Currently, the child is under treatment for relapse, if a second remission was obtained only with an intensive therapeutic allogeneic bone marrow transplant offers hope the best chance of cure, “said a medical certificate from Dr. Chouffal dated February 11, 2010.
The parents of the girl struggling for several months so it can have the best care: chemotherapy, hospital stays, intensive care. However, the survival of the girl depends on the registry, the cost is exorbitant. “It takes two million dirhams for the graft (six months of hospitalization for the mother and daughter and one month for the donor),” says Dr. ALM Hasnaa Azmi, president of the Association of Friendly Sports and Recreation He added that “Khadija monitoring sessions of chemotherapy for 22 months.”

Tennessee floods on Kimberly’s blog…
I’m so sorry…
Too much sorrow on our planet right now…
This is sad to think about. I hope she can be helped. Here in Tennessee, the floods have left 1000s homeless. Its all a bit overwhelming.
I just bought a ticket for 100 MAD. I’m not running but want to support this event…
Any expats going to run on Sunday?

We all know there’re too many children suffering all over the globe and one person can not do much to help.
But I try this way because this is my community at the moment…
I support also Save the Children organization > my yearly donation goes to catastrophe fund.
Here we have many children with that same condition and there have been big campaings to raise money to save them.Because the treatment costs loads of money. Some had a whole page ad in papers and some were lucky to be filmed for the news,and after that the money came pouring in from people who wanted to help.If a newspaper would donate a page for that,it could help a lot.Hopefully Khadija will also get the help she needs.
