deferasirox and Deferiprone have increased because of inflation and a shortage of supply. In parallel, the economic recession is making it difficult for families to get proper Thalassemia treatment, as most of the people are underprivileged, and it's nearly impossible for them to afford any treatment on their own. 

Without the constant support of iron chelation therapy, children suffering from thalassemia have high health risks and might have severe complications like liver failure, diabetes and heart disease. This eventually means shorter life expectancy, which is again not acceptable for us. 

You have created an impact!

Thanks to your generosity, our center has been able to:

• Provided over 18,500 blood transfusions in the past year.
• Administered more than 25,000 iron chelation therapies, saving children from life-threatening iron overload.
• Support awareness and prevention programs to reduce the spread of this inherited condition in future generations.

Every contribution you have made has truly been a lifeline. Each child who smiles after a safe transfusion is proof of the difference you make.

Why do we need you more than ever now?

With the success, we still need you; there is still a huge gap to fill. Rising costs mean that the funds we once used to treat many patients now cover far fewer therapies. To meet the end goals for our project, we still need your donations to ensure uninterrupted treatment for 1,050 registered patients.

We cannot let financial barriers decide who lives and who suffers.

How can you help us?

Your continued support will:

• Secure life-saving chelation medicines.
• Ensure no child misses a transfusion due to lack of funds.
• Provide hope to families who are otherwise helpless.

We hope to keep dreams alive for these children, dreams of going to school, playing with friends, and living a healthy future.

With heartfelt gratitude and hope,
Kashif Iqbal Thalassemia Care Centre Trust (KITCC).
