This is the concluding part to a video made about my niece and her battle with a fatal rare genetic condition called Malignant Infantile Osteopetrosis.
Alishba Arzu Qamer is only ten months old, she is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant and is relying on you to come forward and register your life saving donation.
Her treatment plan has involved a lot of painful surgery and we are hoping that this is not being done for nothing. It would be the worst thing if we lost her because a suitable donor wasn't found.
We urgently require members of the Asian community to come forward because tissue type is more commonly found through your own ethnic origin. If you are aged between 18-40 and live in the UK, weigh over 8st with a BMI of less than 35 and are generally in good health, please contact the Anthony Nolan Trust on 020 7284 1234 or alternatively visit the following website: www.anthonynolan.org.uk.

Thank you for your help and support.

  • What a beautiful girl! I lost my son to ostepetrosis 14 years ago and seeing this makes me smile because she is surviving! I wish I could give her what she needs to save her life. God bless you and I will keep her in my prayers.

  • I am saddened to hear that this horrible condition has claimed yet another precious life. I offer you my deepest codolences and I hope that life is treating you well. I am glad that seeing Alishba made you smile, everyone who knows her loves her to pieces, she is a very lovable child. Thank you for you prayers and kindness. x

  • Thank you for posting this- I am going to give serious thought to registering with the anthony Nolan Trust. Best wishes for Alishba and family.

  • Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad it's made you think about donating, that was my aim! Please help spread the word :-)

see all

  • My friend's daughter was diagnosed with osteopetrosis last month, and my husband and I joined a marrow registry here in the states - it was so easy! We will keep Alishba and family in our thoughts.
