Ray of hope is raising $3,600 to support Asif and his parents for the next 6 months ($600 x 6 months). This will help them with their living expenses to cover for Asif’s lost wages. 

Asif has been working in Singapore since January 2022 to support his parents in Bangladesh. However, a critical medical diagnosis of double kidney failure robbed him of his ability to work in December 2022.This meant that Asif could no longer receive income to support his parents. As the sole breadwinner in his household of 3, this has placed a great amount of stress on Asif and his parents. Asif is currently hospitalised in Singapore and requires frequent dialysis sessions.

Asif started working as a general construction worker in Singapore from January 2022 in hopes of improving his family’s life. Asif was earning approximately $728 monthly, out of which he remitted $550 for his parents’ living expenses. 

On the 30th of December, Asif started to feel extremely sick and breathless. This led to him being sent to the hospital, where they also noticed that his blood pressure was high. After multiple medical examinations, he was diagnosed with kidney failure and told that he required a kidney transplant. Currently, Asif is hospitalised, as he requires dialysis every 2 days. 

Now unable to earn any income, Asif and his family lost their main source of income. The money raised will help lighten his financial burden and buy him time to find other sources of income as well as undergo a kidney transplant back in Bangladesh to help him recover.
